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

   267     Library/BNF_Axomatization.thy
   268     BNF_Examples/Misc_Primcorec.thy
   269     BNF_Examples/Stream_Processor.thy
   270 
   271   Discontinued theories:
   272     BNF/BNF.thy
   273     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   274 
   275 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   276 
   277 * New (co)datatype package:
   278   - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.
   279   - Command 'datatype_new' generates size functions ("size_xxx" and
   280     "size") as required by 'fun'.
   281   - BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style
   282     (co)datatypes with Transfer.
   283   - Renamed commands:
   284       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   285       primrec_new ~> primrec
   286       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   287     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   288   - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   289     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   290     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   291   - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
   292     generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
   293     using "prim(co)rec".
   294     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   295   - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
   296     default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   297     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   298   - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   299     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   300     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   301     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   302 
   303 * Old datatype package:
   304   - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
   305     renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
   306     "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   307   - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
   308     been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
   309     "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   310 
   311 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
   312   their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
   313   BNF-based datatype package.
   314 
   315   Renamed constants:
   316     Option.set ~> set_option
   317     Option.map ~> map_option
   318     option_rel ~> rel_option
   319 
   320   Renamed theorems:
   321     set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]
   322     map_def ~> map_rec[abs_def]
   323     Option.map_def ~> map_option_case[abs_def] (with "case_option" instead of "rec_option")
   324     option.recs ~> option.rec
   325     list_all2_def ~> list_all2_iff
   326     set.simps ~> set_simps (or the slightly different "list.set")
   327     map.simps ~> list.map
   328     hd.simps ~> list.sel(1)
   329     tl.simps ~> list.sel(2-3)
   330     the.simps ~> option.sel
   331 
   332 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   333 
   334 * The following map functions and relators have been renamed:
   335     sum_map ~> map_sum
   336     map_pair ~> map_prod
   337     prod_rel ~> rel_prod
   338     sum_rel ~> rel_sum
   339     fun_rel ~> rel_fun
   340     set_rel ~> rel_set
   341     filter_rel ~> rel_filter
   342     fset_rel ~> rel_fset (in "src/HOL/Library/FSet.thy")
   343     cset_rel ~> rel_cset (in "src/HOL/Library/Countable_Set_Type.thy")
   344     vset ~> rel_vset (in "src/HOL/Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   345 
   346 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   347 
   348 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
   349 traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
   350 "dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
   351 solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
   352 the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
   353 corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
   354 [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   355 
   356 * SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
   357 "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
   358 4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
   359 supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
   360 of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   361 
   362 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   363 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   364 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   365 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   366 
   367 * Sledgehammer:
   368   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   369   - MaSh overhaul:
   370     . New SML-based learning algorithms eliminate the dependency on
   371       Python and increase performance and reliability.
   372     . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
   373       traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
   374       MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
   375       Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
   376   - New option:
   377       smt_proofs
   378   - Renamed options:
   379       isar_compress ~> compress
   380       isar_try0 ~> try0
   381 
   382 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   383 
   384 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   385 
   386 * Nitpick:
   387   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
   388     take infinite values.
   389   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
   390     "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
   391   - Removed "std" option.
   392   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   393     "hide_types".
   394 
   395 * Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
   396 (full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   397 
   398 * Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.
   399 
   400 * Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
   401   - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
   402   - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
   403     SUP instead uniformly.
   404   - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
   405     or SUP and Sup.
   406   - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
   407   - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
   408   - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
   409     simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
   410     INT_cong, SUP_cong
   411 
   412 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   413 
   414 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.
   415 
   416 * Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:
   417 
   418   image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   419   image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
   420   vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]

   571   - Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".

   573   - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   574     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   575   - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   576     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
   577   - Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

   628 
   629 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   630 
   631 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   632 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   633 
   634 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   635 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   636 
   637 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   638 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   639 or the brute way with
   640 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   641 
   642 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
   643 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
   644 stating boundedness of sets.
   645 
   646 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
   647 syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
   648 additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

   681 
   682   - removed constant isDiff
   683 
   684   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
   685     input syntax.
   686 
   687   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.
   688 
   689   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   690

   692 
   693   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   694 
   695   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
   696     includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
   697     has_vector_derivative.

   708 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   709 
   710 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
   711 continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
   712 in continuous_intros.
   713 
   714 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
   715 the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
   716 primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   717 
   718 Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
   719 are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
   720 especially removes
   721 
   722     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   723 
   724 Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   725     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"

   777     "uint_word_arith_bintrs".
   778 
   779 * HOL-Number_Theory:
   780   - consolidated the proofs of the binomial theorem
   781   - the function fib is again of type nat => nat and not overloaded
   782   - no more references to Old_Number_Theory in the HOL libraries
   783     (except the AFP)
   784

   791   - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   792     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   793     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   794     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   795     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
   796     intervals.
   797   - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
   798     introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space

   913     lebesgue_integral_nonneg
   914     lebesgue_integral_uminus
   915     lebesgue_integral_cmult

   918     integral_cmul_indicator
   919     integral_real
   920 
   921   - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:
   922 
   923     . Renamed all lemmas "*positive_integral*" to *nn_integral*"
   924       positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg
   925 
   926     . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.
   927 
   928   - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
   929     distributed random variables.
   930 
   931 * HOL-Decision_Procs: Separate command 'approximate' for approximative
   932 computation in src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor
   933 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   934 
   935 
   936 *** Scala ***
   937 
   938 * The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
   939 select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
   940 order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
   941 specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
   942 guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
   943 
   944 * Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
   945 channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   946 
   947 
   948 *** ML ***
   949 
   950 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   951 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   952 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   953 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   954 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   955 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   956 
   957 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   958 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   959 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   960 actually belongs to it).
   961 
   962 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   963 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   964 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   965 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   966 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   967 of schematic variables.
   968 
   969 * Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
   970 structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   971 
   972 * Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
   973 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
   974 via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   975 
   976 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   977 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   978 
   979 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   980 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   981 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   982 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   983 
   984 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   985 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   986 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   987 formal context.
   988 
   989 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   990 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   991 
   992 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   993 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   994 
   995 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   996 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   997 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   998 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   999 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
  1000 
  1001 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
  1002 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
  1003 purposes.
  1004 
  1005 
  1006 *** System ***
  1007 
  1008 * Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
  1009 Isabelle component, e.g. see ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
  1010 component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  Note that
  1011 the "system" manual provides general explanations about add-on
  1012 components, especially those that are not bundled with the release.
  1013 
  1014 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
  1015 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
  1016 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
  1017 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
  1018 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the ISABELLE_PROCESS
  1019 settings variable.
  1020 
  1021 * Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
  1022 with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
  1023 obsolete Isar TTY loop.
  1024 
  1025 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
  1026 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
  1027 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
  1028 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
  1029 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
  1030 
  1031 * Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
  1032 for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
  1033 as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.
  1034 
  1035 * Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
  1036 integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.
  1037 
  1038 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
  1039 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
  1040 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
  1041 
  1042 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
  1043 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
  1044 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
  1045 processing is started.
  1046 
  1047 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
  1048 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
  1049 
  1050 
  1051 
  1052 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
  1053 -------------------------------------
  1054 
  1055 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1056 
  1057 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
  1058 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
  1059 
  1060 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
  1061 after edits surrounding the command location.
  1062 
  1063 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
  1064 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
  1065 e.g. out-of-memory).
  1066 
  1067 
  1068 *** System ***
  1069 
  1070 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
  1071 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
  1072 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
  1073 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
  1074 
  1075 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
  1076 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
  1077 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
  1078 
  1079 
  1080 
  1081 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
  1082 -------------------------------------
  1083 
  1084 *** General ***
  1085 
  1086 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
  1087 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
  1088 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1089 
  1090 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
  1091 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1092 
  1093 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
  1094 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
  1095 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
  1096 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
  1097 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
  1098 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
  1099 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
  1100 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
  1101 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
  1102 syntax.
  1103 
  1104 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
  1105 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1106 
  1107 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
  1108 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
  1109 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
  1110 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
  1111 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
  1112 
  1113 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
  1114 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1115 
  1116 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
  1117 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
  1118 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
  1119 
  1120 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
  1121 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
  1122 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
  1123 
  1124 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
  1125 eliminated old "ref" manual.
  1126 
  1127 
  1128 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1129 
  1130 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
  1131 Documentation panel.
  1132 
  1133 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
  1134 documentation.
  1135 
  1136 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
  1137 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
  1138 
  1139 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
  1140 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
  1141 normal editing and checking process.
  1142 
  1143 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
  1144 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
  1145 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
  1146 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
  1147 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
  1148 
  1149 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
  1150 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
  1151 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
  1152 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
  1153 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
  1154 
  1155 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
  1156 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
  1157 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
  1158 
  1159 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
  1160 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
  1161 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
  1162 to resolve conflict.
  1163 
  1164 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
  1165 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
  1166 
  1167 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
  1168 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
  1169 such command executions while editing.
  1170 
  1171 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
  1172 document content.
  1173 
  1174 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
  1175 toplevel theorem statements.
  1176 
  1177 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
  1178 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
  1179 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
  1180 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
  1181 
  1182 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
  1183 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
  1184 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
  1185 
  1186 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1187 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1188 
  1189 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1190 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1191 
  1192 
  1193 *** Pure ***
  1194 
  1195 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1196 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1197 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1198 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1199 details.
  1200 
  1201 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1202 
  1203 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1204 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1205 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1206 
  1207 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1208 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1209 
  1210 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1211 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1212 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1213 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1214 
  1215 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1216 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1217 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1218 
  1219 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1220 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1221 
  1222 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1223 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1224 situations.
  1225 
  1226 
  1227 *** HOL ***
  1228 
  1229 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1230 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1231 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1232 
  1233 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1234 
  1235 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1236 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1237 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1238 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1239 
  1240   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1241 
  1242 * Code generator:
  1243   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1244     'code_instance'.
  1245   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1246     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1247 
  1248 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1249 examples.
  1250 
  1251 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1252 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1253 to distinguish both when desired.
  1254 
  1255 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1256 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1257 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1258 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1259 
  1260 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1261 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1262 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1263 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1264 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1265 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1266 
  1267 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1268 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1269 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1270 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1271 
  1272 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1273 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1274 
  1275 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1276 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1277 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1278 
  1279 * Lifting:
  1280   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1281     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1282       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1283       transfer rules
  1284     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1285       correspondence relation can be generated
  1286     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1287       parametricity
  1288     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1289   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1290   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1291     copies
  1292   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1293     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1294     anonymous context)
  1295   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1296     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1297   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1298     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1299   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1300     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1301 
  1302 * Transfer:
  1303   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1304     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1305   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1306   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1307     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1308   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1309 
  1310 * Reification and reflection:
  1311   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1312     "Reification".
  1313   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1314   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1315 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1316 
  1317 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1318   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1319     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1320     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1321   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1322     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1323   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1324     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1325     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1326     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1327     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1328     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1329     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1330     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1331   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1332     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1333   - Fact renames:
  1334       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1335       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1336 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1337 
  1338 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1339 
  1340 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1341 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1342 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1343 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1344 
  1345 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1346 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1347 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1348 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1349 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1350 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1351 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1352 lemmas.
  1353 
  1354 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1355 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1356 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1357 
  1358 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1359 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1360 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1361 
  1362 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1363 top and bottom elements.
  1364 
  1365 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1366 
  1367 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1368 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1369 
  1370  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1371    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1372    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1373 
  1374  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1375    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1376    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1377 
  1378    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1379    arbitrary filter.
  1380 
  1381  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1382    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1383    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1384    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1385    on a compact set.
  1386 
  1387  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1388    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1389    linear_continuum_topology).
  1390 
  1391  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1392    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1393    on all sequences converging to x.
  1394 
  1395  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1396    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1397    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1398    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1399    left or right.
  1400 
  1401  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1402 
  1403      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1404 
  1405  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1406    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1407 
  1408  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1409    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1410    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1411    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1412    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1413    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1414 
  1415  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1416 
  1417    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1418 
  1419    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1420      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1421 
  1422    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1423 
  1424    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1425      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1426 
  1427    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1428 
  1429    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1430 
  1431  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1432 
  1433 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1434 
  1435 * Nitpick:
  1436   - Added option "spy".
  1437   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1438 
  1439 * Sledgehammer:
  1440   - Renamed option:
  1441       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1442     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1443   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1444   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1445   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1446 
  1447 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1448 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1449 
  1450 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1451   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1452   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1453     generated code.
  1454   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1455   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1456   - Fact renames:
  1457     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1458     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1459     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1460 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1461 
  1462 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1463 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1464 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1465 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1466 
  1467 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1468 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1469 
  1470 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1471 
  1472 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1473 
  1474     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1475     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1476 
  1477 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1478 
  1479 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1480 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1481 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1482 
  1483 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1484 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1485 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1486 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1487 
  1488 * HOL-BNF:
  1489   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1490     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1491     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1492     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1493   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1494     coinduct).
  1495   - Renamed keywords:
  1496     data ~> datatype_new
  1497     codata ~> codatatype
  1498     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1499   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1500     discs ~> disc
  1501     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1502     map_id' ~> map_id
  1503     sels ~> sel
  1504     set_map' ~> set_map
  1505     sets ~> set
  1506 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1507 
  1508 
  1509 *** ML ***
  1510 
  1511 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1512 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1513 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1514 Examples.thy in particular.
  1515 
  1516 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1517 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1518 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1519 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1520 
  1521 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1522 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1523 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1524 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1525 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1526 
  1527 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1528 
  1529     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1530     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1531 
  1532 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1533 
  1534 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1535 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1536 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1537 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1538 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1539 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1540 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1541 
  1542 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1543 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1544 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1545 clasets separately from the context.
  1546 
  1547 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1548 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1549 
  1550 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1551 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1552 
  1553 
  1554 *** System ***
  1555 
  1556 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1557 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1558 
  1559 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1560 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1561 
  1562 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1563 settings variable.
  1564 
  1565 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1566 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1567 always pdf.
  1568 
  1569 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1570 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1571 
  1572 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1573 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1574 
  1575 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1576 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1577 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1578 
  1579 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1580 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1581 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1582 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1583 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1584 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1585 
  1586 
  1587 
  1588 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1589 -----------------------------------
  1590 
  1591 *** General ***
  1592 
  1593 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1594 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1595 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1596 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1597 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1598 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1599 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1600 
  1601 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1602 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1603 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1604 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1605 
  1606 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1607 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1608 
  1609 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1610 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1611 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1612 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1613 dependencies properly.
  1614 
  1615 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1616 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1617 
  1618 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1619 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1620 
  1621 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1622 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1623 and "class ... context ...".
  1624 
  1625 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1626 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1627 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1628 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1629 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1630 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1631 
  1632 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1633 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1634 
  1635 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1636 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1637 
  1638 
  1639 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1640 
  1641 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1642 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1643 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1644 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1645 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1646 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1647 
  1648 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1649 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1650 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1651 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1652 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1653 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1654 
  1655 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1656 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1657 browser on demand.
  1658 
  1659 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1660 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1661 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1662 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1663 
  1664 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1665 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1666 
  1667 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1668 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1669 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1670 potentially infinite message streams.
  1671 
  1672 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1673 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1674 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1675 schemes.
  1676 
  1677 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1678 symbols.
  1679 
  1680 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1681 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1682 
  1683 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1684 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1685 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1686 
  1687 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1688 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1689 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1690 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1691 
  1692 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1693 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1694 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1695 
  1696 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1697 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1698 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1699 Isabelle distribution.
  1700 
  1701 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1702 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1703 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1704 
  1705 
  1706 *** Pure ***
  1707 
  1708 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1709 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1710 
  1711 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1712 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1713 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1714 
  1715 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1716 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1717 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1718 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1719 with some care where this is really required.
  1720 
  1721 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1722 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1723 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1724 
  1725   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1726 
  1727 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1728 a Hasse diagram.
  1729 
  1730 
  1731 *** HOL ***
  1732 
  1733 * Sledgehammer:
  1734 
  1735   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1736     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1737   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1738   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1739   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1740   - Renamed options:
  1741       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1742       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1743       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1744       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1745 
  1746 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1747 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1748 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1749 
  1750 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1751 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1752 
  1753 * Lifting:
  1754   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1755   - quot_del attribute
  1756   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1757 
  1758 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1759 expressions.
  1760 
  1761 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1762 pointfree expressions.
  1763 
  1764 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1765 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1766 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1767 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1768 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1769 
  1770 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1771 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1772 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1773 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1774 accordingly.
  1775 
  1776 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1777 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1778 
  1779 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1780 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1781 
  1782 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1783 
  1784 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1785 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1786 
  1787 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1788 
  1789 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1790 
  1791   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1792   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1793 
  1794 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1795 
  1796 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1797 
  1798   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1799   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1800 
  1801 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1802 
  1803 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1804 
  1805   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1806     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1807     output f x converges to G.
  1808 
  1809   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1810     infinity (at_bot).
  1811 
  1812   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1813     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1814 
  1815   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1816     at_top".
  1817 
  1818 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1819 
  1820 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1821 lattice type classes.
  1822 
  1823 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1824 
  1825     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1826     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1827 
  1828 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1829 
  1830 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1831 changes as follows.
  1832 
  1833   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1834 
  1835       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1836       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1837 
  1838   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1839     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1840     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1841     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1842 
  1843   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1844     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1845     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1846 
  1847   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1848     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1849     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1850     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1851 
  1852   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1853     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1854 
  1855       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1856       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1857       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1858       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1859       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1860       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1861       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1862       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1863       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1864       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1865       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1866       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1867       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1868       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1869       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1870       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1871 
  1872 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1873 
  1874 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1875 
  1876 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1877 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1878 
  1879 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1880 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1881 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1882 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1883 
  1884   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1885   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1886   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1887   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1888   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1889   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1890   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1891   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1892   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1893   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1894 
  1895 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1896 
  1897 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1898 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1899 Data").
  1900 
  1901 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1902 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1903 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1904 code.
  1905 
  1906 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1907 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1908 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1909 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1910 
  1911 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1912 
  1913 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1914 
  1915 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1916 
  1917   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1918   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1919 
  1920 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1921 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1922 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1923 
  1924   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1925 
  1926     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1927     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1928     cart_base i  removed
  1929     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1930 
  1931   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1932 
  1933   Renamed lemmas:
  1934 
  1935     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1936     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1937     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1938     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1939     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1940     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1941     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1942     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1943     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1944     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1945 
  1946 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1947 
  1948 * HOL/Probability:
  1949 
  1950   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1951 
  1952   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1953     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1954     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1955 
  1956   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1957     projective family).
  1958 
  1959 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1960 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1961 
  1962 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1963 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1964 datatypes.
  1965 
  1966 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1967 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1968 
  1969 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1970 trees for the code generator.
  1971 
  1972 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1973 Lifting/Transfer.
  1974 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1975 
  1976 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1977 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1978 
  1979 
  1980 *** Document preparation ***
  1981 
  1982 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1983 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1984 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1985 
  1986 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1987 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1988 
  1989 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1990 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1991 document/root.tex.
  1992 
  1993 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1994 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1995 
  1996 
  1997 *** ML ***
  1998 
  1999 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  2000 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  2001 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  2002 
  2003 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  2004 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  2005 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  2006 
  2007 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  2008 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  2009 necessarily printing visible text.
  2010 
  2011 
  2012 *** System ***
  2013 
  2014 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  2015 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  2016 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  2017 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  2018 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  2019 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  2020 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  2021 
  2022 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  2023 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  2024 
  2025   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  2026 
  2027 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  2028 
  2029 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  2030 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  2031 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  2032 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  2033 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  2034 
  2035 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  2036 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  2037 
  2038 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  2039 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  2040 
  2041 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  2042 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2043 
  2044 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  2045 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  2046 version of Isabelle.
  2047 
  2048 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  2049 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  2050 
  2051 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  2052 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  2053 for home-made settings.
  2054 
  2055 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  2056 
  2057 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  2058 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  2059 configuration.
  2060 
  2061 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  2062 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  2063 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  2064 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  2065 bundled as Isabelle component.
  2066 
  2067 
  2068 
  2069 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  2070 ------------------------------
  2071 
  2072 *** General ***
  2073 
  2074 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  2075 
  2076   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  2077     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  2078   - markup for bound variables
  2079   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  2080   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  2081   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  2082     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  2083 
  2084 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  2085 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  2086 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  2087 
  2088 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  2089 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  2090 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  2091 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  2092 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  2093 
  2094   context
  2095     fixes x y z :: 'a
  2096     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  2097   begin
  2098 
  2099   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  2100 
  2101   end
  2102 
  2103   thm my_trans
  2104 
  2105 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  2106 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  2107 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  2108 
  2109 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  2110 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  2111 
  2112 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  2113 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  2114 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  2115 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  2116 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  2117 
  2118 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  2119 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  2120 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  2121 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  2122 indices of schematic variables.
  2123 
  2124 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  2125 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  2126 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2127 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  2128 etc. was exploited.
  2129 
  2130 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  2131 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  2132 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  2133 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  2134 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  2135 of the material of that old tutorial.
  2136 
  2137 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  2138 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  2139 manual.
  2140 
  2141 
  2142 *** Pure ***
  2143 
  2144 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  2145 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  2146 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  2147 
  2148 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  2149 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  2150 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  2151 undocumented feature.)
  2152 
  2153 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  2154 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  2155 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  2156 
  2157   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  2158 
  2159   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  2160     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  2161 
  2162 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  2163 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  2164 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  2165 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  2166 
  2167 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  2168 
  2169     num ~> num_token
  2170     xnum ~> xnum_token
  2171     xstr ~> str_token
  2172 
  2173 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  2174 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  2175 position information via constraints).
  2176 
  2177 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  2178 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  2179 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2180 
  2181 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  2182 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  2183 
  2184 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  2185 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2186 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2187 
  2188 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2189 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2190 
  2191 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2192 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2193 
  2194   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2195 
  2196 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2197 
  2198 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2199 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2200 
  2201 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2202 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2203 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2204 
  2205 
  2206 *** HOL ***
  2207 
  2208 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2209 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2210 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2211 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2212 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2213 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2214 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2215 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2216 possible.
  2217 
  2218 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2219 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2220 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2221 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2222 
  2223 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2224 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2225 
  2226 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2227 
  2228 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2229 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2230 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2231 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2232 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2233 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2234 
  2235   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2236     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2237 
  2238   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2239     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2240     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2241 
  2242   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2243     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2244 
  2245   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2246     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2247     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2248 
  2249   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2250     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2251 
  2252 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2253 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2254 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2255 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2256 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2257 
  2258   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2259     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2260     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2261     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2262     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2263 
  2264     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2265     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2266 
  2267   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2268     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2269     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2270     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2271     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2272     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2273     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2274     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2275 
  2276   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2277     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2278     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2279     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2280 
  2281   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2282     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2283     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2284     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2285 
  2286   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2287     from type nat to type int.
  2288 
  2289 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2290 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2291 
  2292   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2293     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2294     type.  Example syntax:
  2295 
  2296     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2297       is List.insert
  2298 
  2299     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2300     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2301     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2302     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2303     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2304     by the package.
  2305 
  2306   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2307     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2308     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2309     code generation for each constant.
  2310 
  2311   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2312     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2313     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2314     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2315     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2316 
  2317   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2318     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2319     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2320 
  2321 * Quotient package:
  2322 
  2323   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2324     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2325 
  2326   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2327     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2328 
  2329   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2330     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2331     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2332 
  2333   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2334     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2335 
  2336 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2337 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2338 
  2339 * Quickcheck:
  2340 
  2341   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2342     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2343     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2344     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2345     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2346 
  2347     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2348     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2349     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2350 
  2351     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2352     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2353 
  2354     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2355     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2356     show genuine counterexamples.
  2357 
  2358   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2359     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2360 
  2361     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2362     constructors of that type.
  2363 
  2364   - Support for multisets.
  2365 
  2366   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2367 
  2368   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2369     conjectures in a locale context.
  2370 
  2371 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2372 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2373 
  2374 * Sledgehammer:
  2375   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2376     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2377   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2378   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2379     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2380   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2381   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2382   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2383   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2384 
  2385 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2386 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2387 
  2388 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2389 
  2390 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2391 
  2392 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2393 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2394 
  2395   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2396 
  2397 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2398 a list and a nat.
  2399 
  2400 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2401 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2402 
  2403 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2404 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2405 default.
  2406 
  2407 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2408 
  2409   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2410 
  2411 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2412 
  2413 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2414 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2415 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2416 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2417 one_case.
  2418 
  2419 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2420 the result of the fact expression.
  2421 
  2422 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2423 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2424 of some relation theorems:
  2425 
  2426   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2427   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2428   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2429   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2430   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2431   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2432 
  2433 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2434 
  2435 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2436 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2437 
  2438 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2439 
  2440 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2441 to match the constant's name:
  2442 
  2443   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2444   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  2445   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
  2446   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
  2447   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
  2448   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
  2449   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
  2450   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
  2451   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
  2452   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
  2453   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
  2454   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
  2455   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
  2456   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
  2457   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
  2458   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
  2459   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
  2460   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
  2461   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
  2462   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
  2463   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
  2464   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2465   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  2466   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
  2467 
  2468 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2469 
  2470 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2471 and corresponding theorem names:
  2472 
  2473   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2474 
  2475   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2476 
  2477   - Renamed theorems:
  2478 
  2479     rel_compI ~> relcompI
  2480     rel_compEpair ~> relcompEpair
  2481     rel_compE ~> relcompE
  2482     pred_comp_rel_comp_eq ~> relcompp_relcomp_eq
  2483     rel_comp_empty1 ~> relcomp_empty1
  2484     rel_comp_mono ~> relcomp_mono
  2485     rel_comp_subset_Sigma ~> relcomp_subset_Sigma
  2486     rel_comp_distrib ~> relcomp_distrib
  2487     rel_comp_distrib2 ~> relcomp_distrib2
  2488     rel_comp_UNION_distrib ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib
  2489     rel_comp_UNION_distrib2 ~> relcomp_UNION_distrib2
  2490     single_valued_rel_comp ~> single_valued_relcomp
  2491     rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2492     converse_rel_comp ~> converse_relcomp
  2493     pred_compI ~> relcomppI
  2494     pred_compE ~> relcomppE
  2495     pred_comp_bot1 ~> relcompp_bot1
  2496     pred_comp_bot2 ~> relcompp_bot2
  2497     transp_pred_comp_less_eq ~> transp_relcompp_less_eq
  2498     pred_comp_mono ~> relcompp_mono
  2499     pred_comp_distrib ~> relcompp_distrib
  2500     pred_comp_distrib2 ~> relcompp_distrib2
  2501     converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp
  2502 
  2503     finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp
  2504 
  2505     set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp
  2506 
  2507 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2508 
  2509 * Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
  2510 INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.
  2511 
  2512   DIVISION_BY_ZERO ~> div_by_0, mod_by_0
  2513   zdiv_self ~> div_self

  2823 
  2824 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,

  2827 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2875 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2876 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2877 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2878 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2879 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2880 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2881 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2882 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2883 
  2884 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2885 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2886 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2887 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2888 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2889 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2890 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2891 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2892 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2893 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2894 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2895 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2896 
  2897   Renamed constants:
  2898   measure -> emeasure
  2899   finite_measure.\<mu>' -> measure
  2900   product_algebra_generator -> prod_algebra
  2901   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb
  2902   product_prob_space.infprod_algebra -> PiM

  3057 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  3058 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  3059 
  3060 
  3061 *** FOL ***
  3062 
  3063 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  3064 
  3065 
  3066 *** ZF ***
  3067 
  3068 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  3069 analysis.
  3070 
  3071 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  3072 
  3073 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3074 
  3075 
  3076 *** ML ***
  3077 
  3078 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  3079 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  3080 
  3081 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  3082 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  3083 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  3084 
  3085 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  3086 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  3087 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  3088 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  3089 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  3090 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  3091 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  3092 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  3093 
  3094 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  3095 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  3096 
  3097 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  3098 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  3099 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  3100 
  3101 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3102 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3103 
  3104 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  3105 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  3106 context as well.
  3107 
  3108 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  3109 
  3110   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  3111   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  3112   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  3113   delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  3114   setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  3115   setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  3116   setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  3117   setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  3118   settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  3119   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  3120   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  3121   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  3122 
  3123 
  3124 *** System ***
  3125 
  3126 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  3127 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  3128 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  3129 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  3130 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  3131 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  3132 the generic user home was intended.
  3133 
  3134 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  3135 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  3136 
  3137 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  3138 (not just JRE).
  3139 
  3140 
  3141 
  3142 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  3143 ------------------------------------
  3144 
  3145 *** General ***
  3146 
  3147 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  3148 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  3149 
  3150   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  3151     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  3152     files for checking).
  3153 
  3154   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  3155     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  3156     positions.
  3157 
  3158   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  3159     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  3160     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  3161 
  3162   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  3163     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  3164     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  3165 
  3166   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  3167     cores.
  3168 
  3169   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  3170     versions (garbage collection).
  3171 
  3172 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  3173 including some remaining limitations.
  3174 
  3175 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  3176 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3177 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  3178 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  3179 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  3180 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3181 
  3182 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  3183 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  3184 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  3185 
  3186 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3187 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3188 usedir option -Q.
  3189 
  3190 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3191 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3192 
  3193   long_names   ~> names_long
  3194   short_names  ~> names_short
  3195   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3196 
  3197 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3198 
  3199   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3200 
  3201 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3202 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3203 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3204 
  3205 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3206 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3207 
  3208 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3209   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3210   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3211   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3212     "Classical Reasoner".
  3213 
  3214 
  3215 *** HOL ***
  3216 
  3217 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3218 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3219 
  3220 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3221 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3222 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3223 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3224 class complete_linorder.
  3225 
  3226 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3227 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3228 
  3229 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3230 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3231 
  3232   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3233   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3234   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3235   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3236   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3237   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3238   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3239   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3240   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3241   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3242   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3243 
  3244 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3245 
  3246   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3247   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3248   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  3262 
  3263 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3264 
  3265 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3266 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3267 
  3268 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3269 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3270 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3271 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3272 
  3273 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3274 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3275 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3276 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3277 
  3278 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3279 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3280 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3281 
  3282 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3283 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3284 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3285 
  3286 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3287 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3288 
  3289 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3290 
  3291     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3292     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3293 
  3294 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3295 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3296 
  3297 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3298 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3299 
  3300 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3301 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3302 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3303 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3399 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3400 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3401 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3402 
  3403 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3404 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3405 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3406 
  3407 * Code generation:
  3408 
  3409   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3410     characters in the target language.
  3411 
  3412   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3413     instead.
  3414 
  3415   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3416 
  3417   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3418     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3419 
  3420       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3421 
  3422 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3423 
  3424 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3425 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3426 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3427 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3428 syntax.
  3429 
  3430 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3431 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3432 
  3433 * Nitpick:
  3434   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3435   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3436   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3437     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3438 
  3439 * Sledgehammer:
  3440   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3441   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3442     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3443   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3444     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3445   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3446     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3447   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3448     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3449   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3450     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3451 
  3452 * Metis:
  3453   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3454   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3455     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3456 
  3457 * Command 'try':
  3458   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3459     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3460   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3461     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3462 
  3463 * Quickcheck:
  3464   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3465     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3466   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3467     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3468   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3469     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3470     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3471     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3472   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3473     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3474 
  3475 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3476 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3477 
  3478 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3479 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3480 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3481 
  3482 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3483 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3484 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3485 
  3486 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3487 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3488 
  3489 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3490 arithmetic.
  3491 
  3492 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3493 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3494 and lattice type classes.
  3495 
  3496 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3497 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3498 
  3499 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3500 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3501 
  3502 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3503 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3504 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3505 
  3506   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3507   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3508   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3509   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3510 
  3511 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3512 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3513 constants:
  3514 
  3515   type inat   ~> type enat
  3516   Fin         ~> enat
  3517   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3518   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3519   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3520 
  3521 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3522 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3523 
  3524 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3525 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3526 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3527 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3528 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3529 
  3530 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3531 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3532 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3533 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3534 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3535 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3536 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3537 
  3538   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3539   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3540   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3541   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3542 
  3543 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3544 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3545 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3599 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3600   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3601   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3602   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3603   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3604     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3636 
  3637 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3638 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3639 same.
  3640 
  3641 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3642 result.
  3643 
  3644 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3645 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3646 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3647 
  3648 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3649 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3650 
  3651 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3652 like this:
  3653 
  3654   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3655   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3656 
  3657 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3658 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3659 layouts.
  3660 
  3661 
  3662 *** ML ***
  3663 
  3664 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3665 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3666 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3667 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3668 under external program control.
  3669 
  3670 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3671 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3672 
  3673 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3674 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3675 (better known as Proof General).
  3676 
  3677 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3678 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3679 
  3680 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3681 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3682 
  3683 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3684 (including quotes etc.).
  3685 
  3686 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3687 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3688 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3689 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3690 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3691 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3692 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3693 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3694 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3695 
  3696 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3697 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3698 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3699 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3700 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3701 
  3702 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3703 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3704 
  3705 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3706 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3707 
  3708 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3709 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3710 
  3711 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3712 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3713 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3714 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3715 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3716 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3717 proper Proof.context.
  3718 
  3719 
  3720 *** System ***
  3721 
  3722 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3723 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3724 
  3725 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3726 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3727 
  3728 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3729 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3730 
  3731   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3732   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3733   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3734   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3735   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3736 
  3737 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3738 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3739 
  3740 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3741 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3742 example:
  3743 
  3744   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3745 
  3746 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3747 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3748 
  3749 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3750 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3751 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3752 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3753 
  3754 
  3755 
  3756 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3757 ----------------------------------
  3758 
  3759 *** General ***
  3760 
  3761 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3762 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3763 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3764 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3765 like this:
  3766 
  3767   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3768 
  3769 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3770 
  3771 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3772 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3773 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3774 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3775 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3776 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3777 
  3778 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3779 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3780 the following package declarations:
  3781 
  3782   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3783   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3784 
  3785 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3786 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3787 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3788 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3789 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3790 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3791 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3792 
  3793 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3794 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3795 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3796 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3797 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3798 
  3799 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3800 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3801 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3802 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3803 
  3804 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3805 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3806 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3807 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3808 
  3809   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)
  3810

  3821   Syntax.ambiguity_level        syntax_ambiguity_level
  3822 
  3823   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  3824   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  3825 
  3826   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  3827 
  3828   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  3830   Thy_Output.indent             thy_output_indent
  3831   Thy_Output.source             thy_output_source
  3832   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  3833 
  3834 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3835 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3836 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3837 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3838 
  3839 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3840 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3841 
  3842   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3843   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3844 
  3845 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3846 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3847 float_token.
  3848 
  3849 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3850 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3851 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3852 
  3853 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3854 DejaVu Sans.
  3855 
  3856 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3857 
  3858 
  3859 *** Pure ***
  3860 
  3861 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3862 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3863 time.
  3864 
  3865 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3866 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3867 
  3868 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3869 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3870 
  3871 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3872 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3873 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3874 command already provided this functionality.
  3875 
  3876 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3877 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3878 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3879 without interpretations.
  3880 
  3881 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3882 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3883 
  3884 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3885 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3886 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3887 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3888 
  3889 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3890 'definition' instead.
  3891 
  3892 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3893 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3894 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3895 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3896 
  3897 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3898 constructors.
  3899 
  3900 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3901 the local file system.
  3902 
  3903 
  3904 *** HOL ***
  3905 
  3906 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3907 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3908 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3909 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3910 
  3911   declare [[coercion f]]
  3912 
  3913 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3914 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3915 
  3916   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3917 
  3918 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3919 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3920 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3921 other theories like this:
  3922 
  3923   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3924 
  3925 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3926 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3927 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3928 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3929 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3930 for examples.
  3931 
  3932 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3933 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3934 
  3935 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3936 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3937 
  3938 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3939 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3940 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3941 
  3942 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3943 functorial structure of types.
  3944 
  3945 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3946 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3947 
  3948 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3949 languages.
  3950 
  3951 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3952 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3953 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3954 
  3955 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3956 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3957 
  3958 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3959 combinators any longer.
  3960 
  3961 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3962 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3963 
  3964 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3965 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3966 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3967 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3968 
  3969   record 'a foo = ...
  3970   ...
  3971   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3972 
  3973 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3974 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3975 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3976 
  3977 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3978 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3979 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3980 
  3981 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3982 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3983 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3984 
  3985 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3986 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3987 
  3988 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3989 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3990 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3991 independently.
  3992 
  3993 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3994 counter example search.
  3995 
  3996 * Sledgehammer:
  3997   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3998     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3999     sledgehammer").
  4000   - Renamed commands:
  4001     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  4002     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  4003     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  4004     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4005   - Renamed options:
  4006     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  4007     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  4008     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  4009     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  4010     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4011 
  4012 * Nitpick:
  4013   - Renamed options:
  4014     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  4015     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  4016     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4017   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  4018   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  4019   - Added "whack" option.
  4020   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  4021   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  4022   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  4023   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  4024     higher cardinalities.
  4025   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  4026 
  4027 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  4028 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  4029 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  4030 
  4031     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  4032 
  4033 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  4034 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  4035 
  4036 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  4037 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  4038 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  4039 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  4040 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  4041 "smt_solver".
  4042 
  4043 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  4044 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  4045 
  4046 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  4047 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  4048 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  4049 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4050 
  4051 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  4052   - Renamed:
  4053     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  4054     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  4055     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4056   - Added:
  4057     smt_verbose
  4058     smt_random_seed
  4059     smt_datatypes
  4060     smt_infer_triggers
  4061     smt_monomorph_limit
  4062     cvc3_options
  4063     remote_cvc3_options
  4064     remote_z3_options
  4065     yices_options
  4066 
  4067 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  4068 header.
  4069 
  4070 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  4071 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  4072 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  4073 
  4074   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  4075 
  4076 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4077 
  4078 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  4079 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4080 
  4081 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4082 
  4083 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  4084 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4085 
  4086 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  4087 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  4088 
  4089 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  4090 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4091 
  4092 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  4093 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  4094 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4095 
  4096 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4097 
  4098 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  4099 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4100 
  4101 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  4102 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4103 
  4104 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  4105 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  4106 for congruent(2)).
  4107 
  4108 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  4109 
  4110   types
  4111     bool ~> HOL.bool
  4112     nat ~> Nat.nat
  4113 
  4114   constants
  4115     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  4116     True ~> HOL.True
  4117     False ~> HOL.False
  4118     op & ~> HOL.conj
  4119     op | ~> HOL.disj
  4120     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  4121     op = ~> HOL.eq
  4122     Not ~> HOL.Not
  4123     The ~> HOL.The
  4124     All ~> HOL.All
  4125     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  4126     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  4127     Let ~> HOL.Let
  4128     If ~> HOL.If
  4129     Ball ~> Set.Ball

  4132     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  4133     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  4134     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  4135     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  4136     op : ~> Set.member
  4137     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  4138 
  4139 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4140 
  4141 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:

  4152 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4153 
  4154 * More stylized fact names:
  4155 
  4156   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  4157   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  4158   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  4159   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  4160 
  4161 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4162 
  4163 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  4164 
  4165   constants
  4166     null ~> List.null
  4167 
  4168   facts
  4169     mem_iff ~> member_def
  4170     null_empty ~> null_def
  4171 
  4172 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  4173 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  4174 generation.
  4175 
  4176 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  4177 Haskell code.
  4178 
  4179 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  4180 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  4181 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4182 
  4183 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  4184 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4185 
  4186 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4187 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4188 
  4189 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4190 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4191 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4192 
  4193 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4194 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4195 
  4196 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4197 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4198 
  4199 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4200 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4201 referred to by its qualified name.
  4202 
  4203   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4204   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4205   product ~>  Enum.product
  4206 
  4207 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4208 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4209 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4210 
  4211 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4212 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4213 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4214 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4215 
  4216 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4217 sort_key.
  4218 
  4219 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4220 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4221 
  4222 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4223 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4224 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4225 
  4226   types
  4227     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4228               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4229               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4230         (depends on your needs)
  4231 
  4232   constants
  4233      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4234      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4235      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4236 
  4237 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4238 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4239 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4240 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4241 
  4242 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4243 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4244 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4245 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4246 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4247 
  4248 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4249 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4250 
  4251 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4252 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4253 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4254 
  4255 
  4256 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4257 
  4258 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4259 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4260 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4261 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4262 compatibility.
  4263 
  4264 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4265 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4266 
  4267 
  4268 *** HOLCF ***
  4269 
  4270 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4271 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4272 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4273 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4274 
  4275 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4276 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4277 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4278 
  4279   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4280   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4281   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4282 
  4283 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4284 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4285 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4286 
  4287 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4288 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4289 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4290 domain definition now works:
  4291 
  4292   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4293 
  4294 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4295 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4296 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4297 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4298 
  4299   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4300     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4301 
  4302   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4303 
  4304 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4305 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4306 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4307 
  4308 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4309 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4310 
  4311 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4312 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4313 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4314 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4315 
  4316 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4317 
  4318 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4319 
  4320 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4321 
  4322 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4323 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4324 
  4325 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4326 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4327 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4328 
  4329 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4330 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4331 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4332 
  4333 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4334 still supported as an input translation.
  4335 
  4336 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4337 
  4338   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4339   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4340   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4341   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4342   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4343   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4344   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4345 
  4346 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4347 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4348 
  4349   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4350   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4351   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4352   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4353   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4354   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4355 
  4356 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4357 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4358 
  4359 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4360 
  4361   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4362   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4363   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4364   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4365 
  4366 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4367 
  4368 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  4369 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4370 
  4371 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  4372 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4442 
  4443 
  4444 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4445 
  4446 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4447 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4448 
  4449 
  4450 *** ML ***
  4451 
  4452 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4453 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4454 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4455 
  4456 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4457 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4458 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4459 
  4460 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4461 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4462 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4463 
  4464 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4465 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4466 
  4467 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4468 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4469 
  4470 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4471 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4472 
  4473 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4474 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4475 
  4476 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4477 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4478 almost all situations.
  4479 
  4480 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4481 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4482 Isabelle/ML.
  4483 
  4484 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4485 meaning.
  4486 
  4487 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4488 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4489 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4490 
  4491 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4492 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4493 
  4494 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4495 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4496 
  4497 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4498 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4499 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4500 
  4501 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4502 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4503 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4504 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4505 configuration options.
  4506 
  4507 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4508 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4509 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4510 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4511 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4512 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4513 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  4516 
  4517 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4518 ---------------------------------
  4519 
  4520 *** General ***
  4521 
  4522 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4523 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4524 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4525 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4526 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4527 their full internal name.
  4528 
  4529 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4530 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4531 Some hints on upgrading:
  4532 
  4533   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4534     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4535     which are independent of this issue.
  4536 
  4537   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4538     provides the following special forms:
  4539 
  4540       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4541       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4542       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4543 
  4544     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4545     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4546     extra variables".
  4547 
  4548     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4549     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4550     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4551     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4552     "logic".
  4553 
  4554   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4555     antiquotations:
  4556 
  4557       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4558       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4559       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4560       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4561 
  4562   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4563     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4564     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4565     antiquotations.
  4566 
  4567 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4568 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4569 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4570 diagnose syntax problems.
  4571 
  4572 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4573 
  4574 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4575 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4576 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4577 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4578 
  4579 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4580 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4581 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4582 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4583 
  4584 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4585 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4586 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4587 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4588 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4589 
  4590 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4591 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4592 
  4593 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4594 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4595 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4596 
  4597   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4598 
  4599 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4600 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4601 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4602 
  4603 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4604 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4605 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4606 
  4607 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4608 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4609 
  4610 
  4611 *** Pure ***
  4612 
  4613 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4614 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4615 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4616 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4617 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4618 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4619 inspect proof terms.
  4620 
  4621 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4622 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4623 are added internally.  For example:
  4624 
  4625   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4626 
  4627 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4628 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4629 
  4630 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4631 
  4632 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4633 'class' instead.
  4634 
  4635 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4636 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4637 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4638 
  4639 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4640 invariants.
  4641 
  4642 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4643 user space functionality any longer.
  4644 
  4645 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4646 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4647 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4648 
  4649 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4650 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4651 
  4652 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4653 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4654 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4655 
  4656 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4657 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4658 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4659 
  4660 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4661 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4662 
  4663 
  4664 *** HOL ***
  4665 
  4666 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4667 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4668 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4669 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4670 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4671 
  4672 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4673 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4674 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4675 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4676 
  4677   fun
  4678     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4679   where
  4680     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4681 
  4682   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4683     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4684 
  4685   quotient_definition
  4686     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4687 
  4688 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4689 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4690 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4691 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4692 
  4693 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4694 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4695 
  4696 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4697 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4698 
  4699 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4700 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4701 
  4702 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4703 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4704 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4705 
  4706 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4707 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4708 
  4709 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4710 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4711 
  4712 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4714 
  4715 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4716 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4717 
  4718 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4719 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4720 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4752 
  4753 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  4754 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  4755 
  4756 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  4757 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  4758 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  4759 
  4760 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  4761 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  4762 
  4763 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  4764 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4765 
  4766 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  4767 
  4768 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  4769 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4770 
  4771 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  4772 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4773 
  4774 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4775 
  4776 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4777 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4778 
  4779 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4780 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4781 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4782 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4783 
  4784 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4785   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4786   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4787   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4788 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4789 
  4790 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4791 lattices):
  4792 
  4793     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4829     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4830 
  4831   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4832   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4833 
  4834     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4835     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4836     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4837     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4838     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4839 
  4840 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4841 
  4842 * Refined field classes:
  4843   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4844     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4845     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4846   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4847 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4848 
  4849 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4850   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4851   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4852   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4853     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4854   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4855     equal_neg_zero.
  4856 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4857 
  4858 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4859 sets to lattices:
  4860 
  4861   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4862   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup

  4870   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4871 
  4872 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4873 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4874 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4875 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4876 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4877 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4878 
  4879 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4880 multiset order:
  4881 
  4882   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4883     <= and <;
  4884   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4885     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4886     multiset_order;
  4887   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4888     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4889     generation;
  4890   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4891     if needed.
  4892 
  4893 Renamed:
  4894 
  4895   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4896   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4897   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4898 
  4899 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4900 
  4901 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4902 
  4903 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4904 
  4905 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4906 
  4907 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4908 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4909 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4939   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4940 
  4941 * Sledgehammer:
  4942   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4943     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4944     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4945     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4946     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4947     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4948     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4949   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4950   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4951     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4952   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4953     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4954     is still experimental.)
  4955   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4956     full-typed mode.
  4957   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4958 
  4959 * Nitpick:
  4960   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4961   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4962   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4963     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4964   - Added support for quotient types.
  4965   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4966     constructs.
  4967   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4968     "termination" proofs).
  4969   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4970   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4971   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4972   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4973     record getters.
  4974   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4975   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4976   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4977   - Added "atoms" option.
  4978   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4979     problems.
  4980   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4981     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4982     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4983   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4984     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4985   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4986 
  4987 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4988   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4989   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4990   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4991   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4992   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4993   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4994   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4995   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4996   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4997 
  4998 
  4999 *** HOLCF ***
  5000 
  5001 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  5002 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  5003 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5004 
  5005 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  5006 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  5007 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  5008 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5009 
  5010 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  5011 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  5012 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  5013 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  5014 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5015 
  5016 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  5017 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  5018 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5019 
  5020 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  5021 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5022 
  5023   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  5024   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  5025 
  5026 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  5027 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5028 
  5029   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  5030   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  5031   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  5032   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  5033   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  5034 
  5035 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  5036 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5037 
  5038   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  5039   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  5040   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  5041 
  5042 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  5043 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  5044 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5045 
  5046 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  5047 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5048 
  5049 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5050 
  5051 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  5052 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5053 
  5054 
  5055 *** ML ***
  5056 
  5057 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  5058 
  5059     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  5060     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  5061 
  5062     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  5063     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  5064     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  5065     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5066 
  5067     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  5068     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  5069     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  5070 
  5071 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  5072 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  5073 
  5074 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  5075 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  5076 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  5077 
  5078 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  5079 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  5080 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  5081 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  5082 
  5083 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  5084 the context or even global references.
  5085 
  5086 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  5087 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  5088 
  5089 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  5090 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  5091 
  5092   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  5093   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  5094   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  5095   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  5096   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  5097   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  5098   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  5099   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  5100   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  5101   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  5102 
  5103 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  5104 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  5105 
  5106 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  5107 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  5108 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  5109 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  5110 pass the proper local context through the code!
  5111 
  5112 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  5113 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  5114 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  5115 Theory_Data version.
  5116 
  5117 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  5118 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  5119 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  5120 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  5121 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  5122 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  5123 explicitly in rare situations.
  5124 
  5125 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  5126 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  5127 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5128 
  5129 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  5130 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5131 
  5132 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  5133 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  5134 quite rare).
  5135 
  5136 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  5137 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5138 
  5139 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  5140 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  5141 terms.
  5142 
  5143 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  5144 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  5145 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  5146 
  5147 
  5148 *** System ***
  5149 
  5150 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  5151 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  5152 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  5153 
  5154 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  5155 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  5156 respectively.
  5157 
  5158 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  5159 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  5160 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  5161 prefers 64 bit if available:
  5162 
  5163   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  5164 
  5165 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  5166 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  5167 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  5168 component.
  5169 
  5170 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  5171 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  5172 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  5173 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  5174 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  5175 the user for manual installation.
  5176 
  5177 
  5178 
  5179 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  5180 -------------------------------------
  5181 
  5182 *** General ***
  5183 
  5184 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  5185 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5186 
  5187 
  5188 *** Pure ***
  5189 
  5190 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5191 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5192 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5193 
  5194 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5195 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5196 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5197 
  5198 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5199 interpretation.
  5200 
  5201 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5202 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5203 
  5204 
  5205 *** Document preparation ***
  5206 
  5207 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5208 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5209 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5210 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5211 
  5212 
  5213 *** HOL ***
  5214 
  5215 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5216 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5217 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5218 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5219 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5220 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5221 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5222 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5223 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5224 
  5225 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5226 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5227 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5228 
  5229 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5230 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5231 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5232 
  5233 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5234 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5235 
  5236 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5237 
  5238 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5239 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5240 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5241 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5242 
  5243 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5244 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5245 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5246 "mirabelle" utility.
  5247 
  5248 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5249 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5250 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5251 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5252 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5253 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5254 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5255 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5256 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5257 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5258 
  5259 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5260 procedure only.
  5261 
  5262 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5263 
  5264 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5265 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5266 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5267 that fail later.
  5268 
  5269 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5270 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5271 
  5272 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5273 the same method as the approximation method.
  5274 
  5275 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5276 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5277 series expansion.
  5278 
  5279 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5280 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5281 
  5282 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5283 reals.
  5284 
  5285 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5286 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5287 
  5288 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5289 fixpoint theorem.
  5290 
  5291 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5292   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5293     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5294   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5295     accordingly
  5296   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5297     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5298   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5299     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5300 
  5301 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5302 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5303 lattice.
  5304 
  5305 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5306 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5307 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5308 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5309 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5310 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5311 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5312 
  5313 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5314   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5315     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5316   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5317     le_inf_iff
  5318   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5319     sup_aci)
  5320   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5321   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5322   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5323     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5324     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5325     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5326     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5327     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5328     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5329     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5330     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5331     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5332     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5333   - authentic syntax for
  5334     Set.Pow
  5335     Set.image
  5336   - mere abbreviations:
  5337     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5338     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5339     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5340     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5341     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5342     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5343     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5344     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5345   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5346 
  5347 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5348 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5349 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5350 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5351 
  5352 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5353 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5354 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5355 
  5356 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5357 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5358 
  5359 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5360 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5361 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5362 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5363 
  5364 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5365 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5366 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5367 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5368 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5369 
  5370 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5371 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5372 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5373 
  5374 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5375 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5376 
  5377 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5378 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5379 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5380 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5381 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5382 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5383 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5384 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5385 
  5386 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5387     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5388     code_post       replaces    code post
  5389     etc.
  5390   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5391 
  5392 * Renamed methods:
  5393     sizechange -> size_change
  5394     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5395   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5396 
  5397 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5398 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5399 
  5400 * Renamed theorems:
  5401     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5402     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5403     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5404     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5405     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5406   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5407 
  5408 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5409 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5410 
  5411 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5412 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5413 
  5414 
  5415 *** HOLCF ***
  5416 
  5417 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5418 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5419 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5420 
  5421 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5422 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5423 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5424 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5425 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5426 
  5427 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5428 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5429 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5430 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5431 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5432 
  5433 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5434 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5435 constructor are pre-configured.
  5436 
  5437 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5438 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5439 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5440 
  5441 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5442 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5443 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5444 as well.)
  5445 
  5446 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5447 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5448 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5449 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5450 examples.
  5451 
  5452 
  5453 *** ML ***
  5454 
  5455 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5456 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5457 
  5458 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5459 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5460 position, logical grouping etc.
  5461 
  5462 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5463 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5464 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5465 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5466 
  5467 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5468 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5469 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5470 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5471 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5472 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5473 
  5474 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5475 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5476 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5477 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5478 experiments with references.
  5479 
  5480 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5481 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5482 
  5483 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5484 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5485 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5486 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5487 
  5488 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5489 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5490 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5491 
  5492 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5493 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5494 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5495 
  5496 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5497 
  5498 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5499 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5500 
  5501 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5502 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5503 
  5504 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5505 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5506 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5507 
  5508 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5509 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5510 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5511 
  5512 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5513 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5514 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5515 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5516 
  5517 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5518 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5519 instead of global theory.
  5520 
  5521 
  5522 *** System ***
  5523 
  5524 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5525 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5526 usedir option -q.
  5527 
  5528 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5529 also the system manual.
  5530 
  5531 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5532 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5533 
  5534 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5535 this is always enabled.
  5536 
  5537 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5538 
  5539 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5540 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5541 currently supported on Linux only.
  5542 
  5543 
  5544 
  5545 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5546 --------------------------------
  5547 
  5548 *** General ***
  5549 
  5550 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5551 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5552 
  5553   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5554     "isatool."
  5555 
  5556   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5557     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5558 
  5559   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5560     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5561 
  5562 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5563 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5564 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5565 
  5566 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5567 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5568 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5569 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5570 via "isabelle emacs".
  5571 
  5572 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5573 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5574 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5575 
  5576 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5577 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5578 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5579 
  5580 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5581 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5582 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5583 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5584 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5585 
  5586 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5587 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5588 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5589 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5590 
  5591 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5592 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5593 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5594 
  5595 
  5596 *** Pure ***
  5597 
  5598 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5599 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5600 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5601 
  5602 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5603 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5604 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5605 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5606 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5607 
  5608 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5609 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5610 useful in locale declarations.
  5611 
  5612 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5613 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5614 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5615 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5616 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5617 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5618 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5619 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5620 no longer generated.
  5621 
  5622 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5623 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5624 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5625 
  5626 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5627 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5628 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5629 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5630 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5631 
  5632 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5633 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5634 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5635 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5636 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5637 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5638 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5639 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5640 
  5641 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5642 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5643 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5644 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5645 
  5646 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5647 
  5648 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5649 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5650 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5651 
  5652 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5653 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5654 
  5655 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5656 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5657 in HOL, write
  5658 
  5659     class foo = ...
  5660 
  5661 instead of
  5662 
  5663     class foo = type + ...
  5664 
  5665 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5666 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5667 
  5668 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5669 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5670 
  5671 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5672 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5673 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5674 
  5675 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5676 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5677 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5678 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5679 directly in regular applications.
  5680 
  5681 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5682 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5683 
  5684 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5685 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5686 
  5687 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5688 theory context.
  5689 
  5690 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5691 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5692 
  5693 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5694 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5695 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5696 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5697 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5698 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5699 
  5700   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5701 
  5702 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5703 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5704 normalization.
  5705 
  5706 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5707 addressing etc.
  5708 
  5709 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5710 
  5711   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5712   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5713 
  5714 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5715 
  5716   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5717      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5718      parts of the code generator framework).
  5719 
  5720   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5721      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5722      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5723 
  5724 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5725 
  5726 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5727 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5728 
  5729 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5730 patterns, e.g.
  5731 
  5732     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5733 
  5734 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5735 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5736 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5737 hyphen:
  5738 
  5739     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5740 
  5741 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5742 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5743 
  5744 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5745 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5746 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5747 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5748 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5749 higher-order unification.
  5750 
  5751 
  5752 *** Document preparation ***
  5753 
  5754 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5755 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5756 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5757 
  5758 
  5759 *** HOL ***
  5760 
  5761 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5762 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5763 
  5764 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5765 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5766 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5767 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5768 Main, as before.
  5769 
  5770 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5771 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5772 
  5773 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5774 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5775 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5776 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5777 
  5778 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5779 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5780 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5781 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5782 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5783 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5784 
  5785 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5786 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5787 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5788 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5789 
  5790 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5791 menu.
  5792 
  5793 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5794 (contains the empty clause).
  5795 
  5796 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5797 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5798 
  5799 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5800 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5801 
  5802 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5803 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5804 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5805 
  5806 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5807 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5808 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5809 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5810 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5811 
  5812 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5813 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5814 
  5815 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5816 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5817 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5818 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5819 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5820 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5821 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5822 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5823 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5824 
  5825 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5826 
  5827 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5828 
  5829 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5830 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5831 
  5832 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5833 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5834 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5835 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5836 
  5837 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5838 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5839 
  5840     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5841     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5842     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5843     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5844     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5845     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5846     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5847     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5848 
  5849 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5850 theory Set.
  5851 
  5852 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5853 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5854 
  5855 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5856 
  5857 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5858 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5859 
  5860 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5861 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5862 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5863 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5864 allowed. For examples see
  5865 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5866 
  5867 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5868 
  5869 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5870 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5871 
  5872 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5873 structure:

  5926 
  5927 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5928 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5929 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5930 
  5931 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5932 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5933 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5934 
  5935 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5936 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5937 
  5938 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5939 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5940 
  5941 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5942 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5943 proofs, e.g.
  5944 
  5945   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5946 
  5947 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5948 
  5949 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5950 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5951 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5952 
  5953 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5954 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5955 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5956 
  5957 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5958 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5959 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5960 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5961 
  5962 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5963 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5964 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5965 preorder_class.*.
  5966 
  5967 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5968 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5969 
  5970 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5971 
  5972   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5973 
  5974 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5975 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5976 fold_image.
  5977 
  5978 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5979 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5980 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5981 the former will disappear at some point.
  5982 
  5983 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5984 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5985 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5986 
  5987 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5988 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5989 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5990 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5991 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5992 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5993 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5994 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5995 
  5996 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5997 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5998 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5999 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  6000 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  6001 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  6002 
  6003     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  6004     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  6005     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  6006     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  6007     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  6008     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  6009     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  6010 
  6011 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  6012 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6013 rename old lemmas as follows:
  6014 
  6015 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  6016 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  6020 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  6021 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  6022 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  6023 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  6024 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  6025 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  6026 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  6027 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  6028 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  6029 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  6030 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  6031 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  6032 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  6033 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  6034 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  6035 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  6036 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  6037 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  6038 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  6039 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel

  6050 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  6051 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  6052 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  6053 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  6054 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  6055 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  6056 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  6057 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  6058 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  6059 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  6060 
  6061 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6062 
  6063 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  6064 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  6065 
  6066 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  6067 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  6068 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  6069 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  6070 
  6071 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  6072 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  6073 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  6074 theory RealVector.
  6075 
  6076 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  6077 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  6078 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  6079 and inner products are included.
  6080 
  6081 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  6082 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  6083 supported.
  6084 
  6085 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  6086 first diagonalization argument.
  6087 
  6088 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  6089 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  6090 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  6091 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6092 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  6093 
  6094     hide (open) const gcd
  6095     abbreviation gcd where
  6096       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  6097     notation (output)
  6098       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  6099 
  6100 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  6101 
  6102 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  6103 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  6104 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6105 
  6106 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  6107 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  6108 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  6109 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  6110 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  6111 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  6112 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  6113 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  6114 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  6115 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  6116 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  6117 cases.
  6118 
  6119 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  6120 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  6121 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  6122 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  6123 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  6124 
  6125     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  6126     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  6127     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  6128     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  6129     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  6130 
  6131 
  6132 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6133 
  6134 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  6135 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  6136 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  6137 
  6138 * New theory of factorial domains.
  6139 
  6140 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  6141 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  6142 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  6143 
  6144 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6145 
  6146 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  6147 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  6148 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  6149 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  6150 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  6151 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  6152 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  6153 
  6154 
  6155 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6156 
  6157 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  6158 
  6159 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  6160 theory targets.
  6161 
  6162 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  6163 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  6164 'inductive' etc.
  6165 
  6166 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  6167 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  6168 
  6169 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  6170 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  6171 
  6172 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  6173 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  6174 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  6175 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  6176 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  6177 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  6178 the algorithm W:
  6179 
  6180  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  6181  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  6182          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  6183 
  6184 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  6185 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6186 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6187 
  6188 
  6189 *** HOLCF ***
  6190 
  6191 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6192 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6193 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6194 
  6195 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6196 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6197 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6198 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6199 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6200 
  6201 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6202 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6203 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6204 
  6205 
  6206 *** ZF ***
  6207 
  6208 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6209 
  6210 
  6211 *** ML ***
  6212 
  6213 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6214 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6215 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6216 5.2.1!
  6217 
  6218 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6219 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6220 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6221 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6222 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6223 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6224 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6225 
  6226 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6227 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6228 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6229 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6230 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6231 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6232 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6233 
  6234 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6235 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6236 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6237 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6238 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6239 
  6240 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6241 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6242 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6243 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6244 Method.add_method.
  6245 
  6246 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6247 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6248 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6249 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6250 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6251 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6252 
  6253 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6254 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6255 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6256 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6257 examples.
  6258 
  6259 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6260 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6261 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6262 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6263 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6264 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6265 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6266 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6267 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6268 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6269 
  6270 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6271 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6272 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6273 
  6274 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6275 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6276 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6277 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6278 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6279 resort for legacy applications.
  6280 
  6281 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6282 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6283 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6284 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6285 explicit runtime argument.
  6286 
  6287 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6288 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6289 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6290 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6291 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6292 
  6293 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6294 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6295 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6296 theory state.
  6297 
  6298 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6299 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6300 
  6301   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6302   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6303   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6304   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6305   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6306   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6307   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6308   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6309   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6310   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6311 
  6312 
  6313 *** System ***
  6314 
  6315 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6316 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6317 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6318 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6319 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6320 
  6321 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6322 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6323 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6324 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6325 
  6326 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6327 
  6328 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6329 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6330 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6331 prover operations.
  6332 
  6333 
  6334 
  6335 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6336 -------------------------------
  6337 
  6338 *** General ***
  6339 
  6340 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6341 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6342 
  6343 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6344 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6345 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6346 provides a proper context already.
  6347 
  6348 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6349 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6350 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6351 
  6352 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6353 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6354 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6355 swap theory imports.
  6356 
  6357 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6358 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6359 
  6360 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6361 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6362 white space without escapes.
  6363 
  6364 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6365 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6366 "foo_bar".
  6367 
  6368 
  6369 *** Pure ***
  6370 
  6371 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6372 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6373 
  6374 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6375 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6376 
  6377 (1) unused_thms
  6378      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6379 
  6380 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6381      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6382      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6383 
  6384 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6385      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6386      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6387      their ancestors.
  6388 
  6389 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6390 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6391 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6392 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6393 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6394 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6395 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6396 
  6397 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6398 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6399 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6400 
  6401 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6402 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6403 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6404 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6405 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6406 
  6407 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6408 
  6409 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6410 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6411 update of theories within ML code.
  6412 
  6413 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6414 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6415 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6416 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6417 
  6418 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6419 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6420 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6421 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6422 
  6423 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6424 
  6425 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6426 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6427 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6428 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6429 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6430 
  6431 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6432 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6433 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6434 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6435 situations.
  6436 
  6437 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6438 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6439 proof text.
  6440 
  6441 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6442 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6443 
  6444 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6445 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6446 predicates.
  6447 
  6448 
  6449 *** Document preparation ***
  6450 
  6451 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6452 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6453 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6454 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6455 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6456 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6457 
  6458 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6459 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6460 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6461 
  6462 
  6463 *** HOL ***
  6464 
  6465 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6466 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6467 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6468 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6469 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6470 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6471 
  6472 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6473 with multithreading.
  6474 
  6475 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6476 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6477 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6478 
  6479 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6480 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6481 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6482 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6483 
  6484 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6485 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6486 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6487 and makes them available separately.  See
  6488 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6489 
  6490 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6491 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6492 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6493 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6494 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6495 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6496 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6497 the declared rules.
  6498 
  6499 This setup also deals with rules like
  6500 
  6501   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6502 
  6503 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6504 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6505 
  6506 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6507 
  6508   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6509 
  6510   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6511     definitions on => and bool.
  6512 
  6513   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6514     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6515     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6516 
  6517       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6518       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6519       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6520       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6521       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6522       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6523       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6524       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6525 
  6526   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6527     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6528     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6529 
  6530   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6531     The proof pattern
  6532 
  6533       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6534       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6535 
  6536     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6537     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6538 
  6539       have "EX S. P S"
  6540       proof
  6541         show "P S" <...>
  6542       qed
  6543 
  6544   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6545     The proof pattern
  6546 
  6547       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6548       also have "S = T" <...>
  6549       finally have "P T" .
  6550 
  6551     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6552     must be replaced by something like
  6553 
  6554       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6555       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6556       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6557 
  6558   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6559     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6560 
  6561       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6562 
  6563     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6564     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6565     type of the form
  6566 
  6567       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6568 
  6569     rather than
  6570 
  6571       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6572 
  6573 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6574 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6575 
  6576 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6577 
  6578 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6579 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6580 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6581 
  6582 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6583 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6584 
  6585 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6586 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6587 
  6588 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6589 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6590 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6591 
  6592 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6593 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6594 
  6595   less_trans
  6596   less_linear
  6597   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6598   le_less_trans
  6599   less_le_trans
  6600   less_not_sym
  6601   less_asym
  6602 
  6603 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6604 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6605 and different variable names.
  6606 
  6607 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6608 
  6609 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6610 finite maps.
  6611 
  6612 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6613 
  6614 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6615 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6616 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6617 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6618 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6619 accordingly.
  6620 
  6621 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6622 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6623 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6624 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6625 
  6626 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6627 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6628 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6629 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6630 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6631 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6632 
  6633 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6634 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6635 
  6636 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6637 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6638 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6639 
  6640 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6641 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6642 
  6643 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6644 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6645 
  6646 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6647 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6648 
  6649 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6650 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6651 
  6652 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6653 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6654 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6655 
  6656 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6657 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6658 
  6659 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6660 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6661 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6662 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6663 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6664 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6665 
  6666 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6667 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6668 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6669 
  6670 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6671 
  6672 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6673 
  6674 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6675 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6676 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6677 
  6678 
  6679 *** ZF ***
  6680 
  6681 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6682 same session:
  6683 
  6684   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6685   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6686   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6687   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6688   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6689   List      -> List_ZF
  6690   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6691 
  6692 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6693 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6694 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6695 
  6696 
  6697 *** ML ***
  6698 
  6699 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6700 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6701 
  6702 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6703 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6704 
  6705 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6706 
  6707 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6708 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6709 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6710 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6711 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6712 
  6713 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6714 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6715 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6716 
  6717 
  6718 *** System ***
  6719 
  6720 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6721 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6722 
  6723 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6724 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6725 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6726 
  6727 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6728 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6729 
  6730 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6731 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6732 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6733 
  6734 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6735 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6736 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6737 
  6738 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6739 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6740 
  6741 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6742 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6743 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6744 script.
  6745 
  6746 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6747 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6748 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6749 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6750 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6751 
  6752 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6753 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6754 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6755 
  6756 
  6757 
  6758 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6759 -----------------------------------
  6760 
  6761 *** General ***
  6762 
  6763 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6764 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6765 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6766 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6767 
  6768 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6769 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6770 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6771 
  6772 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6773 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6774 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6775 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6776 
  6777 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6778 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6779 quotes.
  6780 
  6781 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6782 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6783 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6784 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6785 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6786 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6787 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6788 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6789 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6790 
  6791 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6792 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6793 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6794 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6795 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6796 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6797 
  6798 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6799 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6800 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6801 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6802 
  6803 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6804 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6805 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6806 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6807 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6808 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6809 
  6810 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6811 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6812 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6813 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6814 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6815 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6816 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6817 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6818 
  6819 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6820 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6821 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6822 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6823 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6824 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6825 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6826 
  6827 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6828 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6829 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6830 
  6831 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6832 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6833 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6834 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6835 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6836 limit is imposed.
  6837 
  6838 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6839 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6840 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6841 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6842 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6843 and scalability.
  6844 
  6845 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6846 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6847 
  6848 
  6849 *** Document preparation ***
  6850 
  6851 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6852 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6853 current context.
  6854 
  6855 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6856 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6857 
  6858 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6859 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6860 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  6861 
  6862 
  6863 *** Pure ***
  6864 
  6865 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6866 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6867 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6868 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6869 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6870 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6871 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6872 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6873 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6874 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6875 
  6876 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6877 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6878 sketch:
  6879 
  6880     internal compilation:
  6881         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6882     writing SML code to a file:
  6883         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6884     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6885         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6886     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6887         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6888 
  6889     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6890         method ``eval''
  6891 
  6892 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6893 
  6894 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6895 
  6896     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6897     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6898     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6899     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6900 
  6901 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6902 
  6903     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6904       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6905 
  6906     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6907       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6908 
  6909     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6910       {(target)}+
  6911         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6912 
  6913     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6914       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6915         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6916 
  6917 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6918 
  6919 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6920 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6921 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6922 codegen".
  6923 
  6924 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6925 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6926 annotations).
  6927 
  6928 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6929 syntax.
  6930 
  6931 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6932 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6933 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6934 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6935 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6936 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6937 
  6938 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6939 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6940 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6941 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6942 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6943 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6944 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6945 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6946 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6947 equations, see section "definitions".
  6948 
  6949 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6950 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6951 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6952 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6953 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6954 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6955 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6956 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6957 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6958 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6959 
  6960 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6961 configuration options:
  6962 
  6963   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6964   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6965   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6966   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6967   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6968   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6969   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6970   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6971   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6972 
  6973 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6974 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6975 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6976 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6977 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6978 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6979 order.
  6980 
  6981 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6982 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6983 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6984 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6985 context encountered later on.
  6986 
  6987 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6988 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6989 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6990 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6991 
  6992 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6993 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6994 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6995 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6996 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6997 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6998 
  6999 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  7000 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  7001 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  7002 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  7003 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  7004 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  7005 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  7006 more permissive.
  7007 
  7008 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  7009 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  7010 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  7011 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  7012 maintainability of proof texts.
  7013 
  7014 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  7015 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  7016 
  7017   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  7018   then guess x and y by clarify
  7019 
  7020 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  7021 proof tools being involved here.
  7022 
  7023 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  7024 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  7025 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  7026 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  7027 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  7028 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  7029 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  7030 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  7031 
  7032 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  7033 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  7034 certain special cases of literal facts:
  7035 
  7036   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  7037   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  7038   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  7039   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  7040 
  7041 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  7042 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  7043 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  7044 
  7045 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  7046 both named and unnamed ones.
  7047 
  7048 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  7049 
  7050   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  7051 
  7052 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  7053 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  7054 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  7055 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  7056 
  7057 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  7058 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  7059 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  7060 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  7061 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  7062 
  7063 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  7064 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  7065 
  7066 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  7067 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  7068 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  7069 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  7070 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  7071 originally first one.
  7072 
  7073 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  7074 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  7075 expected.
  7076 
  7077 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  7078 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  7079 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  7080 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  7081 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  7082 
  7083   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7084     assumes "EX x. P x"
  7085     obtains x where "P x"
  7086 
  7087   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7088     assumes "A & B"
  7089     obtains A and B
  7090 
  7091   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7092     assumes "A | B"
  7093     obtains
  7094       A
  7095     | B
  7096 
  7097 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  7098 explicitly:
  7099 
  7100   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7101     obtains "~ thesis"
  7102 
  7103   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  7104     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  7105 
  7106 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  7107 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  7108 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  7109 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  7110 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  7111 case_names).
  7112 
  7113 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  7114 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  7115 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  7116 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  7117 
  7118 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  7119 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  7120 top-level lemma.
  7121 
  7122 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  7123 introduction rule (default "that").
  7124 
  7125 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  7126 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  7127 to occur.
  7128 
  7129 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  7130 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  7131 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  7132 representations independently of name spaces.
  7133 
  7134 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  7135 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  7136 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7137 
  7138 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  7139 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  7140 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  7141 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  7142 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  7143 current context.
  7144 
  7145 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  7146 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  7147 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  7148 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  7149 
  7150   axiomatization
  7151     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  7152     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  7153 
  7154   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  7155   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  7156 
  7157   abbreviation
  7158     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  7159     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  7160 
  7161 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  7162 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  7163 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  7164 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  7165 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  7166 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  7167 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  7168 
  7169 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  7170 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  7171 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  7172 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  7173 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  7174 
  7175 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  7176 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  7177 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  7178 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  7179 
  7180 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  7181 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  7182 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  7183 
  7184   definition "K x _ = x"
  7185 
  7186   inductive conj for A B
  7187   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7188 
  7189 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7190 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7191 abbreviations on output.
  7192 
  7193 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7194 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7195 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7196 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7197 
  7198 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7199 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7200 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7201 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7202 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7203 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7204 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7205 
  7206 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7207 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7208 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7209 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7210 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7211 
  7212 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7213 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7214 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7215 
  7216 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7217 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7218 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7219 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7220 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7221 
  7222   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7223     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7224 
  7225 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7226 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7227 partial_order.
  7228 
  7229 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7230 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7231 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7232 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7233 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7234 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7235 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7236 examples.
  7237 
  7238 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7239 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7240 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7241 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7242 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7243 
  7244 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7245 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7246 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7247 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7248 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7249 
  7250   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7251   (induct set: foo bar)
  7252   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7253   (induct type: foo bar)
  7254 
  7255 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7256 new format.
  7257 
  7258 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7259 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7260 
  7261 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7262 considered a legacy feature.
  7263 
  7264 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7265 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7266 
  7267 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7268 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7269 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7270 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7271 
  7272 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7273 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7274 manipulating the claset.
  7275 
  7276 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7277 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7278 least one premise.
  7279 
  7280 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7281 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7282 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7283 rule steps.
  7284 
  7285 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7286 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7287 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7288 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7289 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7290 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7291 
  7292 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7293 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7294 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7295 
  7296 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7297 the graph browser tool.
  7298 
  7299 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7300 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7301 
  7302 
  7303 *** HOL ***
  7304 
  7305 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7306 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7307 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7308 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7309 multi-threading.
  7310 
  7311 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7312 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7313 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7314 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7315 work with multi-threading.
  7316 
  7317 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7318 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7319 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7320 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7321 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7322 
  7323 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7324 
  7325 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7326 equality.
  7327 
  7328 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7329 the new 'class' package:
  7330 
  7331     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7332     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7333     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7334     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7335     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7336     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7337     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7338     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7339     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7340     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7341     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7342     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7343     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7344     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7345     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7346     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7347     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7348     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7349     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7350     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7351 
  7352 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7353 
  7354 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7355 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7356 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7357 names.
  7358 
  7359 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7360 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7361 
  7362 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7363 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7364 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7365 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7366 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7367 
  7368 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7369 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7370 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7371 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7372 
  7373 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7374 
  7375 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7376 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7377 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7378 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7379 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7380 
  7381 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7382 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7383 
  7384 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7385 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7386 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7387 
  7388 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7389 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7390 
  7391 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7392 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7393 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7394 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7395 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7396 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7397 in the current context.
  7398 
  7399 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7400 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7401 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7402 
  7403 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7404 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7405 
  7406 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7407 
  7408     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7409     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7410 
  7411     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7412       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7413     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7414     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7415 
  7416     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7417     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7418 
  7419   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:

  7521 
  7522 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7523 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7524 
  7525 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7526 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7527 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7528 "*.size".
  7529 
  7530 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7531 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7532 
  7533 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7534 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7535 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7536 
  7537 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7538 
  7539 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7540 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7541 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7542 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7543 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7544 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7545 numerals on all operations.
  7546 
  7547 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7548 
  7549 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7550 
  7551 * Code generator library theories:
  7552   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7553     languages.
  7554   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7555     languages.
  7556   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7557     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7558   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7559   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7560     denominator).
  7561   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7562     representable by rational numbers.
  7563   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7564     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7565     includes Code_Integer.
  7566   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7567     target-language built-in integers.
  7568   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7569     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7570 
  7571 * New package for inductive predicates
  7572 
  7573   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7574 
  7575     inductive
  7576       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7577       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7578     where
  7579       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7580     | ...
  7581 
  7582   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7583 
  7584     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7585 
  7586     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7587     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7588 
  7589     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7590     intros
  7591       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7592       ...
  7593 
  7594   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7595   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7596 
  7597     inductive_set
  7598       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7599       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7600     where
  7601       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7602     | ...
  7603 
  7604   or
  7605 
  7606     inductive_set
  7607       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7608       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7609       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7610     where
  7611       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7612     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7613     | ...
  7614 
  7615   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7616 
  7617   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7618   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7619 
  7620   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7621 
  7622   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7623     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7624     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7625     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7626     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7627 
  7628   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7629     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7630     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7631     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7632     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7633     statements of the form
  7634 
  7635       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7636 
  7637     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7638     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7639 
  7640       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7641 
  7642   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7643 
  7644       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7645         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7646         ==> ... ==> P
  7647 
  7648     for predicates and
  7649 
  7650       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7651         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7652         ==> ... ==> P
  7653 
  7654     for sets rather than
  7655 
  7656       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7657         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7658         ==> ... ==> P
  7659 
  7660     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7661     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7662     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7663 
  7664   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7665     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7666     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7667 
  7668 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7669 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7670 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7671 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7672 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7673 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7674 
  7675 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7676 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7677 
  7678 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7679 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7680 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7681 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7682 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7683 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7684 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7685 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7686 variable.
  7687 
  7688 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7689 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7690 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7691 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7692   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7693   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7694 
  7695 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7696 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7697 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7698 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7699 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7700 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7701 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7702 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7703 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7704 
  7705 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7706 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7707 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7708 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7709 rat, etc.
  7710 
  7711 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7712 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7713 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7714 
  7715 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7716 
  7717 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7718 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7719 
  7720 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7721 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7722 
  7723 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7724 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7725 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7726 
  7727 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7728 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7729 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7730 
  7731 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7732 
  7733 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7734 
  7735 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7736 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7737 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7738 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7739 
  7740 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7741 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7742 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7743 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7744 
  7745 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7746 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7747 algebraic operations.
  7748 
  7749 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7750 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7751 
  7752 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7753 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7754 
  7755 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7756 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7757 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7758 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7759 adapted.
  7760 
  7761 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7762 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7763 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7764 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7765 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7766 
  7767 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7768 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7769 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7770 
  7771 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7772 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7773 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7774 
  7775 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7776 
  7777 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7778 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7779 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7780   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7781       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7782   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7783   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7784   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7785 
  7786 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7787 
  7788 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7789 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7790 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7791 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7792 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7793 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7794 
  7795 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7796 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7797 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7798 
  7799 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7800 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7801 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7802 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7803 
  7804 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7805 
  7806 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7807 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7808 
  7809 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7810 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7811 
  7812 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7813 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7814 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7815 
  7816 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7817 True/False.
  7818 
  7819 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7820 
  7821 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7822 
  7823 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7824 ``rule'' method.
  7825 
  7826 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7827 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7828 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7829 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7830 
  7831 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7832 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7833 
  7834 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7835 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7836 
  7837 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7838 Library.
  7839 
  7840 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7841 
  7842 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7843 as greatest fixed-point.
  7844 
  7845 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7846 association lists.
  7847 
  7848 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7849 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7850 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7851 
  7852 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7853 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7854 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7855 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7856 behavior.
  7857 
  7858 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7859 
  7860 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7861 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7862 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7863 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7864 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7865 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7866 
  7867 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7868 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7869 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7870 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7871 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7872 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7873 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7874 
  7875 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7876 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7877 
  7878 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7879 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7880 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7881 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7882 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7883 
  7884 
  7885 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7886 
  7887 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7888 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7889 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7890 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7891 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7892 
  7893 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7894 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7895 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7896 
  7897 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7898 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7899 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7900 
  7901 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7902 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7903 
  7904 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7905 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7906 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7907 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7908 
  7909   Infinitesimal  :: ('a::real_normed_vector) star set

  7923   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7924 
  7925 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7926 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7927 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7928 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7929 
  7930   approx        <-- capprox
  7931   HFinite       <-- CFinite
  7932   HInfinite     <-- CInfinite

  7934   monad         <-- cmonad
  7935   galaxy        <-- cgalaxy
  7936   (NS)LIM       <-- (NS)CLIM, (NS)CRLIM
  7937   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  7938   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  7939 
  7940 
  7941 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  7942 
  7943 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  7944 
  7945 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  7946 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7947 
  7948 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  7949 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7950 
  7951 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  7952 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  7953 of algebraic structures.
  7954 
  7955 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  7956 
  7957 
  7958 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  7959 
  7960 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  7961 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  7962 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  7963 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  7964 
  7965 
  7966 *** ML ***
  7967 
  7968 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  7969 (even on SML/NJ).
  7970 
  7971 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  7972 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  7973 compile-time.  For example:
  7974 
  7975 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  7976 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  7977 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  7978 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  7979 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  7980 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  7981 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  7982 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  7983 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  7984 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  7985 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  7986 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  7987 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  7988 ML {* @{context} *}
  7989 ML {* @{theory} *}
  7990 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  7991 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  7992 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  7993 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  7994 ML {* @{claset} *}
  7995 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  7996 
  7997 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  7998 
  7999 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  8000 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  8001 
  8002 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  8003 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  8004 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  8005 
  8006 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  8007 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  8008 
  8009 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  8010 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  8011 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  8012 
  8013 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  8014 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  8015 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  8016 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  8017 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  8018 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  8019 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  8020 declarations and definitions.
  8021 
  8022 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  8023 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  8024 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  8025 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  8026 
  8027 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  8028 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  8029 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  8030 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8031 
  8032 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  8033 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  8034 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  8035 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  8036 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  8037 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  8038 
  8039 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  8040 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  8041 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  8042 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  8043 attributes, methods, etc.
  8044 
  8045 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  8046 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  8047 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  8048 fold_map combinators.
  8049 
  8050 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  8051 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  8052 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  8053 derivation.
  8054 
  8055 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  8056 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  8057 achieve the old behaviour.
  8058 
  8059 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  8060 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  8061 statements.
  8062 
  8063 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  8064 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  8065 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  8066 
  8067 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  8068 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  8069 some popular functions from term.ML:
  8070 
  8071   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  8072   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  8073   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  8074 
  8075 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  8076 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  8077 
  8078 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  8079 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  8080 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  8081 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  8082 various freeze_thaw operations.
  8083 
  8084 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  8085 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  8086 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  8087 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  8088 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  8089 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  8090 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  8091 in a locale context).
  8092 
  8093 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  8094 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  8095 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  8096 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  8097 
  8098 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  8099 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  8100 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  8101 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  8102 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  8103 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  8104 
  8105 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  8106 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  8107 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  8108 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  8109 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  8110 
  8111   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  8112 
  8113 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  8114 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  8115 this:
  8116 
  8117   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  8118 
  8119 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  8120 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  8121 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  8122 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  8123 
  8124 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  8125 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  8126 
  8127 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  8128 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  8129 
  8130 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  8131 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  8132 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  8133 batch mode.
  8134 
  8135 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  8136 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  8137 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  8138 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8139 
  8140 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  8141 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  8142 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  8143 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  8144 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  8145 
  8146 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  8147 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  8148 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  8149 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  8150 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  8151 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  8152 
  8153 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  8154 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  8155 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  8156 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8157 
  8158 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  8159 "Trueprop" etc.
  8160 
  8161 
  8162 *** System ***
  8163 
  8164 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  8165 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  8166 Isabelle installations.
  8167 
  8168 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  8169 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  8170 code.
  8171 
  8172 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  8173 
  8174 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  8175 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  8176 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  8177 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  8178 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  8179 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  8180 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  8181 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  8182 Implementation manual.
  8183 
  8184 
  8185 
  8186 New in Isabelle2005 (October 2005)
  8187 ----------------------------------
  8188 
  8189 *** General ***
  8190 
  8191 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  8192 
  8193   theory <name>
  8194   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  8195   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  8196   begin
  8197 
  8198 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  8199 
  8200   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  8201 
  8202 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  8203 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  8204 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  8205 
  8206 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  8207 relative and absolute paths.
  8208 
  8209 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  8210 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  8211 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  8212 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  8213 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  8214 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  8215 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  8216 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  8217 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  8218 
  8219   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  8220 
  8221 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  8222 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  8223 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  8224 
  8225 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  8226 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8227 
  8228 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  8229 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  8230 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  8231 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  8232 
  8233   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  8234   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  8235 
  8236 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  8237 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  8238 faster.
  8239 
  8240 
  8241 *** Document preparation ***
  8242 
  8243 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  8244 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  8245 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  8246 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  8247 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  8248 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  8249 
  8250 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  8251 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  8252 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  8253 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  8254 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  8255 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  8256 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  8257 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  8258 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  8259 \isadroptag.
  8260 
  8261 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  8262 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  8263 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  8264 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  8265 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  8266 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  8267 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  8268 specified above.
  8269 
  8270 * Several new antiquotations:
  8271 
  8272   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  8273 
  8274   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  8275 
  8276   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  8277   argument is a known logical constant;
  8278 
  8279   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  8280   theorem applying a "style" to it
  8281 
  8282   @{ML text}
  8283 
  8284 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  8285 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  8286 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  8287 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  8288 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  8289 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  8290 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  8291 
  8292 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  8293 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  8294 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  8295 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  8296 
  8297 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  8298 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  8299 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  8300 
  8301 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  8302 a proof context.
  8303 
  8304 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  8305 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  8306 
  8307 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  8308 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  8309 
  8310 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  8311 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  8312 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  8313 
  8314 
  8315 *** Pure ***
  8316 
  8317 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  8318 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  8319 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  8320 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  8321 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  8322 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  8323 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  8324 
  8325 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  8326 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  8327 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  8328 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  8329 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  8330 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  8331 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  8332 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  8333 
  8334 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  8335 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  8336 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  8337 
  8338 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  8339 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  8340 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  8341 
  8342 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  8343 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  8344 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  8345 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  8346 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8347 
  8348 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  8349 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  8350 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  8351 axclasses vs. locales.
  8352 
  8353 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  8354 instead of base 26 numbers.
  8355 
  8356 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  8357 marks in schematic variable names.
  8358 
  8359 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  8360 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  8361 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  8362 
  8363   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  8364     by simp
  8365 
  8366 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  8367 
  8368 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  8369 annotations as "(00...)".
  8370 
  8371 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  8372 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  8373 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  8374 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  8375 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  8376 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  8377 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  8378 
  8379 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  8380 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  8381 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  8382 specifications.
  8383 
  8384 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  8385 locally fixed variables as well.
  8386 
  8387 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  8388 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  8389 Limit.
  8390 
  8391 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  8392 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  8393 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  8394 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  8395 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  8396 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  8397 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  8398 
  8399 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  8400 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  8401 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  8402 
  8403 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8404 
  8405 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  8406 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  8407 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  8408 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  8409 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  8410 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  8411 
  8412 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  8413 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  8414 
  8415 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  8416 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  8417 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  8418 
  8419 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  8420 
  8421 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  8422 theory development.
  8423 
  8424 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  8425 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  8426 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  8427 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  8428 
  8429 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  8430 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  8431 quoted when used as identifier.
  8432 
  8433 
  8434 *** Locales ***
  8435 
  8436 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  8437 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  8438 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  8439 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  8440 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  8441 commands is a follows:
  8442 
  8443   (1) interpretation expr inst
  8444   (2) interpretation target < expr
  8445   (3) interpret expr inst
  8446 
  8447 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  8448 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  8449 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  8450 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  8451 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  8452 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  8453 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  8454 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  8455 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  8456 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  8457 
  8458 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  8459 'interpret' instead.
  8460 
  8461 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  8462 parameters.
  8463 
  8464 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  8465 redeclaration.
  8466 
  8467 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  8468 
  8469 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  8470 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  8471 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  8472 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  8473 to attribute arguments as expected.
  8474 
  8475 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  8476 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  8477 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  8478 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  8479 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  8480 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  8481 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  8482 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  8483 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  8484 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  8485 
  8486 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  8487 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  8488 theorem statement in rare situations.
  8489 
  8490 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  8491 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  8492 
  8493 
  8494 *** Provers ***
  8495 
  8496 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8497 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8498 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8499 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8500 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8501 
  8502 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8503 and quasi orders.
  8504 
  8505 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8506 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8507 
  8508 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8509 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8510 
  8511 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8512 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8513 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8514 
  8515 
  8516 *** HOL ***
  8517 
  8518 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8519 
  8520   syntax (epsilon)
  8521     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8522 
  8523 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8524 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8525 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8526 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8527 
  8528 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8529 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8530 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8531 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8532 
  8533 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8534 instead of ":".
  8535 
  8536 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8537 
  8538   Old       New
  8539   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8540   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8541   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8542   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8543   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8544 
  8545 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8546 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8547 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8548 
  8549   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8550   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8551 
  8552 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8553 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8554 interface.
  8555 
  8556 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8557 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8558 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8559 be a tuple pattern.
  8560 
  8561 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8562 
  8563   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8564   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8565   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8566   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8567 
  8568 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8569 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8570 
  8571 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8572 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8573 (insert F x)'.
  8574 
  8575 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8576 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8577 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8578 
  8579 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8580 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8581 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8582 
  8583 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8584 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8585 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8586 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8587 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8588 
  8589 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8590 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8591 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8592 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8593 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8594 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8595 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8596 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8597 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8598 
  8599 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8600 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8601 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8602 quite long.
  8603 
  8604 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8605 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8606 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8607 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8608 
  8609 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8610 type-variables in the term.
  8611 
  8612 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8613 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8614 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8615 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8616 goals than previously.
  8617 
  8618 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8619 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8620 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8621 just like y <= x.
  8622 
  8623 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8624 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8625 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8626 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8627 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8628 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8629 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8630 
  8631 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8632 
  8633 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8634 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8635 
  8636 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8637 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8638 inequalities.
  8639 
  8640 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8641 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8642 
  8643   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8644   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg
  8645   abs_minus_eq       now named abs_of_nonpos
  8646   imp_abs_id         now named abs_of_nonneg
  8647   imp_abs_neg_id     now named abs_of_nonpos
  8648   mult_pos           now named mult_pos_pos
  8649   mult_pos_le        now named mult_nonneg_nonneg
  8650   mult_pos_neg_le    now named mult_nonneg_nonpos
  8651   mult_pos_neg2_le   now named mult_nonneg_nonpos2
  8652   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  8653   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8654 
  8655 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8656 
  8657      zero_le_square
  8658      not_square_less_zero
  8659 
  8660   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8661 
  8662      realpow_zero_zero
  8663      realpow_two
  8664      realpow_less
  8665      zero_le_power
  8666      realpow_two_le
  8667      abs_realpow_two
  8668      realpow_two_abs
  8669 
  8670 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8671 
  8672 * Theory List:
  8673 
  8674 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8675 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8676 
  8677   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8678   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8679   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8680   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8681 
  8682 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8683 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8684 
  8685 
  8686 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8687 
  8688 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8689 integers in the reals.
  8690 
  8691 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8692 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8693 
  8694   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8695   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8696   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8697   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8698   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8699 
  8700 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8701 
  8702 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8703 
  8704 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8705 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8706 
  8707   hypreal = real star
  8708   hypnat = nat star
  8709   hcomplex = complex star
  8710 
  8711 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8712 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8713 
  8714   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  8715 
  8716   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC
  8717   *s*          <-- *sNat*, *sc*
  8718   starset_n    <-- starsetNat_n, starsetC_n
  8719   *sn*         <-- *sNatn*, *scn*
  8720   InternalSets <-- InternalNatSets, InternalCSets
  8721 
  8722   starfun      <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}
  8723   *f*          <-- *fNat*, *fNat2*, *fc*, *fRc*, *fcR*
  8724   starfun_n    <-- starfun{Nat,Nat2,C,RC,CR}_n
  8725   *fn*         <-- *fNatn*, *fNat2n*, *fcn*, *fRcn*, *fcRn*
  8726   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  8727 
  8728 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8729 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8730 
  8731   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  8732   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs
  8733   OrderedGroup.add_0 <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_zero_left
  8734   OrderedGroup.add_0_right <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_zero_right
  8735   right_minus <-- hypreal_add_minus
  8736   left_minus <-- {hypreal,hcomplex}_add_minus_left
  8737   mult_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_commute
  8738   mult_assoc <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_mult_assoc
  8739   mult_1_left <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_1, hcomplex_mult_one_left
  8740   mult_1_right <-- hcomplex_mult_one_right
  8741   mult_zero_left <-- hcomplex_mult_zero_left
  8742   left_distrib <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_mult_distrib
  8743   right_distrib <-- hypnat_add_mult_distrib2
  8744   zero_neq_one <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_zero_not_eq_one
  8745   right_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse
  8746   left_inverse <-- hypreal_mult_inverse_left, hcomplex_mult_inv_left
  8747   order_refl <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_refl
  8748   order_trans <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_trans
  8749   order_antisym <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_anti_sym
  8750   order_less_le <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_less_le
  8751   linorder_linear <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_le_linear
  8752   add_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_add_left_mono
  8753   mult_strict_left_mono <-- {hypreal,hypnat}_mult_less_mono2
  8754   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  8755 
  8756 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8757 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8758 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8759 
  8760   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  8761   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  8762   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un
  8763   STAR_Int <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Int
  8764   STAR_Compl <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Compl
  8765   STAR_subset <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_subset
  8766   STAR_mem <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_mem
  8767   STAR_mem_Compl <-- {STAR,STARC}_mem_Compl
  8768   STAR_diff <-- {STAR,STARC}_diff
  8769   STAR_star_of_image_subset <-- {STAR_hypreal_of_real, NatStar_hypreal_of_real,

  8847   star_of_eq_0 <-- hcomplex_of_complex_zero_iff
  8848 
  8849 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8850 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8851 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8852 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8853 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8854 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  8855 
  8856 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  8857 
  8858 
  8859 *** HOLCF ***
  8860 
  8861 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8862 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8863 type-inference.
  8864 
  8865 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8866 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8867 instead of exponential time).
  8868 
  8869 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8870 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8871 
  8872   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8873 
  8874 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8875 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8876 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8877 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8878 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8879 syntax and examples.
  8880 
  8881 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8882 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8883 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8884 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8885 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8886 
  8887 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8888 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8889 
  8890   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8891   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8892   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8893   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8894   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8895   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8896 
  8897 
  8898 *** ZF ***
  8899 
  8900 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8901 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8902 of a homomorphism).
  8903 
  8904 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8905 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8906 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8907 
  8908 
  8909 *** Cube ***
  8910 
  8911 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8912 theories.
  8913 
  8914 
  8915 *** ML ***
  8916 
  8917 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8918 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8919 
  8920 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8921 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8922 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8923 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8924 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8925 
  8926 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8927 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8928 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8929 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8930 
  8931 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8932 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8933 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8934 
  8935     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8936     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8937     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8938     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8939     seq fs = List.app fs
  8940     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8941     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8942 
  8943 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8944 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8945 
  8946   x |> f                f #> g
  8947   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8948 
  8949 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8950 
  8951   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8952   infix 2 ?;
  8953   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8954   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8955 
  8956 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8957 infix operators.
  8958 
  8959 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8960 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8961 example:
  8962 
  8963   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8964     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8965 
  8966   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8967     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8968 
  8969   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8970     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8971 
  8972   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8973     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8974 
  8975 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8976 available:
  8977 
  8978   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8979   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8980   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8981   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8982 
  8983 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8984 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8985 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8986 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8987 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8988 
  8989   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8990   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8991   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8992 
  8993 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8994 
  8995   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8996   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8997 
  8998 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8999 Naive rewrites:
  9000 
  9001   make_keylist = AList.make
  9002   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  9003 
  9004 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  9005   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  9006 
  9007     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  9008     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  9009 
  9010 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  9011   Naive rewrites:
  9012 
  9013     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  9014     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  9015 
  9016 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  9017 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  9018 lists.
  9019 
  9020 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  9021 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  9022 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  9023 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  9024 
  9025 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  9026 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  9027 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  9028 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  9029 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  9030 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  9031 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  9032 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  9033 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  9034 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  9035 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  9036 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  9037 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  9038 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  9039 Output.raw have no effect.
  9040 
  9041 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  9042 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  9043 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  9044 
  9045 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  9046 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  9047 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  9048 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  9049 
  9050 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  9051 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  9052 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  9053 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  9054 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  9055 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  9056 Library.sort_strings on result).
  9057 
  9058 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  9059 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  9060 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  9061 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9062 
  9063 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  9064 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  9065 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  9066 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  9067 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  9068 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  9069 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  9070 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  9071 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  9072 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  9073 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  9074 
  9075 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  9076 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  9077 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  9078 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  9079 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  9080 with earlier declarations.
  9081 
  9082 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  9083 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  9084 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9085 
  9086 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  9087 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  9088 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  9089 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  9090 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  9091 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  9092 
  9093   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  9094     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  9095 
  9096   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  9097     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  9098 
  9099   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  9100     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  9101     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  9102     Theory.merge, etc.)
  9103 
  9104 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  9105 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  9106 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  9107 
  9108 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  9109 
  9110 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  9111 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  9112 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  9113 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  9114 
  9115 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  9116 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  9117 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  9118 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  9119 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  9120 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  9121 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  9122 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  9123 
  9124 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  9125 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  9126 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9127 
  9128 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  9129 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  9130 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  9131 
  9132 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  9133 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  9134 
  9135   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9136   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  9137   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9138   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  9139 
  9140 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  9141 
  9142 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  9143 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  9144 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  9145 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  9146 (both increase the runtime).
  9147 
  9148 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  9149 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  9150 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  9151 
  9152 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  9153 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  9154 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  9155 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  9156 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  9157 for further details.
  9158 
  9159 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  9160 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  9161 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  9162 scripts for the time being.
  9163 
  9164 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  9165 generated HTML files.  For example:
  9166 
  9167   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  9168   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  9169 
  9170 
  9171 *** System ***
  9172 
  9173 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  9174 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  9175 
  9176 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  9177 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  9178 
  9179 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  9180 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  9181 
  9182 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  9183 distribution being used.
  9184 
  9185 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9186 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9187 theories.
  9188 
  9189 
  9190 
  9191 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9192 --------------------------------
  9193 
  9194 *** General ***
  9195 
  9196 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9197   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9198 
  9199 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9200   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9201   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9202   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9203   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9204   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9205   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9206   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9207   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9208   existing theory and ML files.
  9209 
  9210 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9211 
  9212 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9213   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9214   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9215   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9216 
  9217 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9218   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9219   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9220   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9221 
  9222 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9223   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9224   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9225 
  9226 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9227   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9228   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9229   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9230   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9231 
  9232 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9233   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9234 
  9235 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9236   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9237   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9238 
  9239 
  9240 *** Isar ***
  9241 
  9242 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9243   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9244   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9245     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9246     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9247     emulations.
  9248   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9249     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9250     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9251 
  9252 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9253   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9254     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9255     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9256   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9257 
  9258 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9259   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9260   and derived forms.
  9261 
  9262 * Locales:
  9263   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9264     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9265     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9266     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9267   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9268     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9269   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9270     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9271   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9272         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9273     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9274     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9275     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9276     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9277     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9278       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9279     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9280     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9281     with "locale (open)".
  9282       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9283 
  9284 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9285   (Isar) contexts.
  9286 
  9287 
  9288 *** HOL ***
  9289 
  9290 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9291   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9292   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9293   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9294   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9295 
  9296 * Simplifier:
  9297   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9298     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9299     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9300     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9301     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9302   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9303     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9304     is solved by simplification already.
  9305 
  9306 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9307     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9308 
  9309 * Numerics:
  9310   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9311     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9312   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9313     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9314   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9315     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9316     exponentiation).
  9317 
  9318 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9319 
  9320 * Records:
  9321   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9322     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9323     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9324   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9325     (not enabled by default).
  9326   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9327     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9328   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9329 
  9330 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9331   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9332   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9333 
  9334 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9335 
  9336 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9337 
  9338 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9339   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9340 
  9341 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9342   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9343 
  9344 * Unions and Intersections:
  9345   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9346   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9347   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9348   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9349 
  9350 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9351   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9352   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9353   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9354 
  9355 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9356   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9357 
  9358 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9359   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9360 
  9361 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9362   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9363   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9364 
  9365 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9366   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9367   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9368   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9369   for examples.
  9370 
  9371 
  9372 *** HOLCF ***
  9373 
  9374 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9375 
  9376 
  9377 
  9378 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9379 ------------------------------
  9380 
  9381 *** General ***
  9382 
  9383 * Provers/simplifier:
  9384 
  9385   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9386     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9387     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9388     the order of assumptions.
  9389 
  9390     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9391 
  9392     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9393        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9394 
  9395         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9396 
  9397        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9398 
  9399         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9400 
  9401        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9402        kind of problem.
  9403 
  9404     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9405        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9406        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9407        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9408        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9409        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9410        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9411 
  9412   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9413 
  9414   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9415     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9416     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9417     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9418     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9419     the simplifier would diverge.
  9420 
  9421   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9422 
  9423   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9424     congruence is ignored.
  9425 
  9426 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9427   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9428   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9429 
  9430 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9431 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9432    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9433 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9434 
  9435 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9436 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9437       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9438 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9439 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9440 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9441 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9442 
  9443 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9444 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9445 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9446 assumption failed.
  9447 
  9448 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9449 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9450 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9451 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9452 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9453 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9454 on the old view without predicates;
  9455 
  9456 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9457 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9458 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9459 
  9460 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9461 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9462 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9463 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9464 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9465 be given (the default is 40);
  9466 
  9467 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9468 (batch-mode only);
  9469 
  9470 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9471 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9472 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9473 
  9474 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9475 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9476 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9477 
  9478 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9479 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9480 
  9481 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9482 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9483 
  9484 
  9485 *** HOL ***
  9486 
  9487 * arith(_tac)
  9488 
  9489  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9490    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9491    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9492    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9493 
  9494  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9495 
  9496  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9497    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9498    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9499 
  9500 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9501 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9502 
  9503 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9504 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9505 
  9506 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9507 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9508 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9509 
  9510 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9511 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9512 
  9513 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9514 definition;
  9515 
  9516 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9517 Finite_Set);
  9518 
  9519 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9520 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9521 
  9522 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9523   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9524 
  9525 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9526 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9527 of the empty set.
  9528 
  9529 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9530 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9531 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9532 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9533 
  9534 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9535 
  9536 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9537 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9538 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9539 
  9540 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9541 
  9542 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9543 Fleuriot);
  9544 
  9545 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9546 
  9547 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9548 Gray and Kramer);
  9549 
  9550 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9551 
  9552 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9553 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9554 
  9555 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9556 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9557 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9558 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9559 assignment, exceptions.
  9560 
  9561 
  9562 *** ZF ***
  9563 
  9564 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9565 universe, etc.);
  9566 
  9567 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9568 
  9569 
  9570 *** ML ***
  9571 
  9572 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9573 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9574 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9575 
  9576 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9577 
  9578 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9579 up simprocs;
  9580 
  9581 
  9582 *** Document preparation ***
  9583 
  9584 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9585 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9586 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9587 
  9588 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9589 other packages
  9590 
  9591 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9592 broke \Rightarrow)
  9593 
  9594 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9595 textcomp package)
  9596 
  9597 
  9598 
  9599 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9600 --------------------------------
  9601 
  9602 *** Document preparation ***
  9603 
  9604 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9605 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9606 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9607 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9608 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9609 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9610 
  9611 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9612 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9613 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9614 
  9615 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9616 blocks after section headings;
  9617 
  9618 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9619 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9620 
  9621 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9622 better in printed text;
  9623 
  9624 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9625 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9626 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9627 
  9628 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9629 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9630 location;
  9631 
  9632 
  9633 *** Isar ***
  9634 
  9635 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9636   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9637     "case (Suc n)");
  9638   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9639     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9640     instantiation of cases;
  9641   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9642     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9643     rules without further ado;
  9644   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9645     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9646     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9647     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9648     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9649   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9650     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9651     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9652     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9653     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9654     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9655   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9656     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9657     below);
  9658   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9659     success (no backtracking);
  9660   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9661   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9662   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9663     General versions);
  9664   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9665   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9666 
  9667 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9668 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9669 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9670 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9671 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9672 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9673 fails:
  9674 
  9675   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9676 
  9677 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9678 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9679 
  9680 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9681 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9682 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9683 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9684 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9685 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9686 some examples;
  9687 
  9688 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9689 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9690 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9691 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9692 qualified by the locale name);
  9693 
  9694 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9695 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9696 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9697 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9698 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9699 
  9700 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9701 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9702 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9703 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9704 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9705 
  9706 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9707 
  9708 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9709 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9710 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9711 
  9712 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9713 
  9714 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9715 
  9716 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9717 
  9718 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9719 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9720 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9721 
  9722 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9723 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9724 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9725 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9726 proof *scripts*;
  9727 
  9728 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9729 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9730 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9731 especially important for locales);
  9732 
  9733 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9734 mode;
  9735 
  9736 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9737 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9738 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9739 situations;
  9740 
  9741 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9742 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9743 
  9744 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9745 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9746 discontinued;
  9747 
  9748 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9749 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9750 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9751 
  9752 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9753 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9754 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9755 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9756 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9757 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9758 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9759 
  9760 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9761 of introduction rules;
  9762 
  9763 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9764 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9765 conditional rules;
  9766 
  9767 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9768 
  9769 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9770 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9771 
  9772 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9773 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9774 
  9775 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9776 wf_induct_rule;
  9777 
  9778 
  9779 *** HOL ***
  9780 
  9781 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9782 follows:
  9783 
  9784   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9785   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9786 
  9787   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9788   binary representation internally;
  9789 
  9790   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9791   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9792 
  9793 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9794 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9795 
  9796   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9797   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9798   to be spaced properly;
  9799 
  9800   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9801   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9802 
  9803   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9804 
  9805   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9806 
  9807 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9808 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9809 
  9810 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9811 
  9812 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9813 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9814 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9815 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9816 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9817 
  9818 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9819   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9820     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9821     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9822     declared as simp by default;
  9823   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9824     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9825   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9826     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9827   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9828   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9829     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9830     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9831   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9832     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9833 
  9834 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9835 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9836 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9837 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9838 
  9839 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9840 
  9841 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9842         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9843         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9844 
  9845 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9846 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9847 
  9848 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9849 
  9850 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9851 
  9852 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9853 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9854   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9855 
  9856 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9857 in this (rare) case use:
  9858 
  9859   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9860   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9861 
  9862 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9863 MAY FAIL;
  9864 
  9865 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9866 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9867 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9868 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9869 
  9870 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9871 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9872 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9873 
  9874 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9875 expressions;
  9876 
  9877 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9878 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9879 
  9880 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9881 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9882 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9883 
  9884 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9885 
  9886 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9887 the "cases" method);
  9888 
  9889 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9890 Florian Kammller);
  9891 
  9892 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9893 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9894 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9895 
  9896 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9897 
  9898 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9899 
  9900 
  9901 *** HOLCF ***
  9902 
  9903 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9904 operations;
  9905 
  9906 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9907 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9908 
  9909 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9910 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9911 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9912 
  9913 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9914 
  9915 
  9916 *** ZF ***
  9917 
  9918 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9919 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9920 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9921 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9922 
  9923 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9924 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9925 
  9926 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9927 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9928 
  9929 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9930 typeless version of the formalism;
  9931 
  9932 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9933 format;
  9934 
  9935 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9936 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9937 new-style theory format;
  9938 
  9939 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9940 
  9941 
  9942 *** General ***
  9943 
  9944 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9945 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9946 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9947 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9948 
  9949 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9950 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9951 
  9952 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9953 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9954 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9955 properly;
  9956 
  9957 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9958 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9959 
  9960 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9961 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9962 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9963 type variable);
  9964 
  9965 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9966 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9967 "type_brackets";
  9968 
  9969 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9970 tokens into AST constants;
  9971 
  9972 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9973 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9974 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9975 
  9976 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9977 practice);
  9978 
  9979 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9980 addSafter;
  9981 
  9982 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9983 as well;
  9984 
  9985 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9986 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9987 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9988 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9989 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9990 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9991 
  9992 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9993 
  9994 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9995 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9996 
  9997 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9998 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9999 
 10000 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
 10001 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
 10002 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
 10003 
 10004 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
 10005 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
 10006 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
 10007 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
 10008 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
 10009 
 10010 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
 10011 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
 10012 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
 10013 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
 10014 
 10015 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
 10016 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
 10017 terminal);
 10018 
 10019 
 10020 
 10021 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
 10022 -----------------------------------
 10023 
 10024 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10025 
 10026 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
 10027 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
 10028 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
 10029 
 10030 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
 10031 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
 10032 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
 10033 'split_rule (complete)';
 10034 
 10035 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
 10036 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
 10037 
 10038 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
 10039 
 10040 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
 10041 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
 10042 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
 10043 
 10044 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
 10045 operation;
 10046 
 10047 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
 10048 
 10049 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
 10050 
 10051 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
 10052 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
 10053 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
 10054 
 10055 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
 10056 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
 10057 
 10058 
 10059 *** Document preparation ***
 10060 
 10061 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
 10062 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
 10063 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
 10064 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
 10065 type-writer);
 10066 
 10067 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
 10068 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
 10069 
 10070 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
 10071 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
 10072 
 10073 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
 10074 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
 10075 definitions);
 10076 
 10077 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
 10078 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
 10079 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
 10080 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
 10081 
 10082 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
 10083 fonts;
 10084 
 10085 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
 10086 generation;
 10087 
 10088 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
 10089 
 10090 
 10091 *** Isar ***
 10092 
 10093 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
 10094 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
 10095 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
 10096 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
 10097 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
 10098 
 10099 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
 10100 rules as well;
 10101 
 10102 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
 10103 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
 10104 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
 10105 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
 10106 
 10107 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
 10108 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
 10109 
 10110 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
 10111 statements as well;
 10112 
 10113 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
 10114 
 10115 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
 10116 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
 10117 
 10118 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
 10119 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
 10120 
 10121 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
 10122 
 10123 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
 10124 
 10125 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
 10126 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
 10127 
 10128 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
 10129 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
 10130 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
 10131 
 10132 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
 10133 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
 10134 the result to be shown in each case;
 10135 
 10136 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
 10137 
 10138 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
 10139 
 10140 
 10141 *** HOL ***
 10142 
 10143 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
 10144 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
 10145 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
 10146 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
 10147 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
 10148 
 10149 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
 10150 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
 10151 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
 10152 
 10153 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
 10154 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
 10155 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
 10156 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
 10157 literature;
 10158 
 10159 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
 10160 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
 10161 operator \<Sum>;
 10162 
 10163 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
 10164 HOL/subset.thy);
 10165 
 10166 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
 10167 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
 10168 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
 10169 
 10170 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
 10171 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
 10172 
 10173 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
 10174 rules with string literals);
 10175 
 10176 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
 10177  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
 10178  functions for the reals;
 10179 
 10180 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
 10181 
 10182 
 10183 *** CTT ***
 10184 
 10185 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10186 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10187 
 10188 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10189 and Arith);
 10190 
 10191 
 10192 *** General ***
 10193 
 10194 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10195 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10196 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10197 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10198 
 10199 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10200 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10201 
 10202 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10203 as assumptions as well;
 10204 
 10205 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10206 
 10207 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10208 
 10209 
 10210 
 10211 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
 10212 ----------------------------------
 10213 
 10214 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
 10215 
 10216 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
 10217 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
 10218 issue the following ML commands:
 10219 
 10220   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
 10221   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
 10222 
 10223 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
 10224 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
 10225 
 10226 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
 10227 
 10228 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
 10229 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
 10230 
 10231   select_equality  -> some_equality
 10232   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
 10233   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
 10234   selectI2         -> someI2
 10235   selectI          -> someI
 10236   select1_equality -> some1_equality
 10237   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
 10238   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
 10239 
 10240 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
 10241 
 10242 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
 10243 instead);
 10244 
 10245 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
 10246 f.simps instead of f.rules;
 10247 
 10248 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
 10249 
 10250 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
 10251 sometimes be needed;
 10252 
 10253 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
 10254 
 10255 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
 10256 
 10257 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
 10258 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
 10259 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
 10260 
 10261 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
 10262 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
 10263 
 10264 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
 10265 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
 10266 
 10267   syntax (symbols)
 10268     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
 10269       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
 10270 
 10271 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10272 
 10273 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
 10274 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
 10275 internally;
 10276 
 10277 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
 10278 changed from A/r to A//r;
 10279 
 10280 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
 10281 proofs;
 10282 
 10283 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
 10284 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
 10285 
 10286 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10287 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
 10288 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
 10289 "rule del";
 10290 
 10291 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
 10292 
 10293 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
 10294 
 10295 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
 10296 lib/texinputs);
 10297 
 10298 
 10299 *** Document preparation ***
 10300 
 10301 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
 10302 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
 10303 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
 10304 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
 10305 
 10306 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
 10307 including proper document sources;
 10308 
 10309 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
 10310 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
 10311 of isatool usedir;
 10312 
 10313 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
 10314 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
 10315 LaTeX debugging;
 10316 
 10317 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
 10318 
 10319 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
 10320 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
 10321 graph for 'all sessions';
 10322 
 10323 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
 10324 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
 10325 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
 10326 
 10327 
 10328 *** Isar ***
 10329 
 10330 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
 10331 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
 10332 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
 10333 
 10334 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
 10335 generalized existence reasoning;
 10336 
 10337 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
 10338 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
 10339 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
 10340 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
 10341 premises;
 10342 
 10343 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
 10344 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
 10345 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
 10346 to theorems as "tags";
 10347 
 10348 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
 10349 class/type/const name spaces;
 10350 
 10351 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
 10352 indicate potential overloading;
 10353 
 10354 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
 10355 
 10356 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
 10357 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
 10358 
 10359 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
 10360 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
 10361 with the version in Provers/classical;
 10362 
 10363 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
 10364 case name 'antecedent';
 10365 
 10366 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
 10367 to the current context is now done automatically);
 10368 
 10369 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
 10370 for definining proof methods in ML;
 10371 
 10372 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
 10373 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
 10374 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
 10375 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
 10376 
 10377 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
 10378 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
 10379 
 10380 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
 10381 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
 10382 well (including splits);
 10383 
 10384 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
 10385 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
 10386 
 10387 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
 10388 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
 10389 
 10390 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
 10391 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
 10392 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
 10393 
 10394 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
 10395 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
 10396 calculations;
 10397 
 10398 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
 10399 method anyway;
 10400 
 10401 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
 10402 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
 10403 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
 10404 
 10405 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
 10406 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
 10407 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
 10408 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
 10409 
 10410 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
 10411 
 10412 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
 10413 
 10414 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
 10415 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
 10416 proof states;
 10417 
 10418 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
 10419 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
 10420 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
 10421 
 10422 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
 10423 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
 10424 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
 10425 (for HOL datatypes);
 10426 
 10427 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
 10428 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
 10429 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
 10430 
 10431 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
 10432 
 10433 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
 10434 should instead use individual commands for printing items
 10435 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
 10436 
 10437 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
 10438 
 10439 
 10440 *** HOL ***
 10441 
 10442 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
 10443 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
 10444 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
 10445 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
 10446 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
 10447 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
 10448 
 10449 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
 10450 Clemens Ballarin;
 10451 
 10452 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
 10453 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
 10454 Rasmussen;
 10455 
 10456 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
 10457 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
 10458 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
 10459 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
 10460 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
 10461 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
 10462 
 10463 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
 10464 von Oheimb;
 10465 
 10466 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
 10467 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
 10468 
 10469 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
 10470 
 10471 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
 10472 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
 10473 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
 10474 
 10475 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
 10476 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
 10477 well; admit "r" as field name;
 10478 
 10479 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
 10480 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
 10481 
 10482 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
 10483 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
 10484 
 10485 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
 10486    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
 10487    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
 10488   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
 10489     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
 10490   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
 10491     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
 10492 
 10493 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
 10494 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
 10495 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
 10496 
 10497 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
 10498 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
 10499 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
 10500 
 10501 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
 10502 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
 10503 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
 10504 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
 10505 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
 10506 
 10507 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
 10508 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
 10509 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
 10510 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
 10511 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
 10512 each equation;
 10513 
 10514 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
 10515 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
 10516 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
 10517 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
 10518 
 10519 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
 10520 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
 10521 
 10522 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
 10523 
 10524 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
 10525 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
 10526 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
 10527 
 10528 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
 10529 
 10530 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
 10531 main HOL, but was unused);
 10532 
 10533 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
 10534 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
 10535 
 10536 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
 10537 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
 10538 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
 10539 bogus);
 10540 
 10541 
 10542 *** ZF ***
 10543 
 10544 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
 10545 expressions over nat and int;
 10546 
 10547 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
 10548 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
 10549 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
 10550 
 10551 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
 10552 using the function intify;
 10553 
 10554 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
 10555 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
 10556 
 10557 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
 10558 simplification;
 10559 
 10560 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
 10561 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10562 
 10563 
 10564 *** General ***
 10565 
 10566 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
 10567 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
 10568 
 10569 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
 10570 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
 10571 
 10572 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
 10573 explicit make_elim);
 10574 
 10575 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
 10576   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10577 use instead the strong form,
 10578   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
 10579 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
 10580 from destruct-rules;
 10581 
 10582 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
 10583 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
 10584 
 10585 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
 10586 
 10587 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
 10588 for hiding of names;
 10589 
 10590 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
 10591 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
 10592 situations;
 10593 
 10594 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
 10595 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
 10596 Poly/ML);
 10597 
 10598 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
 10599 useful for remote X11);
 10600 
 10601 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
 10602 
 10603 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
 10604 order;
 10605 
 10606 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
 10607 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
 10608 
 10609 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
 10610 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
 10611 
 10612 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
 10613 overloading (usually false);
 10614 
 10615 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
 10616 results;
 10617 
 10618 
 10619 
 10620 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
 10621 --------------------------------
 10622 
 10623 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10624 
 10625 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
 10626 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
 10627 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
 10628 
 10629     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
 10630 
 10631 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
 10632 complement;
 10633 
 10634 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
 10635 
 10636 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
 10637   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
 10638 
 10639 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10640 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10641 
 10642 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
 10643 to constants declared in the same theory;
 10644 
 10645 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
 10646 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
 10647 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
 10648 
 10649 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10650 
 10651 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
 10652         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
 10653 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
 10654 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
 10655         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
 10656 where the string argument is only a comment.
 10657 
 10658 
 10659 *** Proof tools ***
 10660 
 10661 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
 10662 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
 10663 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
 10664 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
 10665 
 10666 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
 10667      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
 10668   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
 10669   matching.
 10670 
 10671 
 10672 *** General ***
 10673 
 10674 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
 10675 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
 10676 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
 10677 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
 10678 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
 10679 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
 10680 
 10681 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
 10682 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
 10683 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
 10684 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
 10685 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
 10686 
 10687 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
 10688 Isabelle/Isar;
 10689 
 10690 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
 10691 using the graph browser tool;
 10692 
 10693 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
 10694 
 10695 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
 10696 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
 10697 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
 10698 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
 10699 isatool doc ref);
 10700 
 10701 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
 10702 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
 10703 
 10704 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
 10705 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
 10706 
 10707 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
 10708 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
 10709 Isabelle;
 10710 
 10711 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
 10712 
 10713 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
 10714 empty;
 10715 
 10716 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
 10717 long arrows);
 10718 
 10719 * new print_mode "HTML";
 10720 
 10721 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
 10722 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
 10723 
 10724 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
 10725 mode and goal output format:
 10726 
 10727 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
 10728 244c244
 10729 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10730 ---
 10731 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
 10732 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
 10733 181c181
 10734 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
 10735 ---
 10736 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
 10737 
 10738 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
 10739 
 10740 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
 10741 
 10742 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
 10743 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
 10744 result still apply;
 10745 
 10746 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
 10747 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
 10748 
 10749 
 10750 *** HOL ***
 10751 
 10752 ** HOL arithmetic **
 10753 
 10754 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
 10755 int:
 10756 
 10757 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
 10758 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
 10759 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
 10760 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
 10761 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
 10762 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
 10763 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
 10764 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
 10765 
 10766 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
 10767 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
 10768 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
 10769 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
 10770 simplifier.
 10771 
 10772 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
 10773 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
 10774 int(m) < int(n)'.
 10775 
 10776 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
 10777 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
 10778 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
 10779 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
 10780 type constraints;
 10781 
 10782 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
 10783 arguments;
 10784 
 10785 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
 10786 are now available;
 10787 
 10788 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
 10789 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
 10790 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
 10791 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
 10792 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
 10793   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
 10794 
 10795 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
 10796 
 10797 
 10798 ** HOL misc **
 10799 
 10800 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
 10801 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
 10802 
 10803 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
 10804 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
 10805 
 10806 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
 10807 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
 10808 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
 10809 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
 10810 
 10811 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
 10812   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
 10813   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
 10814   "mono" attribute);
 10815 
 10816 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
 10817   (using function types) such as
 10818 
 10819   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
 10820 
 10821 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
 10822 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
 10823 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
 10824 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
 10825 
 10826   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
 10827   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
 10828 
 10829 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
 10830 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
 10831 
 10832 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
 10833 names rather than an ML expression;
 10834 
 10835 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
 10836 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
 10837     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
 10838 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
 10839 
 10840 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
 10841 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
 10842 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
 10843 
 10844 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
 10845 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
 10846 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
 10847 
 10848 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
 10849 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
 10850 
 10851 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
 10852 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
 10853 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
 10854 
 10855 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
 10856 
 10857 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
 10858 thus available for user theories;
 10859 
 10860 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
 10861 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
 10862 time;
 10863 
 10864 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
 10865 several times and then mp;
 10866

 10869 
 10870 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
 10871 formulas;
 10872 
 10873 * the simplifier is now installed
 10874 
 10875 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
 10876 
 10877 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
 10878 
 10879 
 10880 *** ZF ***
 10881 
 10882 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
 10883 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10884 
 10885 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
 10886 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
 10887 
 10888 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
 10889 
 10890 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
 10891 constructors;
 10892 
 10893 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
 10894 type-checking rules;
 10895 
 10896 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
 10897 to the claset;
 10898 
 10899 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
 10900 if(P,x,y);
 10901 
 10902 
 10903 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 10904 
 10905 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
 10906 
 10907 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
 10908 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
 10909 
 10910 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
 10911 
 10912 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
 10913 printing empty lines;
 10914 
 10915 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
 10916 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
 10917 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
 10918 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
 10919 
 10920 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
 10921 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
 10922 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
 10923 
 10924 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
 10925 now of type real instead of int;
 10926 
 10927 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
 10928 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
 10929 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
 10930 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
 10931 
 10932 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
 10933 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
 10934 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
 10935 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
 10936 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
 10937 
 10938 
 10939 
 10940 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
 10941 ----------------------------------
 10942 
 10943 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 10944 
 10945 * several changes of automated proof tools;
 10946 
 10947 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
 10948 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
 10949 
 10950 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
 10951 called `inj_on';
 10952 
 10953 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
 10954   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
 10955   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
 10956 
 10957 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
 10958 required);
 10959 
 10960 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
 10961 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
 10962 now taken as an integer constant.
 10963 
 10964 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
 10965 
 10966 
 10967 *** Proof tools ***
 10968 
 10969 * Simplifier:
 10970   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
 10971      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
 10972         simplify.
 10973      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
 10974         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
 10975      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
 10976      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
 10977   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
 10978 
 10979 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
 10980 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
 10981 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
 10982 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
 10983 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
 10984 one (emitting a warning).
 10985   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
 10986   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
 10987   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
 10988   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
 10989   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
 10990 
 10991 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
 10992 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
 10993 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
 10994 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
 10995 by Force_tac;
 10996 
 10997 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
 10998 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
 10999 
 11000 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
 11001 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
 11002 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
 11003 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
 11004 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
 11005 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
 11006 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
 11007 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
 11008 split_all_tac for record fields.
 11009 
 11010 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
 11011 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
 11012 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
 11013 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
 11014 
 11015 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
 11016 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
 11017 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
 11018 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
 11019 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
 11020 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
 11021 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
 11022 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
 11023 t is the name of the datatype).
 11024 
 11025 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
 11026 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
 11027 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
 11028 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
 11029 
 11030 
 11031 *** General ***
 11032 
 11033 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
 11034 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
 11035 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
 11036 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
 11037 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
 11038 (backup your sources first!);
 11039 
 11040 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
 11041 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
 11042 
 11043 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
 11044 definitions that have local scope;
 11045 
 11046 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
 11047 
 11048 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
 11049 (e.g. package initialization);
 11050 
 11051 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
 11052 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
 11053 
 11054 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
 11055 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
 11056 
 11057 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
 11058 
 11059 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
 11060 
 11061 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
 11062 
 11063 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
 11064 
 11065 
 11066 *** HOL ***
 11067 
 11068 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
 11069 
 11070 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
 11071 definitions such as
 11072 
 11073   inductive EVEN ODD
 11074     intrs
 11075       null "0 : EVEN"
 11076       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
 11077       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
 11078 
 11079 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
 11080 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
 11081 correctly (also ZF);
 11082 
 11083 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
 11084 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
 11085 contained in "induct";
 11086 
 11087 
 11088 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
 11089 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
 11090 
 11091   datatype
 11092     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11093             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11094             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11095             | NUM 'a
 11096   and
 11097     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
 11098             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11099             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
 11100 
 11101 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
 11102 
 11103   datatype
 11104     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
 11105                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
 11106 
 11107 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
 11108 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
 11109 
 11110 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
 11111 <function_name>.simps.
 11112 
 11113 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
 11114 
 11115   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
 11116     ancestor.
 11117   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
 11118     generic induct_tac instead.
 11119   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
 11120     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
 11121     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
 11122     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
 11123   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
 11124     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
 11125   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
 11126     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
 11127     sort constraints.
 11128   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
 11129     of recursive argument.
 11130 
 11131 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
 11132 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
 11133 
 11134 
 11135 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
 11136 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
 11137 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
 11138 support is as follows:
 11139 
 11140   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
 11141 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
 11142 
 11143   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
 11144 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
 11145 
 11146   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
 11147 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
 11148 
 11149 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
 11150 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
 11151 the name of your record type.
 11152 
 11153 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
 11154 
 11155   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
 11156 
 11157 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
 11158 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
 11159 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
 11160 solve record problems automatically.
 11161 
 11162 
 11163 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
 11164 default; theory Main includes everything;
 11165 
 11166 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
 11167 
 11168 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
 11169 
 11170 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
 11171 
 11172 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
 11173 
 11174 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
 11175 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
 11176 with add/delsplits);
 11177 
 11178 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
 11179 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
 11180 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
 11181 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
 11182 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
 11183 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
 11184 %u.f();
 11185 
 11186 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
 11187 makes more sense);
 11188 
 11189 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11190   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11191   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11192 
 11193 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
 11194 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
 11195 literature);
 11196 
 11197 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
 11198 the well-founded relation;
 11199 
 11200 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
 11201     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
 11202     release ONLY.
 11203 
 11204 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
 11205     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
 11206 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11207 
 11208 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
 11209 
 11210 * HOL/List:
 11211   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
 11212     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
 11213   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
 11214     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
 11215     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
 11216   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
 11217 
 11218 * HOL/Arith:
 11219   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
 11220   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
 11221   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
 11222   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
 11223 
 11224 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
 11225 instead of "inverse";
 11226 
 11227 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
 11228   of the multiset ordering;
 11229 
 11230 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
 11231   (not included by default);
 11232 
 11233 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
 11234 
 11235 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
 11236   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
 11237 
 11238 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11239   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11240   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11241 
 11242 
 11243 *** ZF ***
 11244 
 11245 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
 11246   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
 11247 
 11248 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
 11249   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
 11250   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
 11251 
 11252 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
 11253     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
 11254   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
 11255 
 11256 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
 11257 
 11258 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
 11259   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
 11260   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
 11261 
 11262 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
 11263     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
 11264 
 11265 
 11266 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
 11267 
 11268 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
 11269 also src/Pure/README;
 11270 
 11271 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
 11272 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
 11273 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
 11274 print_data function becomes basically useless;
 11275 
 11276 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
 11277 are qualified by default;
 11278 
 11279 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
 11280 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
 11281 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
 11282 
 11283 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
 11284 cterm -> thm;
 11285 
 11286 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
 11287 subgoal;
 11288 
 11289 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
 11290 
 11291 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
 11292 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
 11293 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
 11294 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
 11295 for example;
 11296 
 11297 
 11298 
 11299 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
 11300 --------------------------------
 11301 
 11302 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
 11303 
 11304 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
 11305 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
 11306 
 11307 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
 11308 simpset / simpset_ref;
 11309 
 11310 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
 11311 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
 11312 
 11313 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
 11314 
 11315 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
 11316 
 11317 
 11318 *** General Changes ***
 11319 
 11320 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
 11321 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
 11322 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
 11323 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
 11324 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
 11325 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
 11326 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
 11327 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
 11328 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
 11329 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
 11330 section;
 11331 
 11332 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
 11333 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
 11334 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
 11335 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
 11336 to patch your ML files accordingly;
 11337 
 11338 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
 11339 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
 11340 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
 11341 
 11342 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
 11343 conditional equations;
 11344 
 11345 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
 11346 
 11347 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
 11348 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
 11349 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
 11350 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
 11351 
 11352 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
 11353 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
 11354 
 11355 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
 11356 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
 11357 
 11358 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
 11359 show_types);
 11360 
 11361 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
 11362 
 11363 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
 11364 
 11365 * removed old README and Makefiles;
 11366 
 11367 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
 11368 
 11369 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
 11370 
 11371 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
 11372     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
 11373 
 11374 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
 11375 (which abbreviates $HOME);
 11376 
 11377 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
 11378 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
 11379 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
 11380 
 11381 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
 11382 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
 11383 
 11384 
 11385 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11386 
 11387 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
 11388 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
 11389 splitting it into several subgoals;
 11390 
 11391 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
 11392 
 11393 
 11394 *** Simplifier ***
 11395 
 11396 * added simplification meta rules:
 11397     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
 11398 
 11399 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
 11400 logics (again);
 11401 
 11402 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
 11403 
 11404 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
 11405   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
 11406   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
 11407 
 11408 
 11409 *** Syntax ***
 11410 
 11411 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
 11412 
 11413 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
 11414 
 11415 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
 11416 
 11417 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
 11418 
 11419 
 11420 *** HOL ***
 11421 
 11422 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11423   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11424 
 11425 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
 11426 
 11427 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
 11428   protocol TLS;
 11429 
 11430 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
 11431 
 11432 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
 11433 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
 11434 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
 11435 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
 11436 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
 11437 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
 11438 
 11439 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
 11440   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
 11441   are rewritten to
 11442   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
 11443   and those of the form
 11444   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
 11445   are rewritten to
 11446   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
 11447 
 11448 * HOL/datatype
 11449   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
 11450 
 11451   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11452      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
 11453         ...
 11454        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11455      )
 11456 
 11457   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
 11458 
 11459   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
 11460     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
 11461         ...
 11462        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
 11463      )
 11464   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
 11465   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
 11466   split_list_case and split_option_case.
 11467 
 11468 * HOL/Arithmetic:
 11469   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
 11470     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
 11471     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
 11472   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
 11473     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
 11474     `standard'.
 11475 
 11476 * HOL/Lists:
 11477   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
 11478   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
 11479   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
 11480 
 11481 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
 11482 
 11483 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
 11484   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
 11485 
 11486 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
 11487 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
 11488 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
 11489 
 11490 
 11491 *** HOLCF ***
 11492 
 11493 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
 11494 
 11495 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
 11496   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
 11497 
 11498 * domain package:
 11499   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
 11500   . creates hierachical name space,
 11501   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
 11502   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
 11503   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
 11504   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
 11505   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
 11506     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
 11507 
 11508 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
 11509 
 11510 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
 11511 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
 11512 
 11513 
 11514 *** FOL and ZF ***
 11515 
 11516 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
 11517   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
 11518 
 11519 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
 11520 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
 11521 
 11522 
 11523 
 11524 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
 11525 ------------------------------
 11526 
 11527 *** General Changes ***
 11528 
 11529 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
 11530 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
 11531 
 11532 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
 11533 
 11534 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
 11535 
 11536 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
 11537 messages and clean internal interface;
 11538 
 11539 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
 11540 setting goals_limit);
 11541 
 11542 
 11543 *** Syntax ***
 11544 
 11545 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
 11546 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
 11547 
 11548 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
 11549 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
 11550 "symbols" syntax table;
 11551 
 11552 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
 11553 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
 11554 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
 11555 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
 11556 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
 11557 
 11558 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
 11559 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
 11560 version of xterm);
 11561 
 11562 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
 11563 
 11564 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
 11565 access type of constant);
 11566 
 11567 
 11568 *** Classical Reasoner ***
 11569 
 11570 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
 11571 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
 11572   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
 11573   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
 11574         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
 11575   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
 11576   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
 11577     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
 11578   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
 11579 
 11580 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
 11581 assumptions;
 11582 
 11583 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 11584 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 11585 (and access functions for it);
 11586 
 11587 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 11588   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 11589   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 11590     safe steps.
 11591   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 11592     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 11593     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 11594 
 11595 *** Simplifier ***
 11596 
 11597 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 11598 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 11599 redex);
 11600 
 11601 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 11602 
 11603 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 11604 
 11605 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 11606 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 11607 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 11608 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 11609 
 11610 
 11611 *** HOL ***
 11612 
 11613 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 11614 also for type `nat';
 11615 
 11616 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 11617 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 11618 
 11619 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 11620 
 11621 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 11622 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 11623 
 11624 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 11625 
 11626 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 11627 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 11628 
 11629 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 11630 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 11631 
 11632 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 11633 infinite lists;
 11634 
 11635 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 11636 
 11637 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 11638 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 11639 
 11640 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 11641 
 11642 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 11643 
 11644 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 11645 
 11646 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 11647 
 11648 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 11649   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 11650   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 11651   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 11652   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 11653   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 11654   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 11655   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 11656   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 11657 
 11658 
 11659 *** ZF ***
 11660 
 11661 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 11662 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 11663 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 11664 
 11665 
 11666 
 11667 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 11668 ---------------------------------
 11669 
 11670 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 11671 
 11672 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 11673 
 11674 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 11675 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 11676 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 11677 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 11678 
 11679 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 11680 
 11681 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 11682 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 11683 
 11684 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 11685 
 11686 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 11687 examples on HOL/Auth);
 11688 
 11689 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 11690 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 11691 
 11692 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 11693 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 11694 
 11695 
 11696 
 11697 New in Isabelle94-6
 11698 -------------------
 11699 
 11700 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 11701 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 11702 
 11703 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 11704 
 11705 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 11706 
 11707 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 11708 
 11709 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 11710 
 11711 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 11712 
 11713 
 11714 
 11715 New in Isabelle94-5
 11716 -------------------
 11717 
 11718 * reduced space requirements;
 11719 
 11720 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 11721 
 11722 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 11723 
 11724 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 11725 
 11726 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 11727 
 11728 
 11729 
 11730 New in Isabelle94-4
 11731 -------------------
 11732 
 11733 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 11734 
 11735 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 11736 
 11737 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 11738 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 11739 
 11740 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 11741 Axiom of Choice;
 11742 
 11743 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 11744 
 11745 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 11746 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 11747 
 11748 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 11749 
 11750 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 11751 translates to the operator "split";
 11752 
 11753 
 11754 
 11755 New in Isabelle94-3
 11756 -------------------
 11757 
 11758 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 11759 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 11760         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 11761 
 11762 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 11763 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 11764 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 11765 
 11766 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 11767 
 11768 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 11769 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 11770 
 11771 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 11772 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 11773 
 11774 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 11775 of the Axiom of Choice;
 11776 
 11777 
 11778 
 11779 New in Isabelle94-2
 11780 -------------------
 11781 
 11782 * Significantly faster resolution;
 11783 
 11784 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 11785 freely;
 11786 
 11787 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 11788 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 11789 
 11790 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 11791 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 11792 (theory_of_thm);
 11793
