     2 ==============================================
     3 
     4 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
     5 -----------------------------------
     6 
     7 *** General ***
     8 
     9 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
    10 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
    11 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
    12 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
    13 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
    14 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
    15 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
    16 
    17 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
    18 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
    19 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
    20 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
    21 
    22 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
    23 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
    24 
    25 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
    26 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
    27 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
    28 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
    29 dependencies properly.
    30 
    31 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
    32 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
    33 
    34 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
    35 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
    36 
    37 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
    38 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
    39 and "class ... context ...".
    40 
    41 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
    42 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
    43 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
    44 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
    45 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
    46 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
    47 
    48 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
    49 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
    50 
    51 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
    52 to name patterns (with clickable results).
    53 
    54 
    55 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
    56 
    57 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
    58 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
    59 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
    60 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
    61 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
    62 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
    63 
    64 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
    65 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
    66 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
    67 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
    68 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
    69 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
    70 
    71 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
    72 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
    73 browser on demand.
    74 
    75 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
    76 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
    77 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
    78 that frequently occur in user interaction.
    79 
    80 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
    81 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
    82 
    83 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
    84 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
    85 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
    86 potentially infinite message streams.
    87 
    88 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
    89 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
    90 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
    91 schemes.
    92 
    93 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
    94 symbols.
    95 
    96 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
    97 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
    98 
    99 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
   100 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
   101 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
   102 
   103 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
   104 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
   105 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
   106 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
   107 
   108 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
   109 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
   110 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
   111 
   112 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
   113 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
   114 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
   115 Isabelle distribution.
   116 
   117 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
   118 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
   119 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
   120 
   121 
   122 *** Pure ***
   123 
   124 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
   125 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
   126 
   127 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
   128 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
   129 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   130 
   131 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
   132 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
   133 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
   134 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
   135 with some care where this is really required.
   136 
   137 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
   138 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
   139 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
   140 
   141   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
   142 
   143 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
   144 a Hasse diagram.
   145 
   146 
   147 *** HOL ***
   148 
   149 * Sledgehammer:
   150 
   151   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
   152     Sledgehammer manual for details.
   153   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
   154   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
   155   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
   156   - Renamed options:
   157       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
   158       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
   159       max_relevant ~> max_facts
   160       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
   161 
   162 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
   163 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
   164 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
   165 
   166 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
   167 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   168 
   169 * Lifting:
   170   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
   171   - quot_del attribute
   172   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
   173 
   174 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
   175 expressions.
   176 
   177 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
   178 pointfree expressions.
   179 
   180 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
   181 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
   182 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
   183 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
   184 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   185 
   186 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
   187 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
   188 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
   189 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
   190 accordingly.
   191 
   192 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
   193 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   194 
   195 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
   196 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   197 
   198 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   199 
   200 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
   201 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
   202 
   203 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
   204 
   205 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
   206 
   207   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
   208   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
   209 
   210 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   211 
   212 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
   213 
   214   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
   215   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
   216 
   217 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   218 
   219 * Generalized the definition of limits:
   220 
   221   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
   222     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
   223     output f x converges to G.
   224 
   225   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
   226     infinity (at_bot).
   227 
   228   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
   229     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
   230 
   231   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
   232     at_top".
   233 
   234 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   235 
   236 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
   237 lattice type classes.
   238 
   239 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
   240 
   241     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
   242     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
   243 
   244 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   245 
   246 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
   247 changes as follows.
   248 
   249   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
   250 
   251       prefix ~> prefixeq
   252       strict_prefix ~> prefix
   253 
   254   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
   255     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
   256     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
   257     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
   258 
   259   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
   260     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
   261     "list_hembeq (op =)".
   262 
   263   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
   264     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
   265     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
   266     Library/Prefix_Order.
   267 
   268   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
   269     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
   270 
   271       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
   272       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
   273       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
   274       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
   275       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
   276       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
   277       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
   278       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
   279       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
   280       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
   281       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
   282       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
   283       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
   284       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
   285       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
   286       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
   287 
   288 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   289 
   290 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
   291 
   292 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
   293 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
   294 
   295 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
   296 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
   297 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
   298 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
   299 
   300   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
   301   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
   302   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
   303   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
   304   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
   305   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
   306   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
   307   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
   308   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
   309   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
   310 
   311 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   312 
   313 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
   314 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
   315 Data").
   316 
   317 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
   318 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
   319 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
   320 code.
   321 
   322 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
   323 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
   324 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
   325 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   326 
   327 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
   328 
   329 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
   330 
   331 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
   332 
   333   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
   334   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
   335 
   336 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
   337 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
   338 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
   339 
   340   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
   341 
   342     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
   343     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
   344     cart_base i  removed
   345     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
   346 
   347   Theorems about these constants where removed.
   348 
   349   Renamed lemmas:
   350 
   351     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
   352     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
   353     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
   354     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
   355     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
   356     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
   357     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
   358     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
   359     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
   360     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
   361 
   362 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   363 
   364 * HOL/Probability:
   365 
   366   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
   367 
   368   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
   369     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
   370     (borel_measurable_induct).
   371 
   372   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
   373     projective family).
   374 
   375 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
   376 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
   377 
   378 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
   379 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
   380 datatypes.
   381 
   382 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
   383 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
   384 
   385 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
   386 trees for the code generator.
   387 
   388 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
   389 Lifting/Transfer.
   390 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
   391 
   392 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
   393 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   394 
   395 
   396 *** Document preparation ***
   397 
   398 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
   399 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
   400 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
   401 
   402 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
   403 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
   404 
   405 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
   406 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
   407 document/root.tex.
   408 
   409 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
   410 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   411 
   412 
   413 *** ML ***
   414 
   415 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
   416 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
   417 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
   418 
   419 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
   420 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
   421 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
   422 
   423 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
   424 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
   425 necessarily printing visible text.
   426 
   427 
   428 *** System ***
   429 
   430 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
   431 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
   432 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
   433 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
   434 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
   435 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
   436 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
   437 
   438 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
   439 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
   440 
   441   isabelle build -s -b HOL
   442 
   443 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
   444 
   445 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
   446 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
   447 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
   448 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
   449 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
   450 
   451 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
   452 required for "isabelle build", for example.
   453 
   454 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
   455 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
   456 
   457 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
   458 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   459 
   460 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
   461 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
   462 version of Isabelle.
   463 
   464 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
   465 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
   466 
   467 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
   468 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
   469 for home-made settings.
   470 
   471 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
   472 
   473 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
   474 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
   475 configuration.
   476 
   477 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
   478 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
   479 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
   480 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
   481 bundled as Isabelle component.
   482 
   483 
   484 
   485 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
   486 ------------------------------
   487 
   488 *** General ***
   489 
   490 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
   491 
   492   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
   493     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
   494   - markup for bound variables
   495   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
   496   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
   497   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
   498     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
   499 
   500 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
   501 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
   502 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
   503 
   504 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
   505 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
   506 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
   507 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
   508 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
   509 
   510   context
   511     fixes x y z :: 'a
   512     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
   513   begin
   514 
   515   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
   516 
   517   end
   518 
   519   thm my_trans
   520 
   521 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
   522 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
   523 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
   524 
   525 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
   526 ... begin ... end" block as well.
   527 
   528 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
   529 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
   530 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
   531 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
   532 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
   533 
   534 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
   535 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
   536 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
   537 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
   538 indices of schematic variables.
   539 
   540 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
   541 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
   542 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   543 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
   544 etc. was exploited.
   545 
   546 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
   547 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
   548 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
   549 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
   550 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
   551 of the material of that old tutorial.
   552 
   553 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
   554 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
   555 manual.
   556 
   557 
   558 *** Pure ***
   559 
   560 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
   561 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
   562 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
   563 
   564 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
   565 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
   566 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
   567 undocumented feature.)
   568 
   569 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
   570 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
   571 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
   572 
   573   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
   574 
   575   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
   576     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
   577 
   578 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
   579 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
   580 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
   581 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
   582 
   583 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
   584 
   585     num ~> num_token
   586     xnum ~> xnum_token
   587     xstr ~> str_token
   588 
   589 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
   590 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
   591 position information via constraints).
   592 
   593 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
   594 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
   595 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   596 
   597 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
   598 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
   599 
   600 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
   601 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
   602 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   603 
   604 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
   605 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   606 
   607 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
   608 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
   609 
   610   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
   611 
   612 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   613 
   614 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
   615 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   616 
   617 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
   618 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
   619 legacy since Isabelle2011).
   620 
   621 
   622 *** HOL ***
   623 
   624 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
   625 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
   626 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
   627 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
   628 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
   629 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
   630 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
   631 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
   632 possible.
   633 
   634 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
   635 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
   636 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
   637 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
   638 
   639 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
   640 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   641 
   642 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
   643 
   644 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
   645 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
   646 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
   647 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
   648 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
   649 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
   650 
   651   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
   652     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
   653 
   654   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
   655     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
   656     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
   657 
   658   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
   659     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
   660 
   661   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
   662     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
   663     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
   664 
   665   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
   666     Redefine using other integer operations.
   667 
   668 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
   669 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
   670 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
   671 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
   672 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
   673 
   674   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
   675     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
   676     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
   677     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
   678     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
   679 
   680     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
   681     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
   682 
   683   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
   684     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
   685     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
   686     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
   687     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
   688     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
   689     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
   690     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
   691 
   692   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
   693     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
   694     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
   695     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
   696 
   697   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
   698     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
   699     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
   700     after unfolding the constant definitions.
   701 
   702   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
   703     from type nat to type int.
   704 
   705 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
   706 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
   707 
   708   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
   709     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
   710     type.  Example syntax:
   711 
   712     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
   713       is List.insert
   714 
   715     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
   716     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
   717     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
   718     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
   719     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
   720     by the package.
   721 
   722   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
   723     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
   724     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
   725     code generation for each constant.
   726 
   727   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
   728     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
   729     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
   730     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
   731     lift_definition command to work with the type.
   732 
   733   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
   734     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
   735     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
   736 
   737 * Quotient package:
   738 
   739   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
   740     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
   741 
   742   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
   743     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
   744 
   745   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
   746     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
   747     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
   748 
   749   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
   750     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
   751 
   752 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
   753 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
   754 
   755 * Quickcheck:
   756 
   757   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
   758     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
   759     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
   760     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
   761     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
   762 
   763     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
   764     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
   765     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
   766 
   767     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
   768     continues searching for genuine ones.
   769 
   770     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
   771     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
   772     show genuine counterexamples.
   773 
   774   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
   775     value generators for a given type and operations.
   776 
   777     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
   778     constructors of that type.
   779 
   780   - Support for multisets.
   781 
   782   - Added "use_subtype" options.
   783 
   784   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
   785     conjectures in a locale context.
   786 
   787 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
   788 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
   789 
   790 * Sledgehammer:
   791   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
   792     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
   793   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
   794   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
   795     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
   796   - Sped up the minimizer.
   797   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
   798   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
   799   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
   800 
   801 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
   802 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
   803 
   804 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
   805 
   806 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   807 
   808 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
   809 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
   810 
   811   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
   812 
   813 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
   814 a list and a nat.
   815 
   816 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
   817 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
   818 
   819 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
   820 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
   821 default.
   822 
   823 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
   824 
   825   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
   826 
   827 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
   828 
   829 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
   830 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
   831 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
   832 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
   833 one_case.
   834 
   835 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
   836 the result of the fact expression.
   837 
   838 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
   839 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
   840 of some relation theorems:
   841 
   842   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
   843   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
   844   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
   845   transp_def ~> transp_trans
   846   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
   847   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
   848 
   849 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
   850 
   851 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
   852 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
   853 
   854 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   855 
   856 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
   857 to match the constant's name:
   858 
   859   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
   860   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
   861   rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I
   862   rel_pow_Suc_I2 ~> relpow_Suc_I2
   863   rel_pow_0_E ~> relpow_0_E
   864   rel_pow_Suc_E ~> relpow_Suc_E
   865   rel_pow_E ~> relpow_E
   866   rel_pow_Suc_D2 ~> relpow_Suc_D2
   867   rel_pow_Suc_E2 ~> relpow_Suc_E2
   868   rel_pow_Suc_D2' ~> relpow_Suc_D2'
   869   rel_pow_E2 ~> relpow_E2
   870   rel_pow_add ~> relpow_add
   871   rel_pow_commute ~> relpow
   872   rel_pow_empty ~> relpow_empty:
   873   rtrancl_imp_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_UN_relpow
   874   rel_pow_imp_rtrancl ~> relpow_imp_rtrancl
   875   rtrancl_is_UN_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_is_UN_relpow
   876   rtrancl_imp_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_imp_relpow
   877   rel_pow_fun_conv ~> relpow_fun_conv
   878   rel_pow_finite_bounded1 ~> relpow_finite_bounded1
   879   rel_pow_finite_bounded ~> relpow_finite_bounded
   880   rtrancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> rtrancl_finite_eq_relpow
   881   trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
   882   single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow
   883 
   884 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   885 
   886 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
   887 and corresponding theorem names:
   888 
   889   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
   890

  1291 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  1292 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  1293 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  1294 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  1295 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  1296 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  1297 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  1298 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  1299 
  1300 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  1301 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  1302 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  1303 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  1304 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  1305 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  1306 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  1307 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  1308 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  1309 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  1310 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  1311 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1312 
  1313   Renamed constants:
  1314   measure -> emeasure

  1317   product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb

  1332   product_sigma_algebra
  1333 
  1334   Removed constants:

  1336   distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  1337   image_space
  1338   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  1473 * Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
  1474 languages) into Isabelle/HOL.
  1475 
  1476 
  1477 *** FOL ***
  1478 
  1479 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  1480 
  1481 
  1482 *** ZF ***
  1483 
  1484 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  1485 analysis.
  1486 
  1487 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  1488 
  1489 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1490 
  1491 
  1492 *** ML ***
  1493 
  1494 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  1495 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  1496 
  1497 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  1498 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  1499 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  1500 
  1501 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  1502 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  1503 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  1504 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  1505 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  1506 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  1507 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  1508 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  1509 
  1510 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  1511 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  1512 
  1513 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  1514 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  1515 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  1516 
  1517 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  1518 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1519 
  1520 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  1521 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  1522 context as well.
  1523 
  1524 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  1525 
  1526   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  1527   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  1528   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong

  1535   setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  1536   addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  1537   delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split
  1538 
  1539 
  1540 *** System ***
  1541 
  1542 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  1543 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  1544 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  1545 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  1546 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  1547 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  1548 the generic user home was intended.
  1549 
  1550 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  1551 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  1552 
  1553 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  1554 (not just JRE).
  1555 
  1556 
  1557 
  1558 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  1559 ------------------------------------
  1560 
  1561 *** General ***
  1562 
  1563 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  1564 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  1565 
  1566   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  1567     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  1568     files for checking).
  1569 
  1570   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  1571     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  1572     positions.
  1573 
  1574   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  1575     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  1576     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  1577 
  1578   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  1579     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  1580     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  1581 
  1582   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  1583     cores.
  1584 
  1585   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  1586     versions (garbage collection).
  1587 
  1588 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  1589 including some remaining limitations.
  1590 
  1591 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  1592 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  1593 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  1594 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  1595 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  1596 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1597 
  1598 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  1599 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  1600 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  1601 
  1602 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  1603 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  1604 usedir option -Q.
  1605 
  1606 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  1607 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  1608 
  1609   long_names   ~> names_long
  1610   short_names  ~> names_short
  1611   unique_names ~> names_unique
  1612 
  1613 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  1614 
  1615   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  1616 
  1617 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  1618 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  1619 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  1620 
  1621 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  1622 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  1623 
  1624 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  1625   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  1626   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  1627   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  1628     "Classical Reasoner".
  1629 
  1630 
  1631 *** HOL ***
  1632 
  1633 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  1634 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1635 
  1636 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  1637 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  1638 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  1639 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  1640 class complete_linorder.
  1641 
  1642 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  1643 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  1644 
  1645 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  1646 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  1647 
  1648   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]

  1679 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1680 
  1681 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  1682 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1683 
  1684 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  1685 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  1686 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  1687 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1688 
  1689 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  1690 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  1691 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  1692 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1693 
  1694 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  1695 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  1696 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  1697 
  1698 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  1699 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  1700 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1701 
  1702 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  1703 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  1704 
  1705 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  1706 
  1707     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  1708     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  1709 
  1710 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  1711 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1712 
  1713 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  1714 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1715 
  1716 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  1717 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  1718 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  1719 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  1814 
  1815 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  1816 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  1817 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  1818 
  1819 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  1820 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  1821 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  1822 
  1823 * Code generation:
  1824 
  1825   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  1826     characters in the target language.
  1827 
  1828   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  1829     instead.
  1830 
  1831   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  1832 
  1833   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  1834     reactivated by the following theory command:
  1835 
  1836       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  1837 
  1838 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1839 
  1840 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  1841 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  1842 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  1843 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  1844 syntax.
  1845 
  1846 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  1847 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  1848 
  1849 * Nitpick:
  1850   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  1851   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  1852   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  1853     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1854 
  1855 * Sledgehammer:
  1856   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  1857   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  1858     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  1859   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  1860     this can be done within reasonable time.
  1861   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  1862     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1863   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  1864     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  1865   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  1866     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1867 
  1868 * Metis:
  1869   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1870   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  1871     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1872 
  1873 * Command 'try':
  1874   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  1875     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1876   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  1877     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  1878 
  1879 * Quickcheck:
  1880   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  1881     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1882   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  1883     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  1884   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  1885     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  1886     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  1887     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  1888   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  1889     (formly in HOL/Library).
  1890 
  1891 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1892 use 'partial_function' instead.
  1893 
  1894 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  1895 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  1896 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  1897 
  1898 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  1899 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  1900 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1901 
  1902 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  1903 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1904 
  1905 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  1906 arithmetic.
  1907 
  1908 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  1909 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  1910 and lattice type classes.
  1911 
  1912 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  1913 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  1914 
  1915 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  1916 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  1917 
  1918 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  1919 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  1920 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1921 
  1922   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  1923   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  1924   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  1925   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  1926 
  1927 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  1928 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  1929 constants:
  1930 
  1931   type inat   ~> type enat
  1932   Fin         ~> enat
  1933   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  1934   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  1935   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  1936 
  1937 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  1938 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1939 
  1940 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  1941 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  1942 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  1943 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  1944 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  1945 
  1946 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  1947 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  1948 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  1949 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  1950 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  1951 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  1952 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  1953 
  1954   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  1955   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  1956   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  1957   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  1958 
  1959 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  1960 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  1961 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2016   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  2017   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  2018   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  2019   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  2020     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2051 *** Document preparation ***
  2052 
  2053 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  2054 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  2055 same.
  2056 
  2057 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  2058 result.
  2059 
  2060 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  2061 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  2062 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  2063 
  2064 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  2065 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  2066 
  2067 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  2068 like this:
  2069 
  2070   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  2071   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  2072 
  2073 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  2074 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  2075 layouts.
  2076 
  2077 
  2078 *** ML ***
  2079 
  2080 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  2081 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  2082 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  2083 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  2084 under external program control.
  2085 
  2086 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  2087 data, which requires explicit setup.
  2088 
  2089 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  2090 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  2091 (better known as Proof General).
  2092 
  2093 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2094 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  2095 
  2096 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  2097 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  2098 
  2099 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  2100 (including quotes etc.).
  2101 
  2102 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  2103 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  2104 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  2105 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  2106 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  2107 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  2108 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  2109 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  2110 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  2111 
  2112 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  2113 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  2114 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  2115 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  2116 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  2117 
  2118 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  2119 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  2120 
  2121 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  2122 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  2123 
  2124 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  2125 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  2126 
  2127 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  2128 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  2129 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  2130 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  2131 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  2132 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  2133 proper Proof.context.
  2134 
  2135 
  2136 *** System ***
  2137 
  2138 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  2139 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  2140 
  2141 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  2142 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  2143 
  2144 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  2145 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  2146 
  2147   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  2148   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  2149   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  2150   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  2151   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  2152 
  2153 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  2154 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2155 
  2156 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  2157 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  2158 example:
  2159 
  2160   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  2161 
  2162 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  2163 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  2164 
  2165 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  2166 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  2167 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  2168 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  2169 
  2170 
  2171 
  2172 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  2173 ----------------------------------
  2174 
  2175 *** General ***
  2176 
  2177 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  2178 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  2179 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  2180 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  2181 like this:
  2182 
  2183   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  2184 
  2185 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  2186 
  2187 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  2188 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  2189 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  2190 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  2191 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  2192 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  2193 
  2194 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  2195 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  2196 the following package declarations:
  2197 
  2198   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  2199   \usepackage{textcomp}
  2200 
  2201 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  2202 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  2203 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  2204 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  2205 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  2206 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  2207 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  2208 
  2209 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  2210 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2211 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  2212 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  2213 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  2214 
  2215 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  2216 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  2217 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  2218 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  2219 
  2220 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  2221 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  2222 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  2223 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  2224 
  2225   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  2239   Goal_Display.goals_limit      goals_limit
  2240   Goal_Display.show_main_goal   show_main_goal
  2241 
  2242   Method.rule_trace             rule_trace
  2243 
  2244   Thy_Output.display            thy_output_display

  2248   Thy_Output.break              thy_output_break
  2249 
  2250 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  2251 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  2252 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  2253 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  2254 
  2255 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  2256 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2257 
  2258   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  2259   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  2260 
  2261 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  2262 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  2263 float_token.
  2264 
  2265 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  2266 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  2267 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2268 
  2269 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  2270 DejaVu Sans.
  2271 
  2272 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  2273 
  2274 
  2275 *** Pure ***
  2276 
  2277 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  2278 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  2279 time.
  2280 
  2281 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  2282 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2283 
  2284 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  2285 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2286 
  2287 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  2288 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  2289 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  2290 command already provided this functionality.
  2291 
  2292 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  2293 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  2294 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  2295 without interpretations.
  2296 
  2297 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  2298 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  2299 
  2300 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  2301 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  2302 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  2303 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  2304 
  2305 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  2306 'definition' instead.
  2307 
  2308 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  2309 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  2310 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  2311 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  2312 
  2313 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  2314 constructors.
  2315 
  2316 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  2317 the local file system.
  2318 
  2319 
  2320 *** HOL ***
  2321 
  2322 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  2323 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  2324 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  2325 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  2326 
  2327   declare [[coercion f]]
  2328 
  2329 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  2330 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  2331 
  2332   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  2333 
  2334 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  2335 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  2336 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  2337 other theories like this:
  2338 
  2339   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  2340 
  2341 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  2342 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  2343 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  2344 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  2345 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  2346 for examples.
  2347 
  2348 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  2349 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2350 
  2351 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  2352 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  2353 
  2354 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  2355 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  2356 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  2357 
  2358 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  2359 functorial structure of types.
  2360 
  2361 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  2362 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  2363 
  2364 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  2365 languages.
  2366 
  2367 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  2368 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  2369 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2370 
  2371 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  2372 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2373 
  2374 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  2375 combinators any longer.
  2376 
  2377 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  2378 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  2379 
  2380 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  2381 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  2382 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  2383 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  2384 
  2385   record 'a foo = ...
  2386   ...
  2387   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  2388 
  2389 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  2390 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  2391 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2392 
  2393 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  2394 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  2395 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  2396 
  2397 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  2398 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  2399 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  2400 
  2401 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  2402 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2403 
  2404 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  2405 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  2406 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  2407 independently.
  2408 
  2409 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  2410 counter example search.
  2411 
  2412 * Sledgehammer:
  2413   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  2414     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  2415     sledgehammer").
  2416   - Renamed commands:
  2417     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  2418     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  2419     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  2420     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2421   - Renamed options:
  2422     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  2423     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  2424     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  2425     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  2426     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2427 
  2428 * Nitpick:
  2429   - Renamed options:
  2430     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  2431     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  2432     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2433   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  2434   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  2435   - Added "whack" option.
  2436   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  2437   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  2438   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  2439   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  2440     higher cardinalities.
  2441   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  2442 
  2443 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  2444 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  2445 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  2446 
  2447     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  2448 
  2449 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  2450 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  2451 
  2452 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  2453 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  2454 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  2455 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  2456 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  2457 "smt_solver".
  2458 
  2459 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  2460 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  2461 
  2462 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  2463 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  2464 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  2465 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2466 
  2467 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  2468   - Renamed:
  2469     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  2470     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  2471     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2472   - Added:
  2473     smt_verbose
  2474     smt_random_seed
  2475     smt_datatypes
  2476     smt_infer_triggers
  2477     smt_monomorph_limit
  2478     cvc3_options
  2479     remote_cvc3_options
  2480     remote_z3_options
  2481     yices_options
  2482 
  2483 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  2484 header.
  2485 
  2486 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  2487 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  2488 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  2489 
  2490   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  2491 
  2492 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2493 
  2494 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  2495 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2496 
  2497 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2498 
  2499 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  2500 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2501 
  2502 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  2503 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  2504 
  2505 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  2506 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2507 
  2508 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  2509 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  2510 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2511 
  2512 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2513 
  2514 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  2515 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2516 
  2517 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  2518 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2519 
  2520 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  2521 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  2522 for congruent(2)).
  2523 
  2524 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  2525 
  2526   types
  2527     bool ~> HOL.bool
  2528     nat ~> Nat.nat
  2529

  2552     op : ~> Set.member
  2553     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  2554 
  2555 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2556 
  2557 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  2558 
  2559     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  2560     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  2561     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  2562     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  2563     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  2564     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  2565     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  2566     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  2567 
  2568 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2569 
  2570 * More stylized fact names:
  2571 
  2572   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  2573   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  2574   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  2575   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  2576 
  2577 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2578 
  2579 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  2580 
  2581   constants
  2582     null ~> List.null
  2583 
  2584   facts
  2585     mem_iff ~> member_def
  2586     null_empty ~> null_def
  2587 
  2588 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  2589 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  2590 generation.
  2591 
  2592 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  2593 Haskell code.
  2594 
  2595 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  2596 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  2597 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2598 
  2599 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  2600 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2601 
  2602 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  2603 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  2604 
  2605 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  2606 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  2607 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2608 
  2609 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  2610 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2611 
  2612 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  2613 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2614 
  2615 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  2616 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  2617 referred to by its qualified name.
  2618 
  2619   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  2620   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  2621   product ~>  Enum.product
  2622 
  2623 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  2624 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  2625 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2626 
  2627 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  2628 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  2629 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  2630 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2631 
  2632 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  2633 sort_key.
  2634 
  2635 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  2636 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2637 
  2638 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  2639 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  2640 instead of finite cartesian products.
  2641 
  2642   types
  2643     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  2644               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  2645               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  2646         (depends on your needs)
  2647 
  2648   constants
  2649      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  2650      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  2651      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  2652 
  2653 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  2654 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  2655 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  2656 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2657 
  2658 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  2659 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  2660 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  2661 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  2662 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2663 
  2664 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  2665 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2666 
  2667 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  2668 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  2669 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  2670 
  2671 
  2672 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  2673 
  2674 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  2675 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  2676 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  2677 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  2678 compatibility.
  2679 
  2680 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  2681 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  2682 
  2683 
  2684 *** HOLCF ***
  2685 
  2686 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  2687 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  2688 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  2689 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2690 
  2691 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  2692 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  2693 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2694 
  2695   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  2696   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  2697   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  2698 
  2699 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  2700 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  2701 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2702 
  2703 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  2704 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  2705 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  2706 domain definition now works:
  2707 
  2708   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  2709 
  2710 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  2711 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  2712 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  2713 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  2714 
  2715   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  2716     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  2717 
  2718   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  2719 
  2720 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  2721 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  2722 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2723 
  2724 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  2725 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2726 
  2727 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  2728 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  2729 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  2730 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  2731 
  2732 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  2733 
  2734 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2735 
  2736 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2737 
  2738 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  2739 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2740 
  2741 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  2742 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  2743 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  2744 
  2745 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  2746 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  2747 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2748 
  2749 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  2750 still supported as an input translation.
  2751 
  2752 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  2753 
  2754   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  2755   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  2756   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  2757   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  2758   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  2759   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  2760   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  2761 
  2762 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  2763 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2764 
  2765   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  2766   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  2767   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  2768   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  2769   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  2770   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  2771 
  2772 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  2773 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2774 
  2775 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  2776 
  2777   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  2778   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  2779   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  2780   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  2781 
  2782 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2783 
  2784 * Case combinators generated by the domain package for type "foo" are
  2785 now named "foo_case" instead of "foo_when".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2786 
  2787 * Several theorems have been renamed to more accurately reflect the
  2788 names of constants and types involved.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2860 *** FOL and ZF ***
  2861 
  2862 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  2863 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2864 
  2865 
  2866 *** ML ***
  2867 
  2868 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  2869 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  2870 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  2871 
  2872 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  2873 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  2874 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  2875 
  2876 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  2877 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  2878 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  2879 
  2880 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  2881 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  2882 
  2883 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  2884 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  2885 
  2886 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  2887 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  2888 
  2889 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  2890 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  2891 
  2892 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  2893 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  2894 almost all situations.
  2895 
  2896 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  2897 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  2898 Isabelle/ML.
  2899 
  2900 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  2901 meaning.
  2902 
  2903 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  2904 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  2905 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  2906 
  2907 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  2908 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  2909 
  2910 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  2911 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  2912 
  2913 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  2914 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  2915 @{thms} for most purposes.
  2916 
  2917 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  2918 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  2919 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  2920 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  2921 configuration options.
  2922 
  2923 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  2924 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  2925 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  2926 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  2927 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  2928 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  2929 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.

  2932 
  2933 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  2934 ---------------------------------
  2935 
  2936 *** General ***
  2937 
  2938 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  2939 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  2940 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  2941 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  2942 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  2943 their full internal name.
  2944 
  2945 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  2946 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  2947 Some hints on upgrading:
  2948 
  2949   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  2950     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  2951     which are independent of this issue.
  2952 
  2953   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  2954     provides the following special forms:
  2955 
  2956       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  2957       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  2958       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  2959 
  2960     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  2961     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  2962     extra variables".
  2963 
  2964     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  2965     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  2966     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  2967     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  2968     "logic".
  2969 
  2970   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  2971     antiquotations:
  2972 
  2973       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  2974       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  2975       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  2976       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  2977 
  2978   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  2979     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  2980     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  2981     antiquotations.
  2982 
  2983 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  2984 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  2985 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  2986 diagnose syntax problems.
  2987 
  2988 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  2989 
  2990 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  2991 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  2992 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  2993 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  2994 
  2995 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  2996 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  2997 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  2998 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2999 
  3000 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  3001 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  3002 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  3003 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  3004 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3005 
  3006 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  3007 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  3008 
  3009 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  3010 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  3011 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  3012 
  3013   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  3014 
  3015 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  3016 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  3017 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  3018 
  3019 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  3020 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  3021 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3022 
  3023 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  3024 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  3025 
  3026 
  3027 *** Pure ***
  3028 
  3029 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  3030 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  3031 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  3032 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  3033 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  3034 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  3035 inspect proof terms.
  3036 
  3037 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  3038 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  3039 are added internally.  For example:
  3040 
  3041   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  3042 
  3043 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  3044 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3045 
  3046 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3047 
  3048 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3049 'class' instead.
  3050 
  3051 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  3052 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  3053 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3054 
  3055 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  3056 invariants.
  3057 
  3058 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  3059 user space functionality any longer.
  3060 
  3061 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  3062 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  3063 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3064 
  3065 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  3066 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  3067 
  3068 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  3069 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  3070 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  3071 
  3072 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  3073 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  3074 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  3075 
  3076 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  3077 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3078 
  3079 
  3080 *** HOL ***
  3081 
  3082 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  3083 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  3084 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  3085 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  3086 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  3087 
  3088 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  3089 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  3090 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  3091 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  3092 
  3093   fun
  3094     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  3095   where
  3096     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  3097 
  3098   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  3099     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  3100 
  3101   quotient_definition
  3102     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  3103 
  3104 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  3105 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  3106 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  3107 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  3108 
  3109 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  3110 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  3111 
  3112 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  3113 separate HOL-SMT session.
  3114 
  3115 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  3116 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3117 
  3118 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  3119 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  3120 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  3121 
  3122 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  3123 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3124 
  3125 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  3126 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3127 
  3128 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  3129 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3130 
  3131 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  3132 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3133 
  3134 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  3135 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  3136 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3169 * Theory "Finite_Set": various folding_XXX locales facilitate the
  3170 application of the various fold combinators on finite sets.
  3171 
  3172 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"
  3173 provides abstract red-black tree type which is backed by "RBT_Impl" as
  3174 implementation.  INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3175 
  3176 * Theory Library/Coinductive_List has been removed -- superseded by
  3177 AFP/thys/Coinductive.
  3178 
  3179 * Theory PReal, including the type "preal" and related operations, has
  3180 been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3181 
  3182 * Real: new development using Cauchy Sequences.
  3183 
  3184 * Split off theory "Big_Operators" containing setsum, setprod,
  3185 Inf_fin, Sup_fin, Min, Max from theory Finite_Set.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3186 
  3187 * Theory "Rational" renamed to "Rat", for consistency with "Nat",
  3188 "Int" etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3189 
  3190 * Constant Rat.normalize needs to be qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3191 
  3192 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  3193 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  3194 
  3195 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  3196 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  3197 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  3198 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3199 
  3200 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  3201   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  3202   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  3203   - inverse, divide: Rings
  3204 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3205 
  3206 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  3207 lattices):
  3208 
  3209     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  3246 
  3247   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  3248   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  3249 
  3250     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add

  3253     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  3254     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  3255 
  3256 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3257 
  3258 * Refined field classes:
  3259   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  3260     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  3261     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  3262   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  3263 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3264 
  3265 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  3266   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  3267   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  3268   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  3269     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  3270   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  3271     equal_neg_zero.
  3272 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3273 
  3274 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  3275 sets to lattices:
  3276 
  3277   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  3278   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup

  3286   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  3287 
  3288 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  3289 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  3290 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  3291 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  3292 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  3293 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3294 
  3295 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  3296 multiset order:
  3297 
  3298   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  3299     <= and <;
  3300   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  3301     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  3302     multiset_order;
  3303   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  3304     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  3305     generation;
  3306   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  3307     if needed.
  3308 
  3309 Renamed:
  3310 
  3311   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  3312   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  3313   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  3314 
  3315 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3316 
  3317 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  3318 
  3319 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  3320 
  3321 * Theory List: added transpose.
  3322 
  3323 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  3324 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  3325 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3326

  3355   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  3356 
  3357 * Sledgehammer:
  3358   - Renamed ATP commands:
  3359     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  3360     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  3361     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  3362     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  3363     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  3364     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3365   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  3366   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  3367     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  3368   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  3369     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  3370     is still experimental.)
  3371   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  3372     full-typed mode.
  3373   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  3374 
  3375 * Nitpick:
  3376   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  3377   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  3378   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  3379     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  3380   - Added support for quotient types.
  3381   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  3382     constructs.
  3383   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  3384     "termination" proofs).
  3385   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  3386   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  3387   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  3388   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  3389     record getters.
  3390   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  3391   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  3392   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  3393   - Added "atoms" option.
  3394   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  3395     problems.
  3396   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  3397     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  3398     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3399   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  3400     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3401   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3402 
  3403 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  3404   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  3405   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  3406   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  3407   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  3408   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  3409   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  3410   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  3411   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  3412   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3413 
  3414 
  3415 *** HOLCF ***
  3416 
  3417 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  3418 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  3419 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3420 
  3421 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  3422 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  3423 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  3424 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3425 
  3426 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  3427 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  3428 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  3429 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  3430 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3431 
  3432 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  3433 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  3434 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3435 
  3436 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  3437 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3438 
  3439   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  3440   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  3441 
  3442 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  3443 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3444 
  3445   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  3446   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  3447   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  3448   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  3449   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  3450 
  3451 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  3452 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3453 
  3454   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  3455   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  3456   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  3457 
  3458 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  3459 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  3460 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3461 
  3462 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  3463 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3464 
  3465 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3466 
  3467 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  3468 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3469 
  3470 
  3471 *** ML ***
  3472 
  3473 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  3474 
  3475     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  3476     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  3477 
  3478     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  3479     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  3480     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  3481     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3482 
  3483     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  3484     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  3485     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  3486 
  3487 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  3488 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  3489 
  3490 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  3491 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  3492 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  3493 
  3494 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  3495 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  3496 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  3497 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  3498 
  3499 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  3500 the context or even global references.
  3501 
  3502 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  3503 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  3504 
  3505 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  3506 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  3507 
  3508   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  3509   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  3510   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  3511   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  3512   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  3513   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  3514   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  3515   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  3516   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  3517   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  3518 
  3519 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  3520 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  3521 
  3522 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  3523 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  3524 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  3525 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  3526 pass the proper local context through the code!
  3527 
  3528 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  3529 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  3530 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  3531 Theory_Data version.
  3532 
  3533 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  3534 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  3535 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  3536 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  3537 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  3538 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  3539 explicitly in rare situations.
  3540 
  3541 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  3542 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  3543 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3544 
  3545 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  3546 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3547 
  3548 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  3549 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  3550 quite rare).
  3551 
  3552 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  3553 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3554 
  3555 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  3556 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  3557 terms.
  3558 
  3559 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  3560 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  3561 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  3562 
  3563 
  3564 *** System ***
  3565 
  3566 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  3567 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  3568 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  3569 
  3570 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  3571 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  3572 respectively.
  3573 
  3574 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  3575 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  3576 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  3577 prefers 64 bit if available:
  3578 
  3579   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  3580 
  3581 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  3582 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  3583 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  3584 component.
  3585 
  3586 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  3587 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  3588 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  3589 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  3590 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  3591 the user for manual installation.
  3592 
  3593 
  3594 
  3595 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  3596 -------------------------------------
  3597 
  3598 *** General ***
  3599 
  3600 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  3601 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  3602 
  3603 
  3604 *** Pure ***
  3605 
  3606 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  3607 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  3608 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  3609 
  3610 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  3611 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  3612 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  3613 
  3614 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  3615 interpretation.
  3616 
  3617 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  3618 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3619 
  3620 
  3621 *** Document preparation ***
  3622 
  3623 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  3624 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  3625 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  3626 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  3627 
  3628 
  3629 *** HOL ***
  3630 
  3631 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  3632 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  3633 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  3634 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  3635 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  3636 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  3637 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  3638 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  3639 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  3640 
  3641 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  3642 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  3643 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  3644 
  3645 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  3646 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  3647 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  3648 
  3649 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  3650 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  3651 
  3652 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  3653 
  3654 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  3655 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  3656 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  3657 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  3658 
  3659 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  3660 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  3661 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  3662 "mirabelle" utility.
  3663 
  3664 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  3665 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  3666 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  3667 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  3668 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  3669 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  3670 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  3671 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  3672 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  3673 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  3674 
  3675 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  3676 procedure only.
  3677 
  3678 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  3679 
  3680 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  3681 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  3682 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  3683 that fail later.
  3684 
  3685 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  3686 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  3687 
  3688 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  3689 the same method as the approximation method.
  3690 
  3691 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  3692 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  3693 series expansion.
  3694 
  3695 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  3696 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  3697 
  3698 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  3699 reals.
  3700 
  3701 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  3702 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  3703 
  3704 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  3705 fixpoint theorem.
  3706 
  3707 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  3708   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  3709     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  3710   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  3711     accordingly
  3712   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  3713     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  3714   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  3715     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  3716 
  3717 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  3718 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  3719 lattice.
  3720 
  3721 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  3722 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  3723 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  3724 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  3725 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  3726 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  3727 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3728 
  3729 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  3730   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  3731     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  3732   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  3733     le_inf_iff
  3734   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  3735     sup_aci)
  3736   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  3737   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  3738   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  3739     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  3740     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  3741     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  3742     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  3743     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  3744     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  3745     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  3746     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  3747     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  3748     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  3749   - authentic syntax for
  3750     Set.Pow
  3751     Set.image
  3752   - mere abbreviations:
  3753     Set.empty               (for bot)
  3754     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  3755     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  3756     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  3757     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  3758     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  3759     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  3760     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  3761   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  3762 
  3763 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  3764 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  3765 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  3766 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  3767 
  3768 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  3769 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  3770 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3771 
  3772 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  3773 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3774 
  3775 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  3776 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  3777 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  3778 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3779 
  3780 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  3781 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3782 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  3783 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  3784 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  3785 
  3786 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  3787 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  3788 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3789 
  3790 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  3791 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3792 
  3793 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  3794 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  3795 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  3796 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  3797 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  3798 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  3799 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  3800 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3801 
  3802 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  3803     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  3804     code_post       replaces    code post
  3805     etc.
  3806   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3807 
  3808 * Renamed methods:
  3809     sizechange -> size_change
  3810     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  3811   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3812 
  3813 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  3814 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  3815 
  3816 * Renamed theorems:
  3817     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3818     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  3819     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  3820     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  3821     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  3822   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3823 
  3824 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  3825 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3826 
  3827 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  3828 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3829 
  3830 
  3831 *** HOLCF ***
  3832 
  3833 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  3834 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  3835 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  3836 
  3837 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  3838 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  3839 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  3840 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  3841 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  3842 
  3843 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  3844 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  3845 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  3846 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  3847 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  3848 
  3849 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  3850 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  3851 constructor are pre-configured.
  3852 
  3853 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  3854 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  3855 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  3856 
  3857 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  3858 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  3859 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  3860 as well.)
  3861 
  3862 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  3863 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  3864 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  3865 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  3866 examples.
  3867 
  3868 
  3869 *** ML ***
  3870 
  3871 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  3872 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  3873 
  3874 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  3875 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  3876 position, logical grouping etc.
  3877 
  3878 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  3879 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  3880 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  3881 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  3882 
  3883 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  3884 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  3885 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  3886 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  3887 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  3888 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  3889 
  3890 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  3891 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  3892 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  3893 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  3894 experiments with references.
  3895 
  3896 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  3897 parallel tactical reasoning.
  3898 
  3899 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  3900 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  3901 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  3902 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  3903 
  3904 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  3905 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  3906 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  3907 
  3908 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  3909 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  3910 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3911 
  3912 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3913 
  3914 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  3915 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3916 
  3917 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  3918 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  3919 
  3920 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  3921 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  3922 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  3923 
  3924 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  3925 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  3926 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3927 
  3928 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  3929 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  3930 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  3931 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3932 
  3933 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3934 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  3935 instead of global theory.
  3936 
  3937 
  3938 *** System ***
  3939 
  3940 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  3941 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  3942 usedir option -q.
  3943 
  3944 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  3945 also the system manual.
  3946 
  3947 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  3948 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  3949 
  3950 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  3951 this is always enabled.
  3952 
  3953 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  3954 
  3955 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  3956 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  3957 currently supported on Linux only.
  3958 
  3959 
  3960 
  3961 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  3962 --------------------------------
  3963 
  3964 *** General ***
  3965 
  3966 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  3967 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3968 
  3969   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  3970     "isatool."
  3971 
  3972   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  3973     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  3974 
  3975   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  3976     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  3977 
  3978 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  3979 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  3980 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  3981 
  3982 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  3983 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  3984 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  3985 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  3986 via "isabelle emacs".
  3987 
  3988 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  3989 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  3990 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  3991 
  3992 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  3993 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  3994 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  3995 
  3996 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  3997 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  3998 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  3999 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  4000 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  4001 
  4002 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  4003 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  4004 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  4005 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4006 
  4007 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  4008 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  4009 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  4010 
  4011 
  4012 *** Pure ***
  4013 
  4014 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  4015 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  4016 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  4017 
  4018 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  4019 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  4020 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  4021 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  4022 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  4023 
  4024 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  4025 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  4026 useful in locale declarations.
  4027 
  4028 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  4029 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  4030 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  4031 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  4032 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  4033 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  4034 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  4035 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  4036 no longer generated.
  4037 
  4038 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  4039 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  4040 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  4041 
  4042 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  4043 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  4044 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  4045 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  4046 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  4047 
  4048 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4049 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  4050 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  4051 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  4052 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  4053 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  4054 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  4055 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  4056 
  4057 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  4058 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  4059 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  4060 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  4061 
  4062 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4063 
  4064 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  4065 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  4066 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  4067 
  4068 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  4069 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4070 
  4071 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  4072 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  4073 in HOL, write
  4074 
  4075     class foo = ...
  4076 
  4077 instead of
  4078 
  4079     class foo = type + ...
  4080 
  4081 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  4082 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4083 
  4084 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  4085 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  4086 
  4087 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  4088 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  4089 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  4090 
  4091 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  4092 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  4093 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  4094 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  4095 directly in regular applications.
  4096 
  4097 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  4098 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  4099 
  4100 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  4101 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  4102 
  4103 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  4104 theory context.
  4105 
  4106 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  4107 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4108 
  4109 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  4110 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  4111 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  4112 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  4113 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  4114 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  4115 
  4116   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  4117 
  4118 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  4119 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  4120 normalization.
  4121 
  4122 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  4123 addressing etc.
  4124 
  4125 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  4126 
  4127   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  4128   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  4129 
  4130 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  4131 
  4132   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  4133      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  4134      parts of the code generator framework).
  4135 
  4136   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  4137      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  4138      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  4139 
  4140 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4141 
  4142 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  4143 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4144 
  4145 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  4146 patterns, e.g.
  4147 
  4148     find_consts "_ => bool"
  4149 
  4150 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  4151 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  4152 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  4153 hyphen:
  4154 
  4155     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  4156 
  4157 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  4158 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  4159 
  4160 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  4161 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  4162 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  4163 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  4164 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  4165 higher-order unification.
  4166 
  4167 
  4168 *** Document preparation ***
  4169 
  4170 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  4171 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  4172 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  4173 
  4174 
  4175 *** HOL ***
  4176 
  4177 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  4178 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  4179 
  4180 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  4181 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  4182 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  4183 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  4184 Main, as before.
  4185 
  4186 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  4187 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  4188 
  4189 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  4190 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  4191 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  4192 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  4193 
  4194 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  4195 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  4196 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  4197 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  4198 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  4199 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  4200 
  4201 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  4202 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  4203 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  4204 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  4205 
  4206 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  4207 menu.
  4208 
  4209 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  4210 (contains the empty clause).
  4211 
  4212 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  4213 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  4214 
  4215 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  4216 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  4217 
  4218 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  4219 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  4220 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4221 
  4222 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  4223 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  4224 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  4225 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  4226 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  4227 
  4228 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  4229 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  4230 
  4231 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  4232 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  4233 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  4234 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  4235 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  4236 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  4237 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  4238 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  4239 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  4240 
  4241 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  4242 
  4243 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  4244 
  4245 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  4246 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4247 
  4248 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  4249 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  4250 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  4251 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  4252 
  4253 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  4254 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4255 
  4256     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  4257     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  4258     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  4259     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  4260     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  4261     Union ~>    Set.Union
  4262     {} ~>       Set.empty
  4263     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  4264 
  4265 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  4266 theory Set.
  4267 
  4268 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  4269 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  4270 
  4271 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  4272 
  4273 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  4274 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  4275 
  4276 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  4277 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  4278 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  4279 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  4280 allowed. For examples see
  4281 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  4282 
  4283 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  4284 
  4285 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  4286 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4287 
  4288 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  4289 structure:

  4342 
  4343 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  4344 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  4345 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  4346 
  4347 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  4348 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  4349 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  4350 
  4351 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  4352 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4353 
  4354 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  4355 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  4356 
  4357 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  4358 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  4359 proofs, e.g.
  4360 
  4361   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  4362 
  4363 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  4364 
  4365 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  4366 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  4367 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4368 
  4369 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  4370 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  4371 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4372 
  4373 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  4374 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  4375 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  4376 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4377 
  4378 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  4379 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  4380 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  4381 preorder_class.*.
  4382 
  4383 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  4384 "diag" to "Id_on".
  4385 
  4386 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  4387 
  4388   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  4389 
  4390 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  4391 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  4392 fold_image.
  4393 
  4394 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  4395 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  4396 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  4397 the former will disappear at some point.
  4398 
  4399 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  4400 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  4401 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  4402 
  4403 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  4404 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  4405 realpow_0      -> power_0
  4406 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  4407 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  4408 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  4409 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  4410 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  4411 
  4412 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  4413 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  4414 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  4415 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  4416 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  4417 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  4418 
  4419     dvd_def_mod ~>          dvd_eq_mod_eq_0
  4420     zero_dvd_iff ~>         dvd_0_left_iff
  4421     dvd_0 ~>                dvd_0_right
  4422     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_DIV ~> div_by_0
  4423     DIVISION_BY_ZERO_MOD ~> mod_by_0
  4424     mult_div ~>             div_mult_self2_is_id
  4425     mult_mod ~>             mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4426 
  4427 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  4428 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4429 rename old lemmas as follows:
  4430 
  4431 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  4432 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff
  4433 mod_add1_eq            -> mod_add_eq
  4434 mod_mult1_eq           -> mod_mult_right_eq
  4435 mod_mult1_eq'          -> mod_mult_left_eq
  4436 mod_mult_distrib_mod   -> mod_mult_eq
  4437 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  4438 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  4439 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  4440 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial
  4441 zdiv_zadd_self1        -> div_add_self1
  4442 zdiv_zadd_self2        -> div_add_self2
  4443 zdiv_zmult_self1       -> div_mult_self2_is_id
  4444 zdiv_zmult_self2       -> div_mult_self1_is_id
  4445 zdvd_triv_left         -> dvd_triv_left
  4446 zdvd_triv_right        -> dvd_triv_right
  4447 zdvd_zmult_cancel_disj -> dvd_mult_cancel_left
  4448 zmod_eq0_zdvd_iff      -> dvd_eq_mod_eq_0[symmetric]
  4449 zmod_zadd_left_eq      -> mod_add_left_eq
  4450 zmod_zadd_right_eq     -> mod_add_right_eq
  4451 zmod_zadd_self1        -> mod_add_self1
  4452 zmod_zadd_self2        -> mod_add_self2
  4453 zmod_zadd1_eq          -> mod_add_eq
  4454 zmod_zdiff1_eq         -> mod_diff_eq
  4455 zmod_zdvd_zmod         -> mod_mod_cancel
  4456 zmod_zmod_cancel       -> mod_mod_cancel
  4457 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  4458 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  4459 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  4460 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  4461 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  4462 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  4463 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl
  4464 zdvd_trans             -> dvd_trans
  4465 zdvd_zadd              -> dvd_add
  4466 zdvd_zdiff             -> dvd_diff
  4467 zdvd_zminus_iff        -> dvd_minus_iff
  4468 zdvd_zminus2_iff       -> minus_dvd_iff
  4469 zdvd_zmultD            -> dvd_mult_right
  4470 zdvd_zmultD2           -> dvd_mult_left
  4471 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  4472 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  4473 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  4474 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  4475 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  4476 
  4477 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4478 
  4479 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  4480 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  4481 
  4482 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  4483 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  4484 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  4485 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  4486 
  4487 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  4488 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  4489 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  4490 theory RealVector.
  4491 
  4492 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  4493 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  4494 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  4495 and inner products are included.
  4496 
  4497 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  4498 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  4499 supported.
  4500 
  4501 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  4502 first diagonalization argument.
  4503 
  4504 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  4505 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  4506 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  4507 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  4508 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  4509 
  4510     hide (open) const gcd
  4511     abbreviation gcd where
  4512       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  4513     notation (output)
  4514       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  4515 
  4516 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  4517 
  4518 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  4519 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  4520 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4521 
  4522 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  4523 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  4524 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  4525 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  4526 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  4527 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  4528 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  4529 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  4530 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  4531 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  4532 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  4533 cases.
  4534 
  4535 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  4536 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  4537 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  4538 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems

  4548 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4549 
  4550 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  4551 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  4552 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  4553 
  4554 * New theory of factorial domains.
  4555 
  4556 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  4557 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  4558 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  4559 
  4560 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  4561 
  4562 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  4563 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  4564 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  4565 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed

  4571 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  4572 
  4573 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  4574 
  4575 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  4576 theory targets.
  4577 
  4578 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  4579 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  4580 'inductive' etc.
  4581 
  4582 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  4583 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  4584 
  4585 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  4586 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  4587 
  4588 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  4589 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  4590 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  4591 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  4592 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  4593 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  4594 the algorithm W:
  4595 
  4596  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  4597  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  4598          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  4599 
  4600 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  4601 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  4602 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  4603 
  4604 
  4605 *** HOLCF ***
  4606 
  4607 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  4608 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  4609 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  4610 
  4611 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  4612 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  4613 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  4614 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  4615 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4616 
  4617 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  4618 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  4619 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4620 
  4621 
  4622 *** ZF ***
  4623 
  4624 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  4625 
  4626 
  4627 *** ML ***
  4628 
  4629 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  4630 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  4631 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  4632 5.2.1!
  4633 
  4634 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  4635 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  4636 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  4637 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  4638 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  4639 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  4640 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  4641 
  4642 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  4643 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  4644 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  4645 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  4646 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  4647 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  4648 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4649 
  4650 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  4651 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  4652 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  4653 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  4654 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  4655 
  4656 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  4657 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  4658 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  4659 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  4660 Method.add_method.
  4661 
  4662 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  4663 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  4664 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  4665 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  4666 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  4667 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  4668 
  4669 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  4670 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  4671 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  4672 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  4673 examples.
  4674 
  4675 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  4676 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  4677 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  4678 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  4679 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  4680 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  4681 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  4682 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  4683 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  4684 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  4685 
  4686 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  4687 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  4688 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  4689 
  4690 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  4691 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  4692 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  4693 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  4694 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  4695 resort for legacy applications.
  4696 
  4697 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  4698 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  4699 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  4700 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  4701 explicit runtime argument.
  4702 
  4703 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  4704 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  4705 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  4706 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  4707 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4708 
  4709 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  4710 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  4711 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  4712 theory state.
  4713 
  4714 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  4715 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  4716 
  4717   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  4718   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  4719   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  4720   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  4721   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  4722   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  4723   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  4724   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  4725   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  4726   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  4727 
  4728 
  4729 *** System ***
  4730 
  4731 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  4732 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  4733 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  4734 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  4735 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  4736 
  4737 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  4738 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  4739 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  4740 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  4741 
  4742 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  4743 
  4744 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  4745 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  4746 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  4747 prover operations.
  4748 
  4749 
  4750 
  4751 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  4752 -------------------------------
  4753 
  4754 *** General ***
  4755 
  4756 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  4757 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  4758 
  4759 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  4760 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  4761 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  4762 provides a proper context already.
  4763 
  4764 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  4765 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  4766 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  4767 
  4768 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  4769 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  4770 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  4771 swap theory imports.
  4772 
  4773 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  4774 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  4775 
  4776 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  4777 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4778 white space without escapes.
  4779 
  4780 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  4781 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  4782 "foo_bar".
  4783 
  4784 
  4785 *** Pure ***
  4786 
  4787 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  4788 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  4789 
  4790 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  4791 There are three ways of invoking it:
  4792 
  4793 (1) unused_thms
  4794      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  4795 
  4796 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  4797      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  4798      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  4799 
  4800 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  4801      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  4802      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  4803      their ancestors.
  4804 
  4805 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  4806 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  4807 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  4808 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  4809 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  4810 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  4811 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  4812 
  4813 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  4814 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  4815 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  4816 
  4817 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  4818 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  4819 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  4820 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  4821 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  4822 
  4823 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  4824 
  4825 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  4826 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  4827 update of theories within ML code.
  4828 
  4829 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  4830 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  4831 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  4832 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  4833 
  4834 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  4835 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  4836 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  4837 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4838 
  4839 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  4840 
  4841 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  4842 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  4843 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  4844 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  4845 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  4846 
  4847 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  4848 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  4849 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  4850 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  4851 situations.
  4852 
  4853 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  4854 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  4855 proof text.
  4856 
  4857 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  4858 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  4859 
  4860 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  4861 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  4862 predicates.
  4863 
  4864 
  4865 *** Document preparation ***
  4866 
  4867 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  4868 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  4869 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  4870 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  4871 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  4872 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  4873 
  4874 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  4875 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  4876 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  4877 
  4878 
  4879 *** HOL ***
  4880 
  4881 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  4882 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  4883 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  4884 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  4885 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  4886 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  4887 
  4888 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  4889 with multithreading.
  4890 
  4891 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  4892 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  4893 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  4894 
  4895 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  4896 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  4897 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  4898 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4899 
  4900 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  4901 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  4902 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  4903 and makes them available separately.  See
  4904 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  4905 
  4906 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  4907 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  4908 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  4909 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  4910 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  4911 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  4912 type and generates all solutions by prolog-style backwards proof using
  4913 the declared rules.
  4914 
  4915 This setup also deals with rules like 
  4916 
  4917   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  4918 
  4919 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  4920 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  4921 
  4922 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  4923 
  4924   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  4925 
  4926   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  4927     definitions on => and bool.
  4928 
  4929   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  4930     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  4931     the following theorems have been renamed:
  4932 
  4933       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  4934       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  4935       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  4936       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  4937       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  4938       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  4939       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  4940       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  4941 
  4942   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  4943     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  4944     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  4945 
  4946   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  4947     The proof pattern
  4948 
  4949       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4950       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  4951 
  4952     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  4953     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  4954 
  4955       have "EX S. P S"
  4956       proof
  4957         show "P S" <...>
  4958       qed
  4959 
  4960   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  4961     The proof pattern
  4962 
  4963       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4964       also have "S = T" <...>
  4965       finally have "P T" .
  4966 
  4967     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  4968     must be replaced by something like
  4969 
  4970       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  4971       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  4972       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  4973 
  4974   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  4975     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  4976 
  4977       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  4978 
  4979     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  4980     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  4981     type of the form
  4982 
  4983       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  4984 
  4985     rather than
  4986 
  4987       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  4988 
  4989 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  4990 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  4991 
  4992 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4993 
  4994 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  4995 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  4996 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4997 
  4998 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  4999 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5000 
  5001 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  5002 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5003 
  5004 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  5005 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  5006 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5007 
  5008 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  5009 the same name in theory Orderings:
  5010 
  5011   less_trans
  5012   less_linear
  5013   le_imp_less_or_eq
  5014   le_less_trans
  5015   less_le_trans
  5016   less_not_sym
  5017   less_asym
  5018 
  5019 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  5020 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  5021 and different variable names.
  5022 
  5023 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  5024 
  5025 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  5026 finite maps.
  5027 
  5028 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  5029 
  5030 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  5031 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  5032 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  5033 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  5034 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  5035 accordingly.
  5036 
  5037 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  5038 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  5039 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  5040 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  5041 
  5042 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  5043 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  5044 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  5045 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  5046 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  5047 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5048 
  5049 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  5050 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5051 
  5052 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  5053 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  5054 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  5055 
  5056 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  5057 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5058 
  5059 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  5060 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  5061 
  5062 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  5063 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5064 
  5065 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  5066 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5067 
  5068 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  5069 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  5070 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5071 
  5072 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  5073 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5074 
  5075 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  5076 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  5077 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  5078 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  5079 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  5080 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5081 
  5082 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  5083 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  5084 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  5085 
  5086 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  5087 
  5088 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  5089 
  5090 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  5091 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  5092 well-orders on sets and on types.
  5093 
  5094 
  5095 *** ZF ***
  5096 
  5097 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  5098 same session:
  5099 
  5100   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  5101   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  5102   Int       -> Int_ZF
  5103   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  5104   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  5105   List      -> List_ZF
  5106   Main      -> Main_ZF
  5107 
  5108 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  5109 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  5110 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  5111 
  5112 
  5113 *** ML ***
  5114 
  5115 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  5116 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  5117 
  5118 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  5119 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  5120 
  5121 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  5122 
  5123 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  5124 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  5125 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  5126 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  5127 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5128 
  5129 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  5130 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  5131 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  5132 
  5133 
  5134 *** System ***
  5135 
  5136 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  5137 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  5138 
  5139 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  5140 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  5141 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  5142 
  5143 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  5144 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  5145 
  5146 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  5147 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  5148 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  5149 
  5150 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  5151 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  5152 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  5153 
  5154 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  5155 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  5156 
  5157 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  5158 way of changing the user's settings is via
  5159 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  5160 script.
  5161 
  5162 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  5163 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  5164 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  5165 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  5166 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  5167 
  5168 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  5169 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  5170 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  5171 
  5172 
  5173 
  5174 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  5175 -----------------------------------
  5176 
  5177 *** General ***
  5178 
  5179 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  5180 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  5181 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5182 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  5183 
  5184 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  5185 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  5186 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5187 
  5188 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  5189 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  5190 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  5191 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5192 
  5193 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  5194 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  5195 quotes.
  5196 
  5197 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  5198 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  5199 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  5200 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  5201 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  5202 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  5203 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  5204 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  5205 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  5206 
  5207 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  5208 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  5209 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  5210 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  5211 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  5212 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  5213 
  5214 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  5215 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  5216 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  5217 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  5218 
  5219 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  5220 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  5221 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  5222 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  5223 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  5224 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  5225 
  5226 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  5227 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  5228 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  5229 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  5230 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  5231 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  5232 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  5233 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  5234 
  5235 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  5236 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  5237 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  5238 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  5239 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  5240 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  5241 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  5242 
  5243 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  5244 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  5245 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  5246 
  5247 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  5248 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  5249 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  5250 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  5251 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  5252 limit is imposed.
  5253 
  5254 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  5255 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  5256 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  5257 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  5258 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  5259 and scalability.
  5260 
  5261 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  5262 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  5263 
  5264 
  5265 *** Document preparation ***
  5266 
  5267 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  5268 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  5269 current context.
  5270 
  5271 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  5272 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  5273 
  5274 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  5275 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  5276 arguments may be given on the LHS.)
  5277 
  5278 
  5279 *** Pure ***
  5280 
  5281 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  5282 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  5283 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  5284 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  5285 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  5286 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  5287 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  5288 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  5289 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  5290 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  5291 
  5292 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  5293 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  5294 sketch:
  5295 
  5296     internal compilation:
  5297         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  5298     writing SML code to a file:
  5299         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  5300     writing OCaml code to a file:
  5301         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  5302     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  5303         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  5304 
  5305     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  5306         method ``eval''
  5307 
  5308 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  5309 
  5310 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  5311 
  5312     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5313     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  5314     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5315     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  5316 
  5317 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  5318 
  5319     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  5320       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  5321 
  5322     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  5323       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  5324 
  5325     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  5326       {(target)}+
  5327         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  5328 
  5329     code_class <and_list of classes>
  5330       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  5331         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  5332 
  5333 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  5334 
  5335 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  5336 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  5337 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  5338 codegen".
  5339 
  5340 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  5341 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  5342 annotations).
  5343 
  5344 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  5345 syntax.
  5346 
  5347 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  5348 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  5349 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  5350 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  5351 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  5352 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  5353 
  5354 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  5355 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  5356 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  5357 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  5358 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  5359 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  5360 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  5361 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  5362 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  5363 equations, see section "definitions".
  5364 
  5365 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  5366 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  5367 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  5368 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  5369 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  5370 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  5371 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  5372 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  5373 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  5374 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  5375 
  5376 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  5377 configuration options:
  5378 
  5379   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  5380   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  5381   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  5382   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  5383   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  5384   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  5385   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  5386   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  5387   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  5388 
  5389 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  5390 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  5391 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  5392 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  5393 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  5394 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  5395 order.
  5396 
  5397 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  5398 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  5399 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  5400 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  5401 context encountered later on.
  5402 
  5403 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  5404 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  5405 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  5406 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  5407 
  5408 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  5409 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  5410 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  5411 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  5412 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  5413 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  5414 
  5415 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  5416 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  5417 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  5418 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  5419 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  5420 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  5421 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  5422 more permissive.
  5423 
  5424 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  5425 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  5426 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  5427 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  5428 maintainability of proof texts.
  5429 
  5430 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  5431 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  5432 
  5433   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  5434   then guess x and y by clarify
  5435 
  5436 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  5437 proof tools being involved here.
  5438 
  5439 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  5440 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  5441 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  5442 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  5443 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  5444 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  5445 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  5446 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  5447 
  5448 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  5449 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  5450 certain special cases of literal facts:
  5451 
  5452   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  5453   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  5454   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  5455   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  5456 
  5457 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  5458 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  5459 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  5460 
  5461 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  5462 both named and unnamed ones.
  5463 
  5464 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  5465 
  5466   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  5467 
  5468 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  5469 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  5470 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  5471 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  5472 
  5473 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  5474 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  5475 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  5476 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  5477 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  5478 
  5479 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  5480 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  5481 
  5482 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  5483 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  5484 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  5485 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  5486 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  5487 originally first one.
  5488 
  5489 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  5490 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  5491 expected.
  5492 
  5493 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  5494 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  5495 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  5496 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  5497 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  5498 
  5499   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5500     assumes "EX x. P x"
  5501     obtains x where "P x"
  5502 
  5503   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5504     assumes "A & B"
  5505     obtains A and B
  5506 
  5507   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5508     assumes "A | B"
  5509     obtains
  5510       A
  5511     | B
  5512 
  5513 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  5514 explicitly:
  5515 
  5516   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5517     obtains "~ thesis"
  5518 
  5519   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  5520     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  5521 
  5522 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  5523 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  5524 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  5525 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  5526 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  5527 case_names).
  5528 
  5529 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  5530 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  5531 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  5532 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  5533 
  5534 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  5535 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  5536 top-level lemma.
  5537 
  5538 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  5539 introduction rule (default "that").
  5540 
  5541 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5542 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  5543 to occur.
  5544 
  5545 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  5546 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  5547 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  5548 representations independently of name spaces.
  5549 
  5550 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  5551 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  5552 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5553 
  5554 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  5555 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  5556 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  5557 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  5558 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  5559 current context.
  5560 
  5561 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  5562 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  5563 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  5564 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  5565 
  5566   axiomatization
  5567     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  5568     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  5569 
  5570   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  5571   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  5572 
  5573   abbreviation
  5574     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  5575     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  5576 
  5577 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  5578 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  5579 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  5580 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  5581 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  5582 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  5583 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  5584 
  5585 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  5586 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  5587 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  5588 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  5589 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  5590 
  5591 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  5592 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  5593 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  5594 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  5595 
  5596 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  5597 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  5598 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  5599 
  5600   definition "K x _ = x"
  5601 
  5602   inductive conj for A B
  5603   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  5604 
  5605 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  5606 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  5607 abbreviations on output.
  5608 
  5609 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  5610 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  5611 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  5612 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  5613 
  5614 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  5615 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  5616 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  5617 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  5618 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  5619 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  5620 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  5621 
  5622 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  5623 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  5624 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  5625 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  5626 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  5627 
  5628 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  5629 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  5630 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  5631 
  5632 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  5633 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  5634 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  5635 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  5636 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  5637 
  5638   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  5639     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  5640 
  5641 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  5642 definition specification element in the context of locale
  5643 partial_order.
  5644 
  5645 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  5646 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  5647 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  5648 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  5649 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  5650 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  5651 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  5652 examples.
  5653 
  5654 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  5655 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  5656 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  5657 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  5658 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  5659 
  5660 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  5661 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  5662 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  5663 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  5664 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  5665 
  5666   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  5667   (induct set: foo bar)
  5668   (induct pred: foo bar)
  5669   (induct type: foo bar)
  5670 
  5671 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  5672 new format.
  5673 
  5674 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  5675 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  5676 
  5677 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  5678 considered a legacy feature.
  5679 
  5680 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  5681 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5682 
  5683 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  5684 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  5685 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  5686 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  5687   
  5688 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  5689 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  5690 manipulating the claset.
  5691 
  5692 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  5693 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  5694 least one premise.
  5695 
  5696 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  5697 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  5698 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  5699 rule steps.
  5700 
  5701 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  5702 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  5703 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  5704 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  5705 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  5706 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  5707 
  5708 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  5709 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  5710 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  5711 
  5712 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  5713 the graph browser tool.
  5714 
  5715 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  5716 default; use '!' option for full details.
  5717 
  5718 
  5719 *** HOL ***
  5720 
  5721 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  5722 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  5723 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  5724 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  5725 multi-threading.
  5726   
  5727 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  5728 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  5729 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  5730 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  5731 work with multi-threading.
  5732 
  5733 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  5734 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  5735 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  5736 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  5737 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  5738 
  5739 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  5740 
  5741 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  5742 equality.
  5743 
  5744 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  5745 the new 'class' package:
  5746 
  5747     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  5748     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  5749     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero

  5766     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  5767 
  5768 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  5769 
  5770 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  5771 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  5772 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  5773 names.
  5774 
  5775 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  5776 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  5777 
  5778 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  5779 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  5780 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  5781 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  5782 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  5783 
  5784 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  5785 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  5786 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  5787 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  5788 
  5789 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  5790 
  5791 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  5792 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  5793 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  5794 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  5795 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5796 
  5797 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  5798 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5799 
  5800 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  5801 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  5802 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5803 
  5804 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  5805 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  5806 
  5807 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  5808 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  5809 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  5810 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  5811 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  5812 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  5813 in the current context.
  5814 
  5815 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  5816 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  5817 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5818 
  5819 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  5820 with new class dense_linear_order.
  5821 
  5822 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  5823 
  5824     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  5825     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  5826 
  5827     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  5828       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  5829     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  5830     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  5831 
  5832     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  5833     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  5834 
  5835   INCOMPATIBILITY.  Theorem renames:
  5836 
  5837     meet_left_le            ~> inf_le1
  5838     meet_right_le           ~> inf_le2

  5937 
  5938 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  5939 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  5940 
  5941 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  5942 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  5943 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  5944 "*.size".
  5945 
  5946 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  5947 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5948 
  5949 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  5950 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  5951 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5952 
  5953 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5954 
  5955 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  5956 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  5957 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  5958 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  5959 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  5960 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  5961 numerals on all operations.
  5962 
  5963 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  5964 
  5965 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  5966 
  5967 * Code generator library theories:
  5968   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  5969     languages.
  5970   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  5971     languages.
  5972   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  5973     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  5974   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  5975   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  5976     denominator).
  5977   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  5978     representable by rational numbers.
  5979   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  5980     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  5981     includes Code_Integer.
  5982   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  5983     target-language built-in integers.
  5984   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  5985     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  5986 
  5987 * New package for inductive predicates
  5988 
  5989   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  5990 
  5991     inductive
  5992       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  5993       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  5994     where
  5995       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  5996     | ...
  5997 
  5998   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  5999 
  6000     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6001 
  6002     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6003     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6004 
  6005     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  6006     intros
  6007       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6008       ...
  6009 
  6010   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  6011   sets to be defined with the new package via
  6012 
  6013     inductive_set
  6014       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6015       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6016     where
  6017       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6018     | ...
  6019 
  6020   or
  6021 
  6022     inductive_set
  6023       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  6024       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  6025       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  6026     where
  6027       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  6028     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  6029     | ...
  6030 
  6031   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  6032 
  6033   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  6034   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  6035 
  6036   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6037 
  6038   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  6039     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  6040     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  6041     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  6042     than before the actual inductive definition.
  6043 
  6044   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  6045     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  6046     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  6047     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  6048     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  6049     statements of the form
  6050 
  6051       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  6052 
  6053     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  6054     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  6055 
  6056       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  6057 
  6058   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  6059 
  6060       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  6061         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6062         ==> ... ==> P
  6063 
  6064     for predicates and
  6065 
  6066       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6067         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  6068         ==> ... ==> P
  6069 
  6070     for sets rather than
  6071 
  6072       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  6073         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  6074         ==> ... ==> P
  6075 
  6076     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  6077     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  6078     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  6079 
  6080   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  6081     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  6082     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  6083 
  6084 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  6085 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  6086 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  6087 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  6088 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  6089 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  6090 
  6091 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  6092 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures. 
  6093 
  6094 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  6095 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  6096 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  6097 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  6098 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  6099 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  6100 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  6101 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  6102 variable.
  6103 
  6104 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  6105 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  6106 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  6107 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6108   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  6109   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  6110 
  6111 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  6112 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  6113 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  6114 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  6115 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  6116 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  6117 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  6118 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  6119 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  6120 
  6121 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  6122 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  6123 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  6124 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  6125 rat, etc.
  6126 
  6127 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  6128 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  6129 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  6130 
  6131 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  6132 
  6133 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  6134 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  6135 
  6136 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  6137 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  6138 
  6139 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  6140 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  6141 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6142 
  6143 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  6144 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  6145 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6146 
  6147 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  6148 
  6149 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  6150 
  6151 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  6152 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  6153 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  6154 positive/negative (in inequations).
  6155 
  6156 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  6157 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  6158 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  6159 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6160 
  6161 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  6162 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  6163 algebraic operations.
  6164 
  6165 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  6166 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6167 
  6168 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  6169 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6170 
  6171 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  6172 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  6173 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  6174 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  6175 adapted.
  6176  
  6177 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  6178 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  6179 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  6180 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  6181 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  6182 
  6183 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  6184 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  6185 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  6186 
  6187 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  6188 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  6189 better use 'abbreviation'.
  6190 
  6191 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6192 
  6193 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  6194 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  6195 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  6196   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  6197       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  6198   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  6199   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  6200   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  6201 
  6202 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  6203 
  6204 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  6205 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  6206 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  6207 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  6208 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  6209 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  6210 
  6211 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  6212 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  6213 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  6214 
  6215 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  6216 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  6217 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  6218 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6219 
  6220 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  6221 
  6222 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  6223 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6224 
  6225 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  6226 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  6227 
  6228 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  6229 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  6230 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  6231 
  6232 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  6233 True/False.
  6234 
  6235 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  6236 
  6237 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  6238 
  6239 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  6240 ``rule'' method.
  6241 
  6242 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  6243 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  6244 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  6245 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  6246 
  6247 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  6248 zChaff is still supported as well.
  6249 
  6250 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  6251 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  6252 
  6253 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  6254 Library.
  6255 
  6256 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  6257 
  6258 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  6259 as greatest fixed-point.
  6260 
  6261 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  6262 association lists.
  6263 
  6264 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  6265 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  6266 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  6267 
  6268 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  6269 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  6270 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6271 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  6272 behavior.
  6273 
  6274 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  6275 
  6276 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  6277 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  6278 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  6279 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  6280 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  6281 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  6282 
  6283 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  6284 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  6285 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  6286 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  6287 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  6288 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  6289 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  6290 
  6291 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  6292 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  6293 
  6294 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  6295 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  6296 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  6297 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  6298 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  6299 
  6300 
  6301 *** HOL-Complex ***
  6302 
  6303 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  6304 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  6305 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  6306 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  6307 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6308 
  6309 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  6310 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  6311 and norm :: 'a => real.
  6312 
  6313 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  6314 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  6315 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6316 
  6317 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  6318 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  6319 
  6320 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  6321 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  6322 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  6323 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  6339   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  6340 
  6341 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  6342 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  6343 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  6344 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  6345

  6353   is(NS)Cont    <-- is(NS)Contc, is(NS)contCR
  6354   (ns)deriv     <-- (ns)cderiv
  6355 
  6356 
  6357 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  6358 
  6359 * Formalisation of ideals and the quotient construction over rings.
  6360 
  6361 * Order and lattice theory no longer based on records.
  6362 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6363 
  6364 * Renamed lemmas least_carrier -> least_closed and greatest_carrier ->
  6365 greatest_closed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6366 
  6367 * Method algebra is now set up via an attribute.  For examples see
  6368 Ring.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY: the method is now weaker on combinations
  6369 of algebraic structures.
  6370 
  6371 * Renamed theory CRing to Ring.
  6372 
  6373 
  6374 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  6375 
  6376 * Substantial, yet incomplete support for nominal datatypes (binding
  6377 structures) based on HOL-Nominal logic.  See src/HOL/Nominal and
  6378 src/HOL/Nominal/Examples.  Prospective users should consult
  6379 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/nominal/
  6380 
  6381 
  6382 *** ML ***
  6383 
  6384 * ML basics: just one true type int, which coincides with IntInf.int
  6385 (even on SML/NJ).
  6386 
  6387 * ML within Isar: antiquotations allow to embed statically-checked
  6388 formal entities in the source, referring to the context available at
  6389 compile-time.  For example:
  6390 
  6391 ML {* @{sort "{zero,one}"} *}
  6392 ML {* @{typ "'a => 'b"} *}
  6393 ML {* @{term "%x. x"} *}
  6394 ML {* @{prop "x == y"} *}
  6395 ML {* @{ctyp "'a => 'b"} *}
  6396 ML {* @{cterm "%x. x"} *}
  6397 ML {* @{cprop "x == y"} *}
  6398 ML {* @{thm asm_rl} *}
  6399 ML {* @{thms asm_rl} *}
  6400 ML {* @{type_name c} *}
  6401 ML {* @{type_syntax c} *}
  6402 ML {* @{const_name c} *}
  6403 ML {* @{const_syntax c} *}
  6404 ML {* @{context} *}
  6405 ML {* @{theory} *}
  6406 ML {* @{theory Pure} *}
  6407 ML {* @{theory_ref} *}
  6408 ML {* @{theory_ref Pure} *}
  6409 ML {* @{simpset} *}
  6410 ML {* @{claset} *}
  6411 ML {* @{clasimpset} *}
  6412 
  6413 The same works for sources being ``used'' within an Isar context.
  6414 
  6415 * ML in Isar: improved error reporting; extra verbosity with
  6416 ML_Context.trace enabled.
  6417 
  6418 * Pure/General/table.ML: the join operations now works via exceptions
  6419 DUP/SAME instead of type option. This is simpler in simple cases, and
  6420 admits slightly more efficient complex applications.
  6421 
  6422 * Pure: 'advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) now
  6423 use Context.generic instead of just theory.
  6424 
  6425 * Pure: datatype Context.generic joins theory/Proof.context and
  6426 provides some facilities for code that works in either kind of
  6427 context, notably GenericDataFun for uniform theory and proof data.
  6428 
  6429 * Pure: simplified internal attribute type, which is now always
  6430 Context.generic * thm -> Context.generic * thm. Global (theory) vs.
  6431 local (Proof.context) attributes have been discontinued, while
  6432 minimizing code duplication. Thm.rule_attribute and
  6433 Thm.declaration_attribute build canonical attributes; see also structure
  6434 Context for further operations on Context.generic, notably
  6435 GenericDataFun. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt attribute type
  6436 declarations and definitions.
  6437 
  6438 * Context data interfaces (Theory/Proof/GenericDataFun): removed
  6439 name/print, uninitialized data defaults to ad-hoc copy of empty value,
  6440 init only required for impure data. INCOMPATIBILITY: empty really need
  6441 to be empty (no dependencies on theory content!)
  6442 
  6443 * Pure/kernel: consts certification ignores sort constraints given in
  6444 signature declarations. (This information is not relevant to the
  6445 logic, but only for type inference.) SIGNIFICANT INTERNAL CHANGE,
  6446 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6447 
  6448 * Pure: axiomatic type classes are now purely definitional, with
  6449 explicit proofs of class axioms and super class relations performed
  6450 internally. See Pure/axclass.ML for the main internal interfaces --
  6451 notably AxClass.define_class supercedes AxClass.add_axclass, and
  6452 AxClass.axiomatize_class/classrel/arity supersede
  6453 Sign.add_classes/classrel/arities.
  6454 
  6455 * Pure/Isar: Args/Attrib parsers operate on Context.generic --
  6456 global/local versions on theory vs. Proof.context have been
  6457 discontinued; Attrib.syntax and Method.syntax have been adapted
  6458 accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt parser expressions for
  6459 attributes, methods, etc.
  6460 
  6461 * Pure: several functions of signature "... -> theory -> theory * ..."
  6462 have been reoriented to "... -> theory -> ... * theory" in order to
  6463 allow natural usage in combination with the ||>, ||>>, |-> and
  6464 fold_map combinators.
  6465 
  6466 * Pure: official theorem names (closed derivations) and additional
  6467 comments (tags) are now strictly separate.  Name hints -- which are
  6468 maintained as tags -- may be attached any time without affecting the
  6469 derivation.
  6470 
  6471 * Pure: primitive rule lift_rule now takes goal cterm instead of an
  6472 actual goal state (thm).  Use Thm.lift_rule (Thm.cprem_of st i) to
  6473 achieve the old behaviour.
  6474 
  6475 * Pure: the "Goal" constant is now called "prop", supporting a
  6476 slightly more general idea of ``protecting'' meta-level rule
  6477 statements.
  6478 
  6479 * Pure: Logic.(un)varify only works in a global context, which is now
  6480 enforced instead of silently assumed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use
  6481 Logic.legacy_(un)varify as temporary workaround.
  6482 
  6483 * Pure: structure Name provides scalable operations for generating
  6484 internal variable names, notably Name.variants etc.  This replaces
  6485 some popular functions from term.ML:
  6486 
  6487   Term.variant		->  Name.variant
  6488   Term.variantlist	->  Name.variant_list
  6489   Term.invent_names	->  Name.invent_list
  6490 
  6491 Note that low-level renaming rarely occurs in new code -- operations
  6492 from structure Variable are used instead (see below).
  6493 
  6494 * Pure: structure Variable provides fundamental operations for proper
  6495 treatment of fixed/schematic variables in a context.  For example,
  6496 Variable.import introduces fixes for schematics of given facts and
  6497 Variable.export reverses the effect (up to renaming) -- this replaces
  6498 various freeze_thaw operations.
  6499 
  6500 * Pure: structure Goal provides simple interfaces for
  6501 init/conclude/finish and tactical prove operations (replacing former
  6502 Tactic.prove).  Goal.prove is the canonical way to prove results
  6503 within a given context; Goal.prove_global is a degraded version for
  6504 theory level goals, including a global Drule.standard.  Note that
  6505 OldGoals.prove_goalw_cterm has long been obsolete, since it is
  6506 ill-behaved in a local proof context (e.g. with local fixes/assumes or
  6507 in a locale context).
  6508 
  6509 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for parsing (Syntax.parse_term etc.)
  6510 and type checking (Syntax.check_term etc.), with common combinations
  6511 (Syntax.read_term etc.). These supersede former Sign.read_term etc.
  6512 which are considered legacy and await removal.
  6513 
  6514 * Pure/Syntax: generic interfaces for type unchecking
  6515 (Syntax.uncheck_terms etc.) and unparsing (Syntax.unparse_term etc.),
  6516 with common combinations (Syntax.pretty_term, Syntax.string_of_term
  6517 etc.).  Former Sign.pretty_term, Sign.string_of_term etc. are still
  6518 available for convenience, but refer to the very same operations using
  6519 a mere theory instead of a full context.
  6520 
  6521 * Isar: simplified treatment of user-level errors, using exception
  6522 ERROR of string uniformly.  Function error now merely raises ERROR,
  6523 without any side effect on output channels.  The Isar toplevel takes
  6524 care of proper display of ERROR exceptions.  ML code may use plain
  6525 handle/can/try; cat_error may be used to concatenate errors like this:
  6526 
  6527   ... handle ERROR msg => cat_error msg "..."
  6528 
  6529 Toplevel ML code (run directly or through the Isar toplevel) may be
  6530 embedded into the Isar toplevel with exception display/debug like
  6531 this:
  6532 
  6533   Isar.toplevel (fn () => ...)
  6534 
  6535 INCOMPATIBILITY, removed special transform_error facilities, removed
  6536 obsolete variants of user-level exceptions (ERROR_MESSAGE,
  6537 Context.PROOF, ProofContext.CONTEXT, Proof.STATE, ProofHistory.FAIL)
  6538 -- use plain ERROR instead.
  6539 
  6540 * Isar: theory setup now has type (theory -> theory), instead of a
  6541 list.  INCOMPATIBILITY, may use #> to compose setup functions.
  6542 
  6543 * Isar: ML toplevel pretty printer for type Proof.context, subject to
  6544 ProofContext.debug/verbose flags.
  6545 
  6546 * Isar: Toplevel.theory_to_proof admits transactions that modify the
  6547 theory before entering a proof state.  Transactions now always see a
  6548 quasi-functional intermediate checkpoint, both in interactive and
  6549 batch mode.
  6550 
  6551 * Isar: simplified interfaces for outer syntax.  Renamed
  6552 OuterSyntax.add_keywords to OuterSyntax.keywords.  Removed
  6553 OuterSyntax.add_parsers -- this functionality is now included in
  6554 OuterSyntax.command etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6555 
  6556 * Simplifier: the simpset of a running simplification process now
  6557 contains a proof context (cf. Simplifier.the_context), which is the
  6558 very context that the initial simpset has been retrieved from (by
  6559 simpset_of/local_simpset_of).  Consequently, all plug-in components
  6560 (solver, looper etc.) may depend on arbitrary proof data.
  6561 
  6562 * Simplifier.inherit_context inherits the proof context (plus the
  6563 local bounds) of the current simplification process; any simproc
  6564 etc. that calls the Simplifier recursively should do this!  Removed
  6565 former Simplifier.inherit_bounds, which is already included here --
  6566 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Tools based on low-level rewriting may even have to
  6567 specify an explicit context using Simplifier.context/theory_context.
  6568 
  6569 * Simplifier/Classical Reasoner: more abstract interfaces
  6570 change_simpset/claset for modifying the simpset/claset reference of a
  6571 theory; raw versions simpset/claset_ref etc. have been discontinued --
  6572 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6573 
  6574 * Provers: more generic wrt. syntax of object-logics, avoid hardwired
  6575 "Trueprop" etc.
  6576 
  6577 
  6578 *** System ***
  6579 
  6580 * settings: the default heap location within ISABELLE_HOME_USER now
  6581 includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER.  This simplifies use of multiple
  6582 Isabelle installations.
  6583 
  6584 * isabelle-process: option -S (secure mode) disables some critical
  6585 operations, notably runtime compilation and evaluation of ML source
  6586 code.
  6587 
  6588 * Basic Isabelle mode for jEdit, see Isabelle/lib/jedit/.
  6589 
  6590 * Support for parallel execution, using native multicore support of
  6591 Poly/ML 5.1.  The theory loader exploits parallelism when processing
  6592 independent theories, according to the given theory header
  6593 specifications. The maximum number of worker threads is specified via
  6594 usedir option -M or the "max-threads" setting in Proof General. A
  6595 speedup factor of 1.5--3.5 can be expected on a 4-core machine, and up
  6596 to 6 on a 8-core machine.  User-code needs to observe certain
  6597 guidelines for thread-safe programming, see appendix A in the Isar
  6598 Implementation manual.

  6603 ----------------------------------
  6604 
  6605 *** General ***
  6606 
  6607 * Theory headers: the new header syntax for Isar theories is
  6608 
  6609   theory <name>
  6610   imports <theory1> ... <theoryN>
  6611   uses <file1> ... <fileM>
  6612   begin

  6614 where the 'uses' part is optional.  The previous syntax
  6615 
  6616   theory <name> = <theory1> + ... + <theoryN>:
  6617 
  6618 will disappear in the next release.  Use isatool fixheaders to convert
  6619 existing theory files.  Note that there is no change in ancient
  6620 non-Isar theories now, but these will disappear soon.
  6621 
  6622 * Theory loader: parent theories can now also be referred to via
  6623 relative and absolute paths.
  6624 
  6625 * Command 'find_theorems' searches for a list of criteria instead of a
  6626 list of constants. Known criteria are: intro, elim, dest, name:string,
  6627 simp:term, and any term. Criteria can be preceded by '-' to select
  6628 theorems that do not match. Intro, elim, dest select theorems that
  6629 match the current goal, name:s selects theorems whose fully qualified
  6630 name contain s, and simp:term selects all simplification rules whose
  6631 lhs match term.  Any other term is interpreted as pattern and selects
  6632 all theorems matching the pattern. Available in ProofGeneral under
  6633 'ProofGeneral -> Find Theorems' or C-c C-f.  Example:
  6634 
  6635   C-c C-f (100) "(_::nat) + _ + _" intro -name: "HOL."
  6636 
  6637 prints the last 100 theorems matching the pattern "(_::nat) + _ + _",
  6638 matching the current goal as introduction rule and not having "HOL."
  6639 in their name (i.e. not being defined in theory HOL).
  6640 
  6641 * Command 'thms_containing' has been discontinued in favour of
  6642 'find_theorems'; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6643 
  6644 * Communication with Proof General is now 8bit clean, which means that
  6645 Unicode text in UTF-8 encoding may be used within theory texts (both
  6646 formal and informal parts).  Cf. option -U of the Isabelle Proof
  6647 General interface.  Here are some simple examples (cf. src/HOL/ex):
  6648 
  6649   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Hebrew.html
  6650   http://isabelle.in.tum.de/library/HOL/ex/Chinese.html
  6651 
  6652 * Improved efficiency of the Simplifier and, to a lesser degree, the
  6653 Classical Reasoner.  Typical big applications run around 2 times
  6654 faster.
  6655 
  6656 
  6657 *** Document preparation ***
  6658 
  6659 * Commands 'display_drafts' and 'print_drafts' perform simple output
  6660 of raw sources.  Only those symbols that do not require additional
  6661 LaTeX packages (depending on comments in isabellesym.sty) are
  6662 displayed properly, everything else is left verbatim.  isatool display
  6663 and isatool print are used as front ends (these are subject to the
  6664 DVI/PDF_VIEWER and PRINT_COMMAND settings, respectively).
  6665 
  6666 * Command tags control specific markup of certain regions of text,
  6667 notably folding and hiding.  Predefined tags include "theory" (for
  6668 theory begin and end), "proof" for proof commands, and "ML" for
  6669 commands involving ML code; the additional tags "visible" and
  6670 "invisible" are unused by default.  Users may give explicit tag
  6671 specifications in the text, e.g. ''by %invisible (auto)''.  The
  6672 interpretation of tags is determined by the LaTeX job during document
  6673 preparation: see option -V of isatool usedir, or options -n and -t of
  6674 isatool document, or even the LaTeX macros \isakeeptag, \isafoldtag,
  6675 \isadroptag.
  6676 
  6677 Several document versions may be produced at the same time via isatool
  6678 usedir (the generated index.html will link all of them).  Typical
  6679 specifications include ''-V document=theory,proof,ML'' to present
  6680 theory/proof/ML parts faithfully, ''-V outline=/proof,/ML'' to fold
  6681 proof and ML commands, and ''-V mutilated=-theory,-proof,-ML'' to omit
  6682 these parts without any formal replacement text.  The Isabelle site
  6683 default settings produce ''document'' and ''outline'' versions as
  6684 specified above.
  6685 
  6686 * Several new antiquotations:
  6687 
  6688   @{term_type term} prints a term with its type annotated;
  6689 
  6690   @{typeof term} prints the type of a term;
  6691 
  6692   @{const const} is the same as @{term const}, but checks that the
  6693   argument is a known logical constant;
  6694 
  6695   @{term_style style term} and @{thm_style style thm} print a term or
  6696   theorem applying a "style" to it
  6697 
  6698   @{ML text}
  6699 
  6700 Predefined styles are 'lhs' and 'rhs' printing the lhs/rhs of
  6701 definitions, equations, inequations etc., 'concl' printing only the
  6702 conclusion of a meta-logical statement theorem, and 'prem1' .. 'prem19'
  6703 to print the specified premise.  TermStyle.add_style provides an ML
  6704 interface for introducing further styles.  See also the "LaTeX Sugar"
  6705 document practical applications.  The ML antiquotation prints
  6706 type-checked ML expressions verbatim.
  6707 
  6708 * Markup commands 'chapter', 'section', 'subsection', 'subsubsection',
  6709 and 'text' support optional locale specification '(in loc)', which
  6710 specifies the default context for interpreting antiquotations.  For
  6711 example: 'text (in lattice) {* @{thm inf_assoc}*}'.
  6712 
  6713 * Option 'locale=NAME' of antiquotations specifies an alternative
  6714 context interpreting the subsequent argument.  For example: @{thm
  6715 [locale=lattice] inf_assoc}.
  6716 
  6717 * Proper output of proof terms (@{prf ...} and @{full_prf ...}) within
  6718 a proof context.
  6719 
  6720 * Proper output of antiquotations for theory commands involving a
  6721 proof context (such as 'locale' or 'theorem (in loc) ...').
  6722 
  6723 * Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
  6724 macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
  6725 
  6726 * isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
  6727 -D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
  6728 prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.
  6729 
  6730 
  6731 *** Pure ***
  6732 
  6733 * Considerably improved version of 'constdefs' command.  Now performs
  6734 automatic type-inference of declared constants; additional support for
  6735 local structure declarations (cf. locales and HOL records), see also
  6736 isar-ref manual.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to observe strictly
  6737 sequential dependencies of definitions within a single 'constdefs'
  6738 section; moreover, the declared name needs to be an identifier.  If
  6739 all fails, consider to fall back on 'consts' and 'defs' separately.
  6740 
  6741 * Improved indexed syntax and implicit structures.  First of all,
  6742 indexed syntax provides a notational device for subscripted
  6743 application, using the new syntax \<^bsub>term\<^esub> for arbitrary
  6744 expressions.  Secondly, in a local context with structure
  6745 declarations, number indexes \<^sub>n or the empty index (default
  6746 number 1) refer to a certain fixed variable implicitly; option
  6747 show_structs controls printing of implicit structures.  Typical
  6748 applications of these concepts involve record types and locales.
  6749 
  6750 * New command 'no_syntax' removes grammar declarations (and
  6751 translations) resulting from the given syntax specification, which is
  6752 interpreted in the same manner as for the 'syntax' command.
  6753 
  6754 * 'Advanced' translation functions (parse_translation etc.) may depend
  6755 on the signature of the theory context being presently used for
  6756 parsing/printing, see also isar-ref manual.
  6757 
  6758 * Improved 'oracle' command provides a type-safe interface to turn an
  6759 ML expression of type theory -> T -> term into a primitive rule of
  6760 type theory -> T -> thm (i.e. the functionality of Thm.invoke_oracle
  6761 is already included here); see also FOL/ex/IffExample.thy;
  6762 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6763 
  6764 * axclass: name space prefix for class "c" is now "c_class" (was "c"
  6765 before); "cI" is no longer bound, use "c.intro" instead.
  6766 INCOMPATIBILITY.  This change avoids clashes of fact bindings for
  6767 axclasses vs. locales.
  6768 
  6769 * Improved internal renaming of symbolic identifiers -- attach primes
  6770 instead of base 26 numbers.
  6771 
  6772 * New flag show_question_marks controls printing of leading question
  6773 marks in schematic variable names.
  6774 
  6775 * In schematic variable names, *any* symbol following \<^isub> or
  6776 \<^isup> is now treated as part of the base name.  For example, the
  6777 following works without printing of awkward ".0" indexes:
  6778 
  6779   lemma "x\<^isub>1 = x\<^isub>2 ==> x\<^isub>2 = x\<^isub>1"
  6780     by simp
  6781 
  6782 * Inner syntax includes (*(*nested*) comments*).
  6783 
  6784 * Pretty printer now supports unbreakable blocks, specified in mixfix
  6785 annotations as "(00...)".
  6786 
  6787 * Clear separation of logical types and nonterminals, where the latter
  6788 may only occur in 'syntax' specifications or type abbreviations.
  6789 Before that distinction was only partially implemented via type class
  6790 "logic" vs. "{}".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare cases of improper
  6791 use of 'types'/'consts' instead of 'nonterminals'/'syntax'.  Some very
  6792 exotic syntax specifications may require further adaption
  6793 (e.g. Cube/Cube.thy).
  6794 
  6795 * Removed obsolete type class "logic", use the top sort {} instead.
  6796 Note that non-logical types should be declared as 'nonterminals'
  6797 rather than 'types'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for new object-logic
  6798 specifications.
  6799 
  6800 * Attributes 'induct' and 'cases': type or set names may now be
  6801 locally fixed variables as well.
  6802 
  6803 * Simplifier: can now control the depth to which conditional rewriting
  6804 is traced via the PG menu Isabelle -> Settings -> Trace Simp Depth
  6805 Limit.
  6806 
  6807 * Simplifier: simplification procedures may now take the current
  6808 simpset into account (cf. Simplifier.simproc(_i) / mk_simproc
  6809 interface), which is very useful for calling the Simplifier
  6810 recursively.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: the 'prems' argument of simprocs
  6811 is gone -- use prems_of_ss on the simpset instead.  Moreover, the
  6812 low-level mk_simproc no longer applies Logic.varify internally, to
  6813 allow for use in a context of fixed variables.
  6814 
  6815 * thin_tac now works even if the assumption being deleted contains !!
  6816 or ==>.  More generally, erule now works even if the major premise of
  6817 the elimination rule contains !! or ==>.
  6818 
  6819 * Method 'rules' has been renamed to 'iprover'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6820 
  6821 * Reorganized bootstrapping of the Pure theories; CPure is now derived
  6822 from Pure, which contains all common declarations already.  Both
  6823 theories are defined via plain Isabelle/Isar .thy files.
  6824 INCOMPATIBILITY: elements of CPure (such as the CPure.intro /
  6825 CPure.elim / CPure.dest attributes) now appear in the Pure name space;
  6826 use isatool fixcpure to adapt your theory and ML sources.
  6827 
  6828 * New syntax 'name(i-j, i-, i, ...)' for referring to specific
  6829 selections of theorems in named facts via index ranges.
  6830 
  6831 * 'print_theorems': in theory mode, really print the difference
  6832 wrt. the last state (works for interactive theory development only),
  6833 in proof mode print all local facts (cf. 'print_facts');
  6834 
  6835 * 'hide': option '(open)' hides only base names.
  6836 
  6837 * More efficient treatment of intermediate checkpoints in interactive
  6838 theory development.
  6839 
  6840 * Code generator is now invoked via code_module (incremental code
  6841 generation) and code_library (modular code generation, ML structures
  6842 for each theory).  INCOMPATIBILITY: new keywords 'file' and 'contains'
  6843 must be quoted when used as identifiers.
  6844 
  6845 * New 'value' command for reading, evaluating and printing terms using
  6846 the code generator.  INCOMPATIBILITY: command keyword 'value' must be
  6847 quoted when used as identifier.
  6848 
  6849 
  6850 *** Locales ***
  6851 
  6852 * New commands for the interpretation of locale expressions in
  6853 theories (1), locales (2) and proof contexts (3).  These generate
  6854 proof obligations from the expression specification.  After the
  6855 obligations have been discharged, theorems of the expression are added
  6856 to the theory, target locale or proof context.  The synopsis of the
  6857 commands is a follows:
  6858 
  6859   (1) interpretation expr inst
  6860   (2) interpretation target < expr
  6861   (3) interpret expr inst
  6862 
  6863 Interpretation in theories and proof contexts require a parameter
  6864 instantiation of terms from the current context.  This is applied to
  6865 specifications and theorems of the interpreted expression.
  6866 Interpretation in locales only permits parameter renaming through the
  6867 locale expression.  Interpretation is smart in that interpretations
  6868 that are active already do not occur in proof obligations, neither are
  6869 instantiated theorems stored in duplicate.  Use 'print_interps' to
  6870 inspect active interpretations of a particular locale.  For details,
  6871 see the Isar Reference manual.  Examples can be found in
  6872 HOL/Finite_Set.thy and HOL/Algebra/UnivPoly.thy.
  6873 
  6874 INCOMPATIBILITY: former 'instantiate' has been withdrawn, use
  6875 'interpret' instead.
  6876 
  6877 * New context element 'constrains' for adding type constraints to
  6878 parameters.
  6879 
  6880 * Context expressions: renaming of parameters with syntax
  6881 redeclaration.
  6882 
  6883 * Locale declaration: 'includes' disallowed.
  6884 
  6885 * Proper static binding of attribute syntax -- i.e. types / terms /
  6886 facts mentioned as arguments are always those of the locale definition
  6887 context, independently of the context of later invocations.  Moreover,
  6888 locale operations (renaming and type / term instantiation) are applied
  6889 to attribute arguments as expected.
  6890 
  6891 INCOMPATIBILITY of the ML interface: always pass Attrib.src instead of
  6892 actual attributes; rare situations may require Attrib.attribute to
  6893 embed those attributes into Attrib.src that lack concrete syntax.
  6894 Attribute implementations need to cooperate properly with the static
  6895 binding mechanism.  Basic parsers Args.XXX_typ/term/prop and
  6896 Attrib.XXX_thm etc. already do the right thing without further
  6897 intervention.  Only unusual applications -- such as "where" or "of"
  6898 (cf. src/Pure/Isar/attrib.ML), which process arguments depending both
  6899 on the context and the facts involved -- may have to assign parsed
  6900 values to argument tokens explicitly.
  6901 
  6902 * Changed parameter management in theorem generation for long goal
  6903 statements with 'includes'.  INCOMPATIBILITY: produces a different
  6904 theorem statement in rare situations.
  6905 
  6906 * Locale inspection command 'print_locale' omits notes elements.  Use
  6907 'print_locale!' to have them included in the output.
  6908 
  6909 
  6910 *** Provers ***
  6911 
  6912 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  6913 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  6914 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  6915 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  6916 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  6917 
  6918 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  6919 and quasi orders.
  6920 
  6921 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  6922 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  6923 
  6924 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  6925 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  6926 
  6927 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  6928 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  6929 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6930 
  6931 
  6932 *** HOL ***
  6933 
  6934 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  6935 
  6936   syntax (epsilon)
  6937     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  6938 
  6939 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  6940 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  6941 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  6942 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  6943 
  6944 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  6945 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  6946 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  6947 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  6948 
  6949 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  6950 instead of ":".
  6951 
  6952 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  6953 
  6954   Old       New
  6955   {..n(}    {..<n}
  6956   {)n..}    {n<..}
  6957   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  6958   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  6959   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  6960 
  6961 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  6962 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  6963 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  6964 
  6965   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  6966   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  6967 
  6968 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  6969 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  6970 interface.
  6971 
  6972 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  6973 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  6974 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  6975 be a tuple pattern.
  6976 
  6977 Some new syntax forms are available:
  6978 
  6979   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  6980   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  6981   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  6982   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  6983 
  6984 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  6985 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  6986 
  6987 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  6988 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  6989 (insert F x)'.
  6990 
  6991 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  6992 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  6993 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  6994 
  6995 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  6996 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  6997 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  6998 
  6999 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  7000 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  7001 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  7002 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  7003 in unstructured proof scripts.
  7004 
  7005 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  7006 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  7007 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  7008 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  7009 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  7010 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  7011 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  7012 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  7013 <record_name>_ext_type.
  7014 
  7015 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  7016 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  7017 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  7018 quite long.
  7019 
  7020 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  7021 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  7022 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  7023 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7024 
  7025 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  7026 type-variables in the term.
  7027 
  7028 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  7029 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  7030 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7031 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  7032 goals than previously.
  7033 
  7034 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  7035 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  7036 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  7037 just like y <= x.
  7038 
  7039 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  7040 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  7041 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  7042 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  7043 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  7044 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  7045 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  7046 
  7047 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  7048 
  7049 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  7050 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  7051 
  7052 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  7053 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  7054 inequalities.
  7055 
  7056 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7057 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7058 
  7059   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  7060   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  7068   mult_neg           now named mult_neg_neg
  7069   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  7070 
  7071 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  7072      
  7073      zero_le_square
  7074      not_square_less_zero 
  7075 
  7076   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:

  7083      abs_realpow_two
  7084      realpow_two_abs     
  7085 
  7086 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  7087 
  7088 * Theory List:
  7089 
  7090 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7091 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7092 
  7093   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)

  7096   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  7097 
  7098 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  7099 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  7100 
  7101 
  7102 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7103 
  7104 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  7105 integers in the reals.
  7106 
  7107 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  7108 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7109 
  7110   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  7111   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7112   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7113   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7114   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  7115 
  7116 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  7117 
  7118 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  7119 
  7120 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  7121 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  7122 
  7123   hypreal = real star
  7124   hypnat = nat star
  7125   hcomplex = complex star
  7126 
  7127 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  7128 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7129 
  7130   star_of <-- hypreal_of_real, hypnat_of_nat, hcomplex_of_complex
  7131 
  7132   starset      <-- starsetNat, starsetC

  7142   InternalFuns <-- InternalNatFuns, InternalNatFuns2, Internal{C,RC,CR}Funs
  7143 
  7144 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  7145 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7146 
  7147   add_commute <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_commute
  7148   add_assoc   <-- {hypreal,hypnat,hcomplex}_add_assocs

  7170   add_nonneg_nonneg <-- hypreal_le_add_order
  7171 
  7172 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  7173 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  7174 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7175 
  7176   STAR_UNIV_set <-- {STAR_real,NatStar_real,STARC_complex}_set
  7177   STAR_empty_set <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_empty_set
  7178   STAR_Un <-- {STAR,NatStar,STARC}_Un

  7264 
  7265 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  7266 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  7267 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  7268 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  7269 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  7270 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.
  7271 
  7272 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.
  7273 
  7274 
  7275 *** HOLCF ***
  7276 
  7277 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  7278 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  7279 type-inference.
  7280 
  7281 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  7282 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  7283 instead of exponential time).
  7284 
  7285 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  7286 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  7287 
  7288   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  7289 
  7290 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  7291 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  7292 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  7293 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  7294 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  7295 syntax and examples.
  7296 
  7297 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  7298 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  7299 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  7300 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  7301 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  7302 
  7303 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  7304 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  7305 
  7306   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  7307   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  7308   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  7309   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  7310   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  7311   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  7312 
  7313 
  7314 *** ZF ***
  7315 
  7316 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  7317 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  7318 of a homomorphism).
  7319 
  7320 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  7321 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  7322 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  7323 
  7324 
  7325 *** Cube ***
  7326 
  7327 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  7328 theories.
  7329 
  7330 
  7331 *** ML ***
  7332 
  7333 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  7334 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  7335 
  7336 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  7337 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  7338 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  7339 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  7340 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  7341 
  7342 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  7343 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  7344 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  7345 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  7346 
  7347 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  7348 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  7349 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  7350 
  7351     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  7352     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  7353     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  7354     flat xss = List.concat xss
  7355     seq fs = List.app fs
  7356     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  7357     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  7358 
  7359 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  7360 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  7361 
  7362   x |> f                f #> g
  7363   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  7364 
  7365 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  7366 
  7367   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  7368   infix 2 ?;
  7369   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  7370   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  7371 
  7372 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  7373 infix operators.
  7374 
  7375 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  7376 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  7377 example:
  7378 
  7379   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  7380     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  7381 
  7382   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  7383     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  7384 
  7385   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  7386     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  7387 
  7388   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  7389     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  7390 
  7391 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  7392 available:
  7393 
  7394   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  7395   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  7396   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  7397   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  7398 
  7399 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7400 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  7401 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  7402 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  7403 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  7404 
  7405   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  7406   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  7407   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  7408 
  7409 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  7410 
  7411   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  7412   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  7413 
  7414 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  7415 Naive rewrites:
  7416 
  7417   make_keylist = AList.make
  7418   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  7419 
  7420 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  7421   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  7422 
  7423     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  7424     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  7425 
  7426 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  7427   Naive rewrites:
  7428 
  7429     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  7430     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  7431 
  7432 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  7433 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  7434 lists.
  7435 
  7436 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  7437 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  7438 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  7439 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  7440 
  7441 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  7442 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  7443 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  7444 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  7445 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  7446 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  7447 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  7448 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  7449 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  7450 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  7451 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  7452 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  7453 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  7454 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  7455 Output.raw have no effect.
  7456 
  7457 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  7458 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  7459 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  7460 
  7461 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  7462 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  7463 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  7464 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  7465 
  7466 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  7467 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  7468 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  7469 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  7470 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  7471 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  7472 Library.sort_strings on result).
  7473 
  7474 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  7475 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  7476 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  7477 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7478 
  7479 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  7480 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  7481 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  7482 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  7483 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  7484 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  7485 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  7486 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  7487 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  7488 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  7489 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  7490 
  7491 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  7492 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  7493 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  7494 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  7495 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  7496 with earlier declarations.
  7497 
  7498 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  7499 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  7500 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7501 
  7502 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  7503 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  7504 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  7505 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  7506 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  7507 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  7508 
  7509   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  7510     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  7511 
  7512   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  7513     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  7514 
  7515   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  7516     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  7517     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  7518     Theory.merge, etc.)
  7519 
  7520 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  7521 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  7522 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  7523 
  7524 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  7525 
  7526 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  7527 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  7528 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  7529 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  7530 
  7531 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  7532 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  7533 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  7534 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  7535 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  7536 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  7537 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  7538 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7539 
  7540 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  7541 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  7542 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  7543 
  7544 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  7545 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  7546 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  7547 
  7548 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  7549 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  7550 
  7551   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7552   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  7553   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7554   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  7555 
  7556 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  7557 
  7558 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  7559 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  7560 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  7561 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  7562 (both increase the runtime).
  7563 
  7564 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  7565 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  7566 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  7567 
  7568 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  7569 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  7570 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  7571 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  7572 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  7573 for further details.
  7574 
  7575 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  7576 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  7577 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  7578 scripts for the time being.
  7579 
  7580 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  7581 generated HTML files.  For example:
  7582 
  7583   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  7584   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  7585 
  7586 
  7587 *** System ***
  7588 
  7589 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  7590 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  7591 
  7592 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  7593 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  7594 
  7595 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  7596 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  7597 
  7598 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  7599 distribution being used.
  7600 
  7601 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  7602 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  7603 theories.
  7604 
  7605 
  7606 
  7607 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  7608 --------------------------------
  7609 
  7610 *** General ***
  7611 
  7612 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  7613   Replaces linorder.ML.
  7614 
  7615 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  7616   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  7617   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  7618   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  7619   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  7620   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  7621   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  7622   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  7623   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  7624   existing theory and ML files.
  7625 
  7626 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  7627 
  7628 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  7629   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  7630   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  7631   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  7632 
  7633 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  7634   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  7635   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  7636   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  7637 
  7638 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  7639   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  7640   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  7641 
  7642 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  7643   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  7644   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  7645   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  7646   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  7647 
  7648 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  7649   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  7650 
  7651 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  7652   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  7653   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  7654 
  7655 
  7656 *** Isar ***
  7657 
  7658 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  7659   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  7660   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  7661     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  7662     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  7663     emulations.
  7664   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  7665     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  7666     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  7667 
  7668 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  7669   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  7670     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  7671     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  7672   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  7673 
  7674 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  7675   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  7676   and derived forms.
  7677 
  7678 * Locales:
  7679   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  7680     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  7681     "_axioms") in the premise.
  7682     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  7683   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  7684     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  7685   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  7686     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  7687   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  7688         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  7689     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  7690     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  7691     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  7692     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  7693     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  7694       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  7695     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  7696     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  7697     with "locale (open)".
  7698       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  7699 
  7700 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  7701   (Isar) contexts.
  7702 
  7703 
  7704 *** HOL ***
  7705 
  7706 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  7707   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  7708   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  7709   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  7710   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  7711 
  7712 * Simplifier:
  7713   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  7714     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  7715     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  7716     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  7717     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  7718   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  7719     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  7720     is solved by simplification already.
  7721 
  7722 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  7723     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  7724 
  7725 * Numerics:
  7726   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  7727     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  7728   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  7729     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  7730   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  7731     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  7732     exponentiation).
  7733 
  7734 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  7735 
  7736 * Records:
  7737   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  7738     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  7739     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  7740   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  7741     (not enabled by default).
  7742   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  7743     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  7744   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  7745 
  7746 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  7747   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  7748   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  7749 
  7750 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  7751 
  7752 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  7753 
  7754 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  7755   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  7756 
  7757 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  7758   matrix theory to linear programming.
  7759 
  7760 * Unions and Intersections:
  7761   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  7762   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  7763   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  7764   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  7765 
  7766 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  7767   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  7768   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  7769   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  7770 
  7771 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  7772   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  7773 
  7774 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  7775   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  7776 
  7777 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  7778   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  7779   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  7780 
  7781 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  7782   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  7783   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  7784   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  7785   for examples.
  7786 
  7787 
  7788 *** HOLCF ***
  7789 
  7790 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  7791 
  7792 
  7793 
  7794 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  7795 ------------------------------
  7796 
  7797 *** General ***
  7798 
  7799 * Provers/simplifier:
  7800 
  7801   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  7802     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  7803     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  7804     the order of assumptions.
  7805 
  7806     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7807 
  7808     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  7809        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  7810 
  7811         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  7812 
  7813        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  7814 
  7815         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  7816 
  7817        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  7818        kind of problem.
  7819 
  7820     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  7821        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  7822        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  7823        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  7824        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  7825        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  7826        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  7827 
  7828   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  7829 
  7830   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  7831     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  7832     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  7833     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  7834     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  7835     the simplifier would diverge.
  7836 
  7837   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  7838 
  7839   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  7840     congruence is ignored.
  7841 
  7842 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  7843   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  7844   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  7845 
  7846 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  7847 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  7848    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  7849 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  7850 
  7851 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  7852 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  7853       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  7854 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  7855 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  7856 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  7857 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  7858 
  7859 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  7860 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  7861 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  7862 assumption failed.
  7863 
  7864 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  7865 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  7866 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  7867 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  7868 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  7869 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  7870 on the old view without predicates;
  7871 
  7872 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  7873 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  7874 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  7875 
  7876 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  7877 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  7878 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  7879 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  7880 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  7881 be given (the default is 40);
  7882 
  7883 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  7884 (batch-mode only);
  7885 
  7886 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  7887 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  7888 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  7889 
  7890 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  7891 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  7892 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  7893 
  7894 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  7895 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  7896 
  7897 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  7898 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  7899 
  7900 
  7901 *** HOL ***
  7902 
  7903 * arith(_tac)
  7904 
  7905  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  7906    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  7907    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  7908    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  7909 
  7910  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  7911 
  7912  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  7913    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  7914    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  7915 
  7916 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  7917 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  7918 
  7919 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  7920 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  7921 
  7922 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  7923 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  7924 "<=", "<" and "=").
  7925 
  7926 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  7927 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  7928 
  7929 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  7930 definition;
  7931 
  7932 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  7933 Finite_Set);
  7934 
  7935 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  7936 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  7937 
  7938 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  7939   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  7940 
  7941 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  7942 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  7943 of the empty set.
  7944 
  7945 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  7946 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  7947 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  7948 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  7949 
  7950 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  7951 
  7952 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  7953 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  7954 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  7955 
  7956 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  7957 
  7958 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  7959 Fleuriot);
  7960 
  7961 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  7962 
  7963 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  7964 Gray and Kramer);
  7965 
  7966 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  7967 
  7968 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  7969 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  7970 
  7971 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  7972 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  7973 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  7974 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  7975 assignment, exceptions.
  7976 
  7977 
  7978 *** ZF ***
  7979 
  7980 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  7981 universe, etc.);
  7982 
  7983 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  7984 
  7985 
  7986 *** ML ***
  7987 
  7988 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  7989 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  7990 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  7991 
  7992 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  7993 
  7994 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  7995 up simprocs;
  7996 
  7997 
  7998 *** Document preparation ***
  7999 
  8000 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  8001 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  8002 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  8003 
  8004 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  8005 other packages
  8006 
  8007 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  8008 broke \Rightarrow)
  8009 
  8010 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  8011 textcomp package)
  8012 
  8013 
  8014 
  8015 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  8016 --------------------------------
  8017 
  8018 *** Document preparation ***
  8019 
  8020 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  8021 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  8022 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  8023 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  8024 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  8025 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  8026 
  8027 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  8028 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  8029 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  8030 
  8031 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  8032 blocks after section headings;
  8033 
  8034 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  8035 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  8036 
  8037 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  8038 better in printed text;
  8039 
  8040 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  8041 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  8042 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  8043 
  8044 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  8045 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  8046 location;
  8047 
  8048 
  8049 *** Isar ***
  8050 
  8051 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  8052   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  8053     "case (Suc n)");
  8054   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  8055     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  8056     instantiation of cases;
  8057   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  8058     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  8059     rules without further ado;
  8060   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  8061     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  8062     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  8063     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  8064     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  8065   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  8066     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  8067     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  8068     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  8069     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  8070     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  8071   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  8072     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  8073     below);
  8074   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  8075     success (no backtracking);
  8076   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  8077   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  8078   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  8079     General versions);
  8080   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  8081   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  8082 
  8083 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  8084 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  8085 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  8086 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  8087 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  8088 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  8089 fails:
  8090 
  8091   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  8092 
  8093 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  8094 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  8095 
  8096 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  8097 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  8098 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  8099 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  8100 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  8101 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  8102 some examples;
  8103 
  8104 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  8105 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  8106 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  8107 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  8108 qualified by the locale name);
  8109 
  8110 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  8111 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  8112 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  8113 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  8114 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  8115 
  8116 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  8117 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  8118 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  8119 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  8120 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  8121 
  8122 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  8123 
  8124 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  8125 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  8126 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  8127 
  8128 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  8129 
  8130 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  8131 
  8132 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  8133 
  8134 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  8135 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  8136 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  8137 
  8138 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  8139 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  8140 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  8141 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  8142 proof *scripts*;
  8143 
  8144 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  8145 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  8146 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  8147 especially important for locales);
  8148 
  8149 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  8150 mode;
  8151 
  8152 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  8153 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  8154 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  8155 situations;
  8156 
  8157 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  8158 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  8159 
  8160 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  8161 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  8162 discontinued;
  8163 
  8164 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  8165 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  8166 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  8167 
  8168 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  8169 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  8170 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  8171 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  8172 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  8173 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  8174 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8175 
  8176 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  8177 of introduction rules;
  8178 
  8179 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  8180 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  8181 conditional rules;
  8182 
  8183 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  8184 
  8185 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  8186 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  8187 
  8188 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  8189 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  8190 
  8191 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  8192 wf_induct_rule;
  8193 
  8194 
  8195 *** HOL ***
  8196 
  8197 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  8198 follows:
  8199 
  8200   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  8201   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  8202 
  8203   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  8204   binary representation internally;
  8205 
  8206   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  8207   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  8208 
  8209 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  8210 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  8211 
  8212   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  8213   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  8214   to be spaced properly;
  8215 
  8216   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  8217   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  8218 
  8219   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  8220 
  8221   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  8222 
  8223 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  8224 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  8225 
  8226 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  8227 
  8228 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  8229 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  8230 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  8231 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  8232 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  8233 
  8234 * HOL/record package improvements:
  8235   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  8236     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  8237     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  8238     declared as simp by default;
  8239   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  8240     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8241   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  8242     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8243   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8244   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  8245     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  8246     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  8247   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  8248     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  8249 
  8250 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  8251 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  8252 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  8253 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  8254 
  8255 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  8256 
  8257 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  8258         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  8259         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  8260 
  8261 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  8262 (beware of argument permutation!);
  8263 
  8264 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  8265 
  8266 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  8267 
  8268 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  8269 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  8270   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  8271 
  8272 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  8273 in this (rare) case use:
  8274 
  8275   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  8276   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  8277 
  8278 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  8279 MAY FAIL;
  8280 
  8281 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  8282 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  8283 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  8284 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  8285 
  8286 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  8287 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  8288 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  8289 
  8290 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  8291 expressions;
  8292 
  8293 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  8294 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8295 
  8296 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8297 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  8298 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  8299 
  8300 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  8301 
  8302 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  8303 the "cases" method);
  8304 
  8305 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  8306 Florian Kammller);
  8307 
  8308 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  8309 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  8310 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  8311 
  8312 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  8313 
  8314 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  8315 
  8316 
  8317 *** HOLCF ***
  8318 
  8319 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  8320 operations;
  8321 
  8322 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  8323 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  8324 
  8325 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  8326 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  8327 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  8328 
  8329 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  8330 
  8331 
  8332 *** ZF ***
  8333 
  8334 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  8335 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  8336 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  8337 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  8338 
  8339 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  8340 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  8341 
  8342 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  8343 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  8344 
  8345 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  8346 typeless version of the formalism;
  8347 
  8348 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  8349 format;
  8350 
  8351 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  8352 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  8353 new-style theory format;
  8354 
  8355 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  8356 
  8357 
  8358 *** General ***
  8359 
  8360 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  8361 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  8362 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  8363 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  8364 
  8365 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  8366 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  8367 
  8368 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  8369 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  8370 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  8371 properly;
  8372 
  8373 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  8374 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  8375 
  8376 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  8377 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  8378 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  8379 type variable);
  8380 
  8381 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  8382 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  8383 "type_brackets";
  8384 
  8385 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  8386 tokens into AST constants;
  8387 
  8388 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  8389 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  8390 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  8391 
  8392 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  8393 practice);
  8394 
  8395 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  8396 addSafter;
  8397 
  8398 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  8399 as well;
  8400 
  8401 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  8402 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  8403 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  8404 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  8405 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  8406 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  8407 
  8408 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  8409 
  8410 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  8411 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  8412 
  8413 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  8414 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  8415 
  8416 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  8417 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  8418 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  8419 
  8420 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  8421 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  8422 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  8423 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  8424 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  8425 
  8426 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  8427 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  8428 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  8429 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  8430 
  8431 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  8432 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  8433 terminal);
  8434 
  8435 
  8436 
  8437 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  8438 -----------------------------------
  8439 
  8440 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8441 
  8442 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  8443 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  8444 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  8445 
  8446 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  8447 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  8448 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  8449 'split_rule (complete)';
  8450 
  8451 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  8452 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  8453 
  8454 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  8455 
  8456 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  8457 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  8458 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  8459 
  8460 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  8461 operation;
  8462 
  8463 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  8464 
  8465 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  8466 
  8467 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  8468 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  8469 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  8470 
  8471 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  8472 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  8473 
  8474 
  8475 *** Document preparation ***
  8476 
  8477 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  8478 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  8479 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  8480 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  8481 type-writer);
  8482 
  8483 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  8484 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  8485 
  8486 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  8487 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  8488 
  8489 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  8490 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  8491 definitions);
  8492 
  8493 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  8494 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  8495 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  8496 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  8497 
  8498 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  8499 fonts;
  8500 
  8501 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  8502 generation;
  8503 
  8504 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  8505 
  8506 
  8507 *** Isar ***
  8508 
  8509 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  8510 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  8511 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  8512 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  8513 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  8514 
  8515 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  8516 rules as well;
  8517 
  8518 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  8519 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  8520 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  8521 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  8522 
  8523 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  8524 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  8525 
  8526 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  8527 statements as well;
  8528 
  8529 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  8530 
  8531 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  8532 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  8533 
  8534 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  8535 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  8536 
  8537 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  8538 
  8539 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  8540 
  8541 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  8542 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  8543 
  8544 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  8545 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  8546 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  8547 
  8548 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  8549 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  8550 the result to be shown in each case;
  8551 
  8552 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  8553 
  8554 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  8555 
  8556 
  8557 *** HOL ***
  8558 
  8559 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  8560 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  8561 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  8562 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  8563 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  8564 
  8565 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  8566 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  8567 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  8568 
  8569 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  8570 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  8571 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  8572 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  8573 literature;
  8574 
  8575 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  8576 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  8577 operator \<Sum>;
  8578 
  8579 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  8580 HOL/subset.thy);
  8581 
  8582 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  8583 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  8584 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  8585 
  8586 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  8587 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  8588 
  8589 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  8590 rules with string literals);
  8591 
  8592 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  8593  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  8594  functions for the reals;
  8595 
  8596 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  8597 
  8598 
  8599 *** CTT ***
  8600 
  8601 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
  8602 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
  8603 
  8604 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
  8605 and Arith);
  8606 
  8607 
  8608 *** General ***
  8609 
  8610 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
  8611 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
  8612 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
  8613 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
  8614 
  8615 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
  8616 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
  8617 
  8618 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
  8619 as assumptions as well;
  8620 
  8621 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
  8622 
  8623 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
  8624 
  8625 
  8626 
  8627 New in Isabelle99-1 (October 2000)
  8628 ----------------------------------
  8629 
  8630 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  8631 
  8632 * HOL: simplification of natural numbers is much changed; to partly
  8633 recover the old behaviour (e.g. to prevent n+n rewriting to #2*n)
  8634 issue the following ML commands:
  8635 
  8636   Delsimprocs Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.cancel_numerals;
  8637   Delsimprocs [Nat_Numeral_Simprocs.combine_numerals];
  8638 
  8639 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions; this is
  8640 controlled by "t.weak_case_cong" for each datatype t;
  8641 
  8642 * HOL: nat_less_induct renamed to less_induct;
  8643 
  8644 * HOL: systematic renaming of the SOME (Eps) rules, may use isatool
  8645 fixsome to patch .thy and .ML sources automatically;
  8646 
  8647   select_equality  -> some_equality
  8648   select_eq_Ex     -> some_eq_ex
  8649   selectI2EX       -> someI2_ex
  8650   selectI2         -> someI2
  8651   selectI          -> someI
  8652   select1_equality -> some1_equality
  8653   Eps_sym_eq       -> some_sym_eq_trivial
  8654   Eps_eq           -> some_eq_trivial
  8655 
  8656 * HOL: exhaust_tac on datatypes superceded by new generic case_tac;
  8657 
  8658 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem binding expand_if (refer to split_if
  8659 instead);
  8660 
  8661 * HOL: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' are now called
  8662 f.simps instead of f.rules;
  8663 
  8664 * HOL: qed_spec_mp now also handles bounded ALL as well;
  8665 
  8666 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded, so the type constraint ":: nat" may
  8667 sometimes be needed;
  8668 
  8669 * HOL: the constant for "f``x" is now "image" rather than "op ``";
  8670 
  8671 * HOL: the constant for "f-``x" is now "vimage" rather than "op -``";
  8672 
  8673 * HOL: the disjoint sum is now "<+>" instead of "Plus"; the cartesian
  8674 product is now "<*>" instead of "Times"; the lexicographic product is
  8675 now "<*lex*>" instead of "**";
  8676 
  8677 * HOL: theory Sexp is now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part
  8678 of main HOL, but was unused); better use HOL's datatype package;
  8679 
  8680 * HOL: removed "symbols" syntax for constant "override" of theory Map;
  8681 the old syntax may be recovered as follows:
  8682 
  8683   syntax (symbols)
  8684     override  :: "('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b) => ('a ~=> 'b)"
  8685       (infixl "\\<oplus>" 100)
  8686 
  8687 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8688 
  8689 * HOL/ML: even fewer consts are declared as global (see theories Ord,
  8690 Lfp, Gfp, WF); this only affects ML packages that refer to const names
  8691 internally;
  8692 
  8693 * HOL and ZF: syntax for quotienting wrt an equivalence relation
  8694 changed from A/r to A//r;
  8695 
  8696 * ZF: new treatment of arithmetic (nat & int) may break some old
  8697 proofs;
  8698 
  8699 * Isar: renamed some attributes (RS -> THEN, simplify -> simplified,
  8700 rulify -> rule_format, elimify -> elim_format, ...);
  8701 
  8702 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8703 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (in most cases, one
  8704 should have to change intro!! to intro? only); replaced "delrule" by
  8705 "rule del";
  8706 
  8707 * Isar/HOL: renamed "intrs" to "intros" in inductive definitions;
  8708 
  8709 * Provers: strengthened force_tac by using new first_best_tac;
  8710 
  8711 * LaTeX document preparation: several changes of isabelle.sty (see
  8712 lib/texinputs);
  8713 
  8714 
  8715 *** Document preparation ***
  8716 
  8717 * formal comments (text blocks etc.) in new-style theories may now
  8718 contain antiquotations of thm/prop/term/typ/text to be presented
  8719 according to latex print mode; concrete syntax is like this:
  8720 @{term[show_types] "f(x) = a + x"};
  8721 
  8722 * isatool mkdir provides easy setup of Isabelle session directories,
  8723 including proper document sources;
  8724 
  8725 * generated LaTeX sources are now deleted after successful run
  8726 (isatool document -c); may retain a copy somewhere else via -D option
  8727 of isatool usedir;
  8728 
  8729 * isatool usedir -D now lets isatool latex -o sty update the Isabelle
  8730 style files, achieving self-contained LaTeX sources and simplifying
  8731 LaTeX debugging;
  8732 
  8733 * old-style theories now produce (crude) LaTeX output as well;
  8734 
  8735 * browser info session directories are now self-contained (may be put
  8736 on WWW server seperately); improved graphs of nested sessions; removed
  8737 graph for 'all sessions';
  8738 
  8739 * several improvements in isabelle style files; \isabellestyle{it}
  8740 produces fake math mode output; \isamarkupheader is now \section by
  8741 default; see lib/texinputs/isabelle.sty etc.;
  8742 
  8743 
  8744 *** Isar ***
  8745 
  8746 * Isar/Pure: local results and corresponding term bindings are now
  8747 subject to Hindley-Milner polymorphism (similar to ML); this
  8748 accommodates incremental type-inference very nicely;
  8749 
  8750 * Isar/Pure: new derived language element 'obtain' supports
  8751 generalized existence reasoning;
  8752 
  8753 * Isar/Pure: new calculational elements 'moreover' and 'ultimately'
  8754 support accumulation of results, without applying any rules yet;
  8755 useful to collect intermediate results without explicit name
  8756 references, and for use with transitivity rules with more than 2
  8757 premises;
  8758 
  8759 * Isar/Pure: scalable support for case-analysis type proofs: new
  8760 'case' language element refers to local contexts symbolically, as
  8761 produced by certain proof methods; internally, case names are attached
  8762 to theorems as "tags";
  8763 
  8764 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'hide' removes declarations from
  8765 class/type/const name spaces;
  8766 
  8767 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'defs' supports option "(overloaded)" to
  8768 indicate potential overloading;
  8769 
  8770 * Isar/Pure: changed syntax of local blocks from {{ }} to { };
  8771 
  8772 * Isar/Pure: syntax of sorts made 'inner', i.e. have to write
  8773 "{a,b,c}" instead of {a,b,c};
  8774 
  8775 * Isar/Pure now provides its own version of intro/elim/dest
  8776 attributes; useful for building new logics, but beware of confusion
  8777 with the version in Provers/classical;
  8778 
  8779 * Isar/Pure: the local context of (non-atomic) goals is provided via
  8780 case name 'antecedent';
  8781 
  8782 * Isar/Pure: removed obsolete 'transfer' attribute (transfer of thms
  8783 to the current context is now done automatically);
  8784 
  8785 * Isar/Pure: theory command 'method_setup' provides a simple interface
  8786 for definining proof methods in ML;
  8787 
  8788 * Isar/Provers: intro/elim/dest attributes changed; renamed
  8789 intro/intro!/intro!! flags to intro!/intro/intro? (INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  8790 most cases, one should have to change intro!! to intro? only);
  8791 replaced "delrule" by "rule del";
  8792 
  8793 * Isar/Provers: new 'hypsubst' method, plain 'subst' method and
  8794 'symmetric' attribute (the latter supercedes [RS sym]);
  8795 
  8796 * Isar/Provers: splitter support (via 'split' attribute and 'simp'
  8797 method modifier); 'simp' method: 'only:' modifier removes loopers as
  8798 well (including splits);
  8799 
  8800 * Isar/Provers: Simplifier and Classical methods now support all kind
  8801 of modifiers used in the past, including 'cong', 'iff', etc.
  8802 
  8803 * Isar/Provers: added 'fastsimp' and 'clarsimp' methods (combination
  8804 of Simplifier and Classical reasoner);
  8805 
  8806 * Isar/HOL: new proof method 'cases' and improved version of 'induct'
  8807 now support named cases; major packages (inductive, datatype, primrec,
  8808 recdef) support case names and properly name parameters;
  8809 
  8810 * Isar/HOL: new transitivity rules for substitution in inequalities --
  8811 monotonicity conditions are extracted to be proven at end of
  8812 calculations;
  8813 
  8814 * Isar/HOL: removed 'case_split' thm binding, should use 'cases' proof
  8815 method anyway;
  8816 
  8817 * Isar/HOL: removed old expand_if = split_if; theorems if_splits =
  8818 split_if split_if_asm; datatype package provides theorems foo.splits =
  8819 foo.split foo.split_asm for each datatype;
  8820 
  8821 * Isar/HOL: tuned inductive package, rename "intrs" to "intros"
  8822 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY), emulation of mk_cases feature for proof
  8823 scripts: new 'inductive_cases' command and 'ind_cases' method; (Note:
  8824 use "(cases (simplified))" method in proper proof texts);
  8825 
  8826 * Isar/HOL: added global 'arith_split' attribute for 'arith' method;
  8827 
  8828 * Isar: names of theorems etc. may be natural numbers as well;
  8829 
  8830 * Isar: 'pr' command: optional arguments for goals_limit and
  8831 ProofContext.prems_limit; no longer prints theory contexts, but only
  8832 proof states;
  8833 
  8834 * Isar: diagnostic commands 'pr', 'thm', 'prop', 'term', 'typ' admit
  8835 additional print modes to be specified; e.g. "pr(latex)" will print
  8836 proof state according to the Isabelle LaTeX style;
  8837 
  8838 * Isar: improved support for emulating tactic scripts, including proof
  8839 methods 'rule_tac' etc., 'cut_tac', 'thin_tac', 'subgoal_tac',
  8840 'rename_tac', 'rotate_tac', 'tactic', and 'case_tac' / 'induct_tac'
  8841 (for HOL datatypes);
  8842 
  8843 * Isar: simplified (more robust) goal selection of proof methods: 1st
  8844 goal, all goals, or explicit goal specifier (tactic emulation); thus
  8845 'proof method scripts' have to be in depth-first order;
  8846 
  8847 * Isar: tuned 'let' syntax: replaced 'as' keyword by 'and';
  8848 
  8849 * Isar: removed 'help' command, which hasn't been too helpful anyway;
  8850 should instead use individual commands for printing items
  8851 (print_commands, print_methods etc.);
  8852 
  8853 * Isar: added 'nothing' --- the empty list of theorems;
  8854 
  8855 
  8856 *** HOL ***
  8857 
  8858 * HOL/MicroJava: formalization of a fragment of Java, together with a
  8859 corresponding virtual machine and a specification of its bytecode
  8860 verifier and a lightweight bytecode verifier, including proofs of
  8861 type-safety; by Gerwin Klein, Tobias Nipkow, David von Oheimb, and
  8862 Cornelia Pusch (see also the homepage of project Bali at
  8863 http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Bali/);
  8864 
  8865 * HOL/Algebra: new theory of rings and univariate polynomials, by
  8866 Clemens Ballarin;
  8867 
  8868 * HOL/NumberTheory: fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Chinese
  8869 Remainder Theorem, Fermat/Euler Theorem, Wilson's Theorem, by Thomas M
  8870 Rasmussen;
  8871 
  8872 * HOL/Lattice: fundamental concepts of lattice theory and order
  8873 structures, including duals, properties of bounds versus algebraic
  8874 laws, lattice operations versus set-theoretic ones, the Knaster-Tarski
  8875 Theorem for complete lattices etc.; may also serve as a demonstration
  8876 for abstract algebraic reasoning using axiomatic type classes, and
  8877 mathematics-style proof in Isabelle/Isar; by Markus Wenzel;
  8878 
  8879 * HOL/Prolog: a (bare-bones) implementation of Lambda-Prolog, by David
  8880 von Oheimb;
  8881 
  8882 * HOL/IMPP: extension of IMP with local variables and mutually
  8883 recursive procedures, by David von Oheimb;
  8884 
  8885 * HOL/Lambda: converted into new-style theory and document;
  8886 
  8887 * HOL/ex/Multiquote: example of multiple nested quotations and
  8888 anti-quotations -- basically a generalized version of de-Bruijn
  8889 representation; very useful in avoiding lifting of operations;
  8890 
  8891 * HOL/record: added general record equality rule to simpset; fixed
  8892 select-update simplification procedure to handle extended records as
  8893 well; admit "r" as field name;
  8894 
  8895 * HOL: 0 is now overloaded over the new sort "zero", allowing its use with
  8896 other numeric types and also as the identity of groups, rings, etc.;
  8897 
  8898 * HOL: new axclass plus_ac0 for addition with the AC-laws and 0 as identity.
  8899 Types nat and int belong to this axclass;
  8900 
  8901 * HOL: greatly improved simplification involving numerals of type nat, int, real:
  8902    (i + #8 + j) = Suc k simplifies to  #7 + (i + j) = k
  8903    i*j + k + j*#3*i     simplifies to  #4*(i*j) + k
  8904   two terms #m*u and #n*u are replaced by #(m+n)*u
  8905     (where #m, #n and u can implicitly be 1; this is simproc combine_numerals)
  8906   and the term/formula #m*u+x ~~ #n*u+y simplifies simplifies to #(m-n)+x ~~ y
  8907     or x ~~ #(n-m)+y, where ~~ is one of = < <= or - (simproc cancel_numerals);
  8908 
  8909 * HOL: meson_tac is available (previously in ex/meson.ML); it is a
  8910 powerful prover for predicate logic but knows nothing of clasets; see
  8911 ex/mesontest.ML and ex/mesontest2.ML for example applications;
  8912 
  8913 * HOL: new version of "case_tac" subsumes both boolean case split and
  8914 "exhaust_tac" on datatypes; INCOMPATIBILITY: exhaust_tac no longer
  8915 exists, may define val exhaust_tac = case_tac for ad-hoc portability;
  8916 
  8917 * HOL: simplification no longer dives into case-expressions: only the
  8918 selector expression is simplified, but not the remaining arms; to
  8919 enable full simplification of case-expressions for datatype t, you may
  8920 remove t.weak_case_cong from the simpset, either globally (Delcongs
  8921 [thm"t.weak_case_cong"];) or locally (delcongs [...]).
  8922 
  8923 * HOL/recdef: the recursion equations generated by 'recdef' for
  8924 function 'f' are now called f.simps instead of f.rules; if all
  8925 termination conditions are proved automatically, these simplification
  8926 rules are added to the simpset, as in primrec; rules may be named
  8927 individually as well, resulting in a separate list of theorems for
  8928 each equation;
  8929 
  8930 * HOL/While is a new theory that provides a while-combinator. It
  8931 permits the definition of tail-recursive functions without the
  8932 provision of a termination measure. The latter is necessary once the
  8933 invariant proof rule for while is applied.
  8934 
  8935 * HOL: new (overloaded) notation for the set of elements below/above
  8936 some element: {..u}, {..u(}, {l..}, {)l..}. See theory SetInterval.
  8937 
  8938 * HOL: theorems impI, allI, ballI bound as "strip";
  8939 
  8940 * HOL: new tactic induct_thm_tac: thm -> string -> int -> tactic
  8941 induct_tac th "x1 ... xn" expects th to have a conclusion of the form
  8942 P v1 ... vn and abbreviates res_inst_tac [("v1","x1"),...,("vn","xn")] th;
  8943 
  8944 * HOL/Real: "rabs" replaced by overloaded "abs" function;
  8945 
  8946 * HOL: theory Sexp now in HOL/Induct examples (it used to be part of
  8947 main HOL, but was unused);
  8948 
  8949 * HOL: fewer consts declared as global (e.g. have to refer to
  8950 "Lfp.lfp" instead of "lfp" internally; affects ML packages only);
  8951 
  8952 * HOL: tuned AST representation of nested pairs, avoiding bogus output
  8953 in case of overlap with user translations (e.g. judgements over
  8954 tuples); (note that the underlying logical represenation is still
  8955 bogus);
  8956 
  8957 
  8958 *** ZF ***
  8959 
  8960 * ZF: simplification automatically cancels common terms in arithmetic
  8961 expressions over nat and int;
  8962 
  8963 * ZF: new treatment of nat to minimize type-checking: all operators
  8964 coerce their operands to a natural number using the function natify,
  8965 making the algebraic laws unconditional;
  8966 
  8967 * ZF: as above, for int: operators coerce their operands to an integer
  8968 using the function intify;
  8969 
  8970 * ZF: the integer library now contains many of the usual laws for the
  8971 orderings, including $<=, and monotonicity laws for $+ and $*;
  8972 
  8973 * ZF: new example ZF/ex/NatSum to demonstrate integer arithmetic
  8974 simplification;
  8975 
  8976 * FOL and ZF: AddIffs now available, giving theorems of the form P<->Q
  8977 to the simplifier and classical reasoner simultaneously;
  8978 
  8979 
  8980 *** General ***
  8981 
  8982 * Provers: blast_tac now handles actual object-logic rules as
  8983 assumptions; note that auto_tac uses blast_tac internally as well;
  8984 
  8985 * Provers: new functions rulify/rulify_no_asm: thm -> thm for turning
  8986 outer -->/All/Ball into ==>/!!; qed_spec_mp now uses rulify_no_asm;
  8987 
  8988 * Provers: delrules now handles destruct rules as well (no longer need
  8989 explicit make_elim);
  8990 
  8991 * Provers: Blast_tac now warns of and ignores "weak elimination rules" e.g.
  8992   [| inj ?f;          ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8993 use instead the strong form,
  8994   [| inj ?f; ~ ?W ==> ?f ?x = ?f ?y; ?x = ?y ==> ?W |] ==> ?W
  8995 in HOL, FOL and ZF the function cla_make_elim will create such rules
  8996 from destruct-rules;
  8997 
  8998 * Provers: Simplifier.easy_setup provides a fast path to basic
  8999 Simplifier setup for new object-logics;
  9000 
  9001 * Pure: AST translation rules no longer require constant head on LHS;
  9002 
  9003 * Pure: improved name spaces: ambiguous output is qualified; support
  9004 for hiding of names;
  9005 
  9006 * system: smart setup of canonical ML_HOME, ISABELLE_INTERFACE, and
  9007 XSYMBOL_HOME; no longer need to do manual configuration in most
  9008 situations;
  9009 
  9010 * system: compression of ML heaps images may now be controlled via -c
  9011 option of isabelle and isatool usedir (currently only observed by
  9012 Poly/ML);
  9013 
  9014 * system: isatool installfonts may handle X-Symbol fonts as well (very
  9015 useful for remote X11);
  9016 
  9017 * system: provide TAGS file for Isabelle sources;
  9018 
  9019 * ML: infix 'OF' is a version of 'MRS' with more appropriate argument
  9020 order;
  9021 
  9022 * ML: renamed flags Syntax.trace_norm_ast to Syntax.trace_ast; global
  9023 timing flag supersedes proof_timing and Toplevel.trace;
  9024 
  9025 * ML: new combinators |>> and |>>> for incremental transformations
  9026 with secondary results (e.g. certain theory extensions):
  9027 
  9028 * ML: PureThy.add_defs gets additional argument to indicate potential
  9029 overloading (usually false);
  9030 
  9031 * ML: PureThy.add_thms/add_axioms/add_defs now return theorems as
  9032 results;
  9033 
  9034 
  9035 
  9036 New in Isabelle99 (October 1999)
  9037 --------------------------------
  9038 
  9039 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9040 
  9041 * HOL: The THEN and ELSE parts of conditional expressions (if P then x else y)
  9042 are no longer simplified.  (This allows the simplifier to unfold recursive
  9043 functional programs.)  To restore the old behaviour, declare
  9044 
  9045     Delcongs [if_weak_cong];
  9046 
  9047 * HOL: Removed the obsolete syntax "Compl A"; use -A for set
  9048 complement;
  9049 
  9050 * HOL: the predicate "inj" is now defined by translation to "inj_on";
  9051 
  9052 * HOL/datatype: mutual_induct_tac no longer exists --
  9053   use induct_tac "x_1 ... x_n" instead of mutual_induct_tac ["x_1", ..., "x_n"]
  9054 
  9055 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9056 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9057 
  9058 * ZF: The con_defs part of an inductive definition may no longer refer
  9059 to constants declared in the same theory;
  9060 
  9061 * HOL, ZF: the function mk_cases, generated by the inductive
  9062 definition package, has lost an argument.  To simplify its result, it
  9063 uses the default simpset instead of a supplied list of theorems.
  9064 
  9065 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9066 
  9067 * Simplifier: the type of the infix ML functions
  9068         setSSolver addSSolver setSolver addSolver
  9069 is now  simpset * solver -> simpset  where `solver' is a new abstract type
  9070 for packaging solvers. A solver is created via
  9071         mk_solver: string -> (thm list -> int -> tactic) -> solver
  9072 where the string argument is only a comment.
  9073 
  9074 
  9075 *** Proof tools ***
  9076 
  9077 * Provers/Arith/fast_lin_arith.ML contains a functor for creating a
  9078 decision procedure for linear arithmetic. Currently it is used for
  9079 types `nat', `int', and `real' in HOL (see below); it can, should and
  9080 will be instantiated for other types and logics as well.
  9081 
  9082 * The simplifier now accepts rewrite rules with flexible heads, eg
  9083      hom ?f ==> ?f(?x+?y) = ?f ?x + ?f ?y
  9084   They are applied like any rule with a non-pattern lhs, i.e. by first-order
  9085   matching.
  9086 
  9087 
  9088 *** General ***
  9089 
  9090 * New Isabelle/Isar subsystem provides an alternative to traditional
  9091 tactical theorem proving; together with the ProofGeneral/isar user
  9092 interface it offers an interactive environment for developing human
  9093 readable proof documents (Isar == Intelligible semi-automated
  9094 reasoning); for further information see isatool doc isar-ref,
  9095 src/HOL/Isar_examples and http://isabelle.in.tum.de/Isar/
  9096 
  9097 * improved and simplified presentation of theories: better HTML markup
  9098 (including colors), graph views in several sizes; isatool usedir now
  9099 provides a proper interface for user theories (via -P option); actual
  9100 document preparation based on (PDF)LaTeX is available as well (for
  9101 new-style theories only); see isatool doc system for more information;
  9102 
  9103 * native support for Proof General, both for classic Isabelle and
  9104 Isabelle/Isar;
  9105 
  9106 * ML function thm_deps visualizes dependencies of theorems and lemmas,
  9107 using the graph browser tool;
  9108 
  9109 * Isabelle manuals now also available as PDF;
  9110 
  9111 * theory loader rewritten from scratch (may not be fully
  9112 bug-compatible); old loadpath variable has been replaced by show_path,
  9113 add_path, del_path, reset_path functions; new operations such as
  9114 update_thy, touch_thy, remove_thy, use/update_thy_only (see also
  9115 isatool doc ref);
  9116 
  9117 * improved isatool install: option -k creates KDE application icon,
  9118 option -p DIR installs standalone binaries;
  9119 
  9120 * added ML_PLATFORM setting (useful for cross-platform installations);
  9121 more robust handling of platform specific ML images for SML/NJ;
  9122 
  9123 * the settings environment is now statically scoped, i.e. it is never
  9124 created again in sub-processes invoked from isabelle, isatool, or
  9125 Isabelle;
  9126 
  9127 * path element specification '~~' refers to '$ISABELLE_HOME';
  9128 
  9129 * in locales, the "assumes" and "defines" parts may be omitted if
  9130 empty;
  9131 
  9132 * new print_mode "xsymbols" for extended symbol support (e.g. genuine
  9133 long arrows);
  9134 
  9135 * new print_mode "HTML";
  9136 
  9137 * new flag show_tags controls display of tags of theorems (which are
  9138 basically just comments that may be attached by some tools);
  9139 
  9140 * Isamode 2.6 requires patch to accomodate change of Isabelle font
  9141 mode and goal output format:
  9142 
  9143 diff -r Isamode-2.6/elisp/isa-load.el Isamode/elisp/isa-load.el
  9144 244c244
  9145 <       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9146 ---
  9147 >       (list (isa-getenv "ISABELLE") "-misabelle_font" "-msymbols" logic-name)
  9148 diff -r Isabelle-2.6/elisp/isa-proofstate.el Isamode/elisp/isa-proofstate.el
  9149 181c181
  9150 < (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+$"
  9151 ---
  9152 > (defconst proofstate-proofstart-regexp "^Level [0-9]+"
  9153 
  9154 * function bind_thms stores lists of theorems (cf. bind_thm);
  9155 
  9156 * new shorthand tactics ftac, eatac, datac, fatac;
  9157 
  9158 * qed (and friends) now accept "" as result name; in that case the
  9159 theorem is not stored, but proper checks and presentation of the
  9160 result still apply;
  9161 
  9162 * theorem database now also indexes constants "Trueprop", "all",
  9163 "==>", "=="; thus thms_containing, findI etc. may retrieve more rules;
  9164 
  9165 
  9166 *** HOL ***
  9167 
  9168 ** HOL arithmetic **
  9169 
  9170 * There are now decision procedures for linear arithmetic over nat and
  9171 int:
  9172 
  9173 1. arith_tac copes with arbitrary formulae involving `=', `<', `<=',
  9174 `+', `-', `Suc', `min', `max' and numerical constants; other subterms
  9175 are treated as atomic; subformulae not involving type `nat' or `int'
  9176 are ignored; quantified subformulae are ignored unless they are
  9177 positive universal or negative existential. The tactic has to be
  9178 invoked by hand and can be a little bit slow. In particular, the
  9179 running time is exponential in the number of occurrences of `min' and
  9180 `max', and `-' on `nat'.
  9181 
  9182 2. fast_arith_tac is a cut-down version of arith_tac: it only takes
  9183 (negated) (in)equalities among the premises and the conclusion into
  9184 account (i.e. no compound formulae) and does not know about `min' and
  9185 `max', and `-' on `nat'. It is fast and is used automatically by the
  9186 simplifier.
  9187 
  9188 NB: At the moment, these decision procedures do not cope with mixed
  9189 nat/int formulae where the two parts interact, such as `m < n ==>
  9190 int(m) < int(n)'.
  9191 
  9192 * HOL/Numeral provides a generic theory of numerals (encoded
  9193 efficiently as bit strings); setup for types nat/int/real is in place;
  9194 INCOMPATIBILITY: since numeral syntax is now polymorphic, rather than
  9195 int, existing theories and proof scripts may require a few additional
  9196 type constraints;
  9197 
  9198 * integer division and remainder can now be performed on constant
  9199 arguments;
  9200 
  9201 * many properties of integer multiplication, division and remainder
  9202 are now available;
  9203 
  9204 * An interface to the Stanford Validity Checker (SVC) is available through the
  9205 tactic svc_tac.  Propositional tautologies and theorems of linear arithmetic
  9206 are proved automatically.  SVC must be installed separately, and its results
  9207 must be TAKEN ON TRUST (Isabelle does not check the proofs, but tags any
  9208 invocation of the underlying oracle).  For SVC see
  9209   http://verify.stanford.edu/SVC
  9210 
  9211 * IsaMakefile: the HOL-Real target now builds an actual image;
  9212 
  9213 
  9214 ** HOL misc **
  9215 
  9216 * HOL/Real/HahnBanach: the Hahn-Banach theorem for real vector spaces
  9217 (in Isabelle/Isar) -- by Gertrud Bauer;
  9218 
  9219 * HOL/BCV: generic model of bytecode verification, i.e. data-flow
  9220 analysis for assembly languages with subtypes;
  9221 
  9222 * HOL/TLA (Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions): major reorganization
  9223 -- avoids syntactic ambiguities and treats state, transition, and
  9224 temporal levels more uniformly; introduces INCOMPATIBILITIES due to
  9225 changed syntax and (many) tactics;
  9226 
  9227 * HOL/inductive: Now also handles more general introduction rules such
  9228   as "ALL y. (y, x) : r --> y : acc r ==> x : acc r"; monotonicity
  9229   theorems are now maintained within the theory (maintained via the
  9230   "mono" attribute);
  9231 
  9232 * HOL/datatype: Now also handles arbitrarily branching datatypes
  9233   (using function types) such as
  9234 
  9235   datatype 'a tree = Atom 'a | Branch "nat => 'a tree"
  9236 
  9237 * HOL/record: record_simproc (part of the default simpset) takes care
  9238 of selectors applied to updated records; record_split_tac is no longer
  9239 part of the default claset; update_defs may now be removed from the
  9240 simpset in many cases; COMPATIBILITY: old behavior achieved by
  9241 
  9242   claset_ref () := claset() addSWrapper record_split_wrapper;
  9243   Delsimprocs [record_simproc]
  9244 
  9245 * HOL/typedef: fixed type inference for representing set; type
  9246 arguments now have to occur explicitly on the rhs as type constraints;
  9247 
  9248 * HOL/recdef (TFL): 'congs' syntax now expects comma separated list of theorem
  9249 names rather than an ML expression;
  9250 
  9251 * HOL/defer_recdef (TFL): like recdef but the well-founded relation can be
  9252 supplied later.  Program schemes can be defined, such as
  9253     "While B C s = (if B s then While B C (C s) else s)"
  9254 where the well-founded relation can be chosen after B and C have been given.
  9255 
  9256 * HOL/List: the constructors of type list are now Nil and Cons;
  9257 INCOMPATIBILITY: while [] and infix # syntax is still there, of
  9258 course, ML tools referring to List.list.op # etc. have to be adapted;
  9259 
  9260 * HOL_quantifiers flag superseded by "HOL" print mode, which is
  9261 disabled by default; run isabelle with option -m HOL to get back to
  9262 the original Gordon/HOL-style output;
  9263 
  9264 * HOL/Ord.thy: new bounded quantifier syntax (input only): ALL x<y. P,
  9265 ALL x<=y. P, EX x<y. P, EX x<=y. P;
  9266 
  9267 * HOL basic syntax simplified (more orthogonal): all variants of
  9268 All/Ex now support plain / symbolic / HOL notation; plain syntax for
  9269 Eps operator is provided as well: "SOME x. P[x]";
  9270 
  9271 * HOL/Sum.thy: sum_case has been moved to HOL/Datatype;
  9272 
  9273 * HOL/Univ.thy: infix syntax <*>, <+>, <**>, <+> eliminated and made
  9274 thus available for user theories;
  9275 
  9276 * HOLCF/IOA/Sequents: renamed 'Cons' to 'Consq' to avoid clash with
  9277 HOL/List; hardly an INCOMPATIBILITY since '>>' syntax is used all the
  9278 time;
  9279 
  9280 * HOL: new tactic smp_tac: int -> int -> tactic, which applies spec
  9281 several times and then mp;
  9282 
  9283 
  9284 *** LK ***
  9285 
  9286 * the notation <<...>> is now available as a notation for sequences of
  9287 formulas;
  9288 
  9289 * the simplifier is now installed
  9290 
  9291 * the axiom system has been generalized (thanks to Soren Heilmann)
  9292 
  9293 * the classical reasoner now has a default rule database
  9294 
  9295 
  9296 *** ZF ***
  9297 
  9298 * new primrec section allows primitive recursive functions to be given
  9299 directly (as in HOL) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9300 
  9301 * new tactics induct_tac and exhaust_tac for induction (or case
  9302 analysis) over datatypes and the natural numbers;
  9303 
  9304 * the datatype declaration of type T now defines the recursor T_rec;
  9305 
  9306 * simplification automatically does freeness reasoning for datatype
  9307 constructors;
  9308 
  9309 * automatic type-inference, with AddTCs command to insert new
  9310 type-checking rules;
  9311 
  9312 * datatype introduction rules are now added as Safe Introduction rules
  9313 to the claset;
  9314 
  9315 * the syntax "if P then x else y" is now available in addition to
  9316 if(P,x,y);
  9317 
  9318 
  9319 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9320 
  9321 * tuned simplifier trace output; new flag debug_simp;
  9322 
  9323 * structures Vartab / Termtab (instances of TableFun) offer efficient
  9324 tables indexed by indexname_ord / term_ord (compatible with aconv);
  9325 
  9326 * AxClass.axclass_tac lost the theory argument;
  9327 
  9328 * tuned current_goals_markers semantics: begin / end goal avoids
  9329 printing empty lines;
  9330 
  9331 * removed prs and prs_fn hook, which was broken because it did not
  9332 include \n in its semantics, forcing writeln to add one
  9333 uncoditionally; replaced prs_fn by writeln_fn; consider std_output:
  9334 string -> unit if you really want to output text without newline;
  9335 
  9336 * Symbol.output subject to print mode; INCOMPATIBILITY: defaults to
  9337 plain output, interface builders may have to enable 'isabelle_font'
  9338 mode to get Isabelle font glyphs as before;
  9339 
  9340 * refined token_translation interface; INCOMPATIBILITY: output length
  9341 now of type real instead of int;
  9342 
  9343 * theory loader actions may be traced via new ThyInfo.add_hook
  9344 interface (see src/Pure/Thy/thy_info.ML); example application: keep
  9345 your own database of information attached to *whole* theories -- as
  9346 opposed to intra-theory data slots offered via TheoryDataFun;
  9347 
  9348 * proper handling of dangling sort hypotheses (at last!);
  9349 Thm.strip_shyps and Drule.strip_shyps_warning take care of removing
  9350 extra sort hypotheses that can be witnessed from the type signature;
  9351 the force_strip_shyps flag is gone, any remaining shyps are simply
  9352 left in the theorem (with a warning issued by strip_shyps_warning);
  9353 
  9354 
  9355 
  9356 New in Isabelle98-1 (October 1998)
  9357 ----------------------------------
  9358 
  9359 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9360 
  9361 * several changes of automated proof tools;
  9362 
  9363 * HOL: major changes to the inductive and datatype packages, including
  9364 some minor incompatibilities of theory syntax;
  9365 
  9366 * HOL: renamed r^-1 to 'converse' from 'inverse'; 'inj_onto' is now
  9367 called `inj_on';
  9368 
  9369 * HOL: removed duplicate thms in Arith:
  9370   less_imp_add_less  should be replaced by  trans_less_add1
  9371   le_imp_add_le      should be replaced by  trans_le_add1
  9372 
  9373 * HOL: unary minus is now overloaded (new type constraints may be
  9374 required);
  9375 
  9376 * HOL and ZF: unary minus for integers is now #- instead of #~.  In
  9377 ZF, expressions such as n#-1 must be changed to n#- 1, since #-1 is
  9378 now taken as an integer constant.
  9379 
  9380 * Pure: ML function 'theory_of' renamed to 'theory';
  9381 
  9382 
  9383 *** Proof tools ***
  9384 
  9385 * Simplifier:
  9386   1. Asm_full_simp_tac is now more aggressive.
  9387      1. It will sometimes reorient premises if that increases their power to
  9388         simplify.
  9389      2. It does no longer proceed strictly from left to right but may also
  9390         rotate premises to achieve further simplification.
  9391      For compatibility reasons there is now Asm_lr_simp_tac which is like the
  9392      old Asm_full_simp_tac in that it does not rotate premises.
  9393   2. The simplifier now knows a little bit about nat-arithmetic.
  9394 
  9395 * Classical reasoner: wrapper mechanism for the classical reasoner now
  9396 allows for selected deletion of wrappers, by introduction of names for
  9397 wrapper functionals.  This implies that addbefore, addSbefore,
  9398 addaltern, and addSaltern now take a pair (name, tactic) as argument,
  9399 and that adding two tactics with the same name overwrites the first
  9400 one (emitting a warning).
  9401   type wrapper = (int -> tactic) -> (int -> tactic)
  9402   setWrapper, setSWrapper, compWrapper and compSWrapper are replaced by
  9403   addWrapper, addSWrapper: claset * (string * wrapper) -> claset
  9404   delWrapper, delSWrapper: claset *  string            -> claset
  9405   getWrapper is renamed to appWrappers, getSWrapper to appSWrappers;
  9406 
  9407 * Classical reasoner: addbefore/addSbefore now have APPEND/ORELSE
  9408 semantics; addbefore now affects only the unsafe part of step_tac
  9409 etc.; this affects addss/auto_tac/force_tac, so EXISTING PROOFS MAY
  9410 FAIL, but proofs should be fixable easily, e.g. by replacing Auto_tac
  9411 by Force_tac;
  9412 
  9413 * Classical reasoner: setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to
  9414 compWrapper; added safe wrapper (and access functions for it);
  9415 
  9416 * HOL/split_all_tac is now much faster and fails if there is nothing
  9417 to split.  Some EXISTING PROOFS MAY REQUIRE ADAPTION because the order
  9418 and the names of the automatically generated variables have changed.
  9419 split_all_tac has moved within claset() from unsafe wrappers to safe
  9420 wrappers, which means that !!-bound variables are split much more
  9421 aggressively, and safe_tac and clarify_tac now split such variables.
  9422 If this splitting is not appropriate, use delSWrapper "split_all_tac".
  9423 Note: the same holds for record_split_tac, which does the job of
  9424 split_all_tac for record fields.
  9425 
  9426 * HOL/Simplifier: Rewrite rules for case distinctions can now be added
  9427 permanently to the default simpset using Addsplits just like
  9428 Addsimps. They can be removed via Delsplits just like
  9429 Delsimps. Lower-case versions are also available.
  9430 
  9431 * HOL/Simplifier: The rule split_if is now part of the default
  9432 simpset. This means that the simplifier will eliminate all occurrences
  9433 of if-then-else in the conclusion of a goal. To prevent this, you can
  9434 either remove split_if completely from the default simpset by
  9435 `Delsplits [split_if]' or remove it in a specific call of the
  9436 simplifier using `... delsplits [split_if]'.  You can also add/delete
  9437 other case splitting rules to/from the default simpset: every datatype
  9438 generates suitable rules `split_t_case' and `split_t_case_asm' (where
  9439 t is the name of the datatype).
  9440 
  9441 * Classical reasoner / Simplifier combination: new force_tac (and
  9442 derivatives Force_tac, force) combines rewriting and classical
  9443 reasoning (and whatever other tools) similarly to auto_tac, but is
  9444 aimed to solve the given subgoal completely.
  9445 
  9446 
  9447 *** General ***
  9448 
  9449 * new top-level commands `Goal' and `Goalw' that improve upon `goal'
  9450 and `goalw': the theory is no longer needed as an explicit argument -
  9451 the current theory context is used; assumptions are no longer returned
  9452 at the ML-level unless one of them starts with ==> or !!; it is
  9453 recommended to convert to these new commands using isatool fixgoal
  9454 (backup your sources first!);
  9455 
  9456 * new top-level commands 'thm' and 'thms' for retrieving theorems from
  9457 the current theory context, and 'theory' to lookup stored theories;
  9458 
  9459 * new theory section 'locale' for declaring constants, assumptions and
  9460 definitions that have local scope;
  9461 
  9462 * new theory section 'nonterminals' for purely syntactic types;
  9463 
  9464 * new theory section 'setup' for generic ML setup functions
  9465 (e.g. package initialization);
  9466 
  9467 * the distribution now includes Isabelle icons: see
  9468 lib/logo/isabelle-{small,tiny}.xpm;
  9469 
  9470 * isatool install - install binaries with absolute references to
  9471 ISABELLE_HOME/bin;
  9472 
  9473 * isatool logo -- create instances of the Isabelle logo (as EPS);
  9474 
  9475 * print mode 'emacs' reserved for Isamode;
  9476 
  9477 * support multiple print (ast) translations per constant name;
  9478 
  9479 * theorems involving oracles are now printed with a suffixed [!];
  9480 
  9481 
  9482 *** HOL ***
  9483 
  9484 * there is now a tutorial on Isabelle/HOL (do 'isatool doc tutorial');
  9485 
  9486 * HOL/inductive package reorganized and improved: now supports mutual
  9487 definitions such as
  9488 
  9489   inductive EVEN ODD
  9490     intrs
  9491       null "0 : EVEN"
  9492       oddI "n : EVEN ==> Suc n : ODD"
  9493       evenI "n : ODD ==> Suc n : EVEN"
  9494 
  9495 new theorem list "elims" contains an elimination rule for each of the
  9496 recursive sets; inductive definitions now handle disjunctive premises
  9497 correctly (also ZF);
  9498 
  9499 INCOMPATIBILITIES: requires Inductive as an ancestor; component
  9500 "mutual_induct" no longer exists - the induction rule is always
  9501 contained in "induct";
  9502 
  9503 
  9504 * HOL/datatype package re-implemented and greatly improved: now
  9505 supports mutually recursive datatypes such as
  9506 
  9507   datatype
  9508     'a aexp = IF_THEN_ELSE ('a bexp) ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9509             | SUM ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9510             | DIFF ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9511             | NUM 'a
  9512   and
  9513     'a bexp = LESS ('a aexp) ('a aexp)
  9514             | AND ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9515             | OR ('a bexp) ('a bexp)
  9516 
  9517 as well as indirectly recursive datatypes such as
  9518 
  9519   datatype
  9520     ('a, 'b) term = Var 'a
  9521                   | App 'b ((('a, 'b) term) list)
  9522 
  9523 The new tactic  mutual_induct_tac [<var_1>, ..., <var_n>] i  performs
  9524 induction on mutually / indirectly recursive datatypes.
  9525 
  9526 Primrec equations are now stored in theory and can be accessed via
  9527 <function_name>.simps.
  9528 
  9529 INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9530 
  9531   - Theories using datatypes must now have theory Datatype as an
  9532     ancestor.
  9533   - The specific <typename>.induct_tac no longer exists - use the
  9534     generic induct_tac instead.
  9535   - natE has been renamed to nat.exhaust - use exhaust_tac
  9536     instead of res_inst_tac ... natE. Note that the variable
  9537     names in nat.exhaust differ from the names in natE, this
  9538     may cause some "fragile" proofs to fail.
  9539   - The theorems split_<typename>_case and split_<typename>_case_asm
  9540     have been renamed to <typename>.split and <typename>.split_asm.
  9541   - Since default sorts of type variables are now handled correctly,
  9542     some datatype definitions may have to be annotated with explicit
  9543     sort constraints.
  9544   - Primrec definitions no longer require function name and type
  9545     of recursive argument.
  9546 
  9547 Consider using isatool fixdatatype to adapt your theories and proof
  9548 scripts to the new package (backup your sources first!).
  9549 
  9550 
  9551 * HOL/record package: considerably improved implementation; now
  9552 includes concrete syntax for record types, terms, updates; theorems
  9553 for surjective pairing and splitting !!-bound record variables; proof
  9554 support is as follows:
  9555 
  9556   1) standard conversions (selectors or updates applied to record
  9557 constructor terms) are part of the standard simpset;
  9558 
  9559   2) inject equations of the form ((x, y) = (x', y')) == x=x' & y=y' are
  9560 made part of standard simpset and claset via addIffs;
  9561 
  9562   3) a tactic for record field splitting (record_split_tac) is part of
  9563 the standard claset (addSWrapper);
  9564 
  9565 To get a better idea about these rules you may retrieve them via
  9566 something like 'thms "foo.simps"' or 'thms "foo.iffs"', where "foo" is
  9567 the name of your record type.
  9568 
  9569 The split tactic 3) conceptually simplifies by the following rule:
  9570 
  9571   "(!!x. PROP ?P x) == (!!a b. PROP ?P (a, b))"
  9572 
  9573 Thus any record variable that is bound by meta-all will automatically
  9574 blow up into some record constructor term, consequently the
  9575 simplifications of 1), 2) apply.  Thus force_tac, auto_tac etc. shall
  9576 solve record problems automatically.
  9577 
  9578 
  9579 * reorganized the main HOL image: HOL/Integ and String loaded by
  9580 default; theory Main includes everything;
  9581 
  9582 * automatic simplification of integer sums and comparisons, using cancellation;
  9583 
  9584 * added option_map_eq_Some and not_Some_eq to the default simpset and claset;
  9585 
  9586 * added disj_not1 = "(~P | Q) = (P --> Q)" to the default simpset;
  9587 
  9588 * many new identities for unions, intersections, set difference, etc.;
  9589 
  9590 * expand_if, expand_split, expand_sum_case and expand_nat_case are now
  9591 called split_if, split_split, split_sum_case and split_nat_case (to go
  9592 with add/delsplits);
  9593 
  9594 * HOL/Prod introduces simplification procedure unit_eq_proc rewriting
  9595 (?x::unit) = (); this is made part of the default simpset, which COULD
  9596 MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL under rare circumstances (consider
  9597 'Delsimprocs [unit_eq_proc];' as last resort); also note that
  9598 unit_abs_eta_conv is added in order to counter the effect of
  9599 unit_eq_proc on (%u::unit. f u), replacing it by f rather than by
  9600 %u.f();
  9601 
  9602 * HOL/Fun INCOMPATIBILITY: `inj_onto' is now called `inj_on' (which
  9603 makes more sense);
  9604 
  9605 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9606   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9607   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9608 
  9609 * HOL/Relation INCOMPATIBILITY: renamed the relational operator r^-1
  9610 to 'converse' from 'inverse' (for compatibility with ZF and some
  9611 literature);
  9612 
  9613 * HOL/recdef can now declare non-recursive functions, with {} supplied as
  9614 the well-founded relation;
  9615 
  9616 * HOL/Set INCOMPATIBILITY: the complement of set A is now written -A instead of
  9617     Compl A.  The "Compl" syntax remains available as input syntax for this
  9618     release ONLY.
  9619 
  9620 * HOL/Update: new theory of function updates:
  9621     f(a:=b) == %x. if x=a then b else f x
  9622 may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9623 
  9624 * HOL/Vimage: new theory for inverse image of a function, syntax f-``B;
  9625 
  9626 * HOL/List:
  9627   - new function list_update written xs[i:=v] that updates the i-th
  9628     list position. May also be iterated as in xs[i:=a,j:=b,...].
  9629   - new function `upt' written [i..j(] which generates the list
  9630     [i,i+1,...,j-1], i.e. the upper bound is excluded. To include the upper
  9631     bound write [i..j], which is a shorthand for [i..j+1(].
  9632   - new lexicographic orderings and corresponding wellfoundedness theorems.
  9633 
  9634 * HOL/Arith:
  9635   - removed 'pred' (predecessor) function;
  9636   - generalized some theorems about n-1;
  9637   - many new laws about "div" and "mod";
  9638   - new laws about greatest common divisors (see theory ex/Primes);
  9639 
  9640 * HOL/Relation: renamed the relational operator r^-1 "converse"
  9641 instead of "inverse";
  9642 
  9643 * HOL/Induct/Multiset: a theory of multisets, including the wellfoundedness
  9644   of the multiset ordering;
  9645 
  9646 * directory HOL/Real: a construction of the reals using Dedekind cuts
  9647   (not included by default);
  9648 
  9649 * directory HOL/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY formalism;
  9650 
  9651 * directory HOL/Hoare: a new version of Hoare logic which permits many-sorted
  9652   programs, i.e. different program variables may have different types.
  9653 
  9654 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9655   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9656   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9657 
  9658 
  9659 *** ZF ***
  9660 
  9661 * theory Main includes everything; INCOMPATIBILITY: theory ZF.thy contains
  9662   only the theorems proved on ZF.ML;
  9663 
  9664 * ZF INCOMPATIBILITY: rule `equals0D' is now a well-formed destruct rule;
  9665   It and 'sym RS equals0D' are now in the default  claset, giving automatic
  9666   disjointness reasoning but breaking a few old proofs.
  9667 
  9668 * ZF/Update: new theory of function updates
  9669     with default rewrite rule  f(x:=y) ` z = if(z=x, y, f`z)
  9670   may also be iterated as in f(a:=b,c:=d,...);
  9671 
  9672 * in  let x=t in u(x), neither t nor u(x) has to be an FOL term.
  9673 
  9674 * calling (stac rew i) now fails if "rew" has no effect on the goal
  9675   [previously, this check worked only if the rewrite rule was unconditional]
  9676   Now rew can involve either definitions or equalities (either == or =).
  9677 
  9678 * case_tac provided for compatibility with HOL
  9679     (like the old excluded_middle_tac, but with subgoals swapped)
  9680 
  9681 
  9682 *** Internal programming interfaces ***
  9683 
  9684 * Pure: several new basic modules made available for general use, see
  9685 also src/Pure/README;
  9686 
  9687 * improved the theory data mechanism to support encapsulation (data
  9688 kind name replaced by private Object.kind, acting as authorization
  9689 key); new type-safe user interface via functor TheoryDataFun; generic
  9690 print_data function becomes basically useless;
  9691 
  9692 * removed global_names compatibility flag -- all theory declarations
  9693 are qualified by default;
  9694 
  9695 * module Pure/Syntax now offers quote / antiquote translation
  9696 functions (useful for Hoare logic etc. with implicit dependencies);
  9697 see HOL/ex/Antiquote for an example use;
  9698 
  9699 * Simplifier now offers conversions (asm_)(full_)rewrite: simpset ->
  9700 cterm -> thm;
  9701 
  9702 * new tactical CHANGED_GOAL for checking that a tactic modifies a
  9703 subgoal;
  9704 
  9705 * Display.print_goals function moved to Locale.print_goals;
  9706 
  9707 * standard print function for goals supports current_goals_markers
  9708 variable for marking begin of proof, end of proof, start of goal; the
  9709 default is ("", "", ""); setting current_goals_markers := ("<proof>",
  9710 "</proof>", "<goal>") causes SGML like tagged proof state printing,
  9711 for example;
  9712 
  9713 
  9714 
  9715 New in Isabelle98 (January 1998)
  9716 --------------------------------
  9717 
  9718 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES (see below for more details) ***
  9719 
  9720 * changed lexical syntax of terms / types: dots made part of long
  9721 identifiers, e.g. "%x.x" no longer possible, should be "%x. x";
  9722 
  9723 * simpset (and claset) reference variable replaced by functions
  9724 simpset / simpset_ref;
  9725 
  9726 * no longer supports theory aliases (via merge) and non-trivial
  9727 implicit merge of thms' signatures;
  9728 
  9729 * most internal names of constants changed due to qualified names;
  9730 
  9731 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML);
  9732 
  9733 
  9734 *** General Changes ***
  9735 
  9736 * hierachically structured name spaces (for consts, types, axms, thms
  9737 etc.); new lexical class 'longid' (e.g. Foo.bar.x) may render much of
  9738 old input syntactically incorrect (e.g. "%x.x"); COMPATIBILITY:
  9739 isatool fixdots ensures space after dots (e.g. "%x. x"); set
  9740 long_names for fully qualified output names; NOTE: ML programs
  9741 (special tactics, packages etc.) referring to internal names may have
  9742 to be adapted to cope with fully qualified names; in case of severe
  9743 backward campatibility problems try setting 'global_names' at compile
  9744 time to have enrything declared within a flat name space; one may also
  9745 fine tune name declarations in theories via the 'global' and 'local'
  9746 section;
  9747 
  9748 * reimplemented the implicit simpset and claset using the new anytype
  9749 data filed in signatures; references simpset:simpset ref etc. are
  9750 replaced by functions simpset:unit->simpset and
  9751 simpset_ref:unit->simpset ref; COMPATIBILITY: use isatool fixclasimp
  9752 to patch your ML files accordingly;
  9753 
  9754 * HTML output now includes theory graph data for display with Java
  9755 applet or isatool browser; data generated automatically via isatool
  9756 usedir (see -i option, ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS);
  9757 
  9758 * defs may now be conditional; improved rewrite_goals_tac to handle
  9759 conditional equations;
  9760 
  9761 * defs now admits additional type arguments, using TYPE('a) syntax;
  9762 
  9763 * theory aliases via merge (e.g. M=A+B+C) no longer supported, always
  9764 creates a new theory node; implicit merge of thms' signatures is
  9765 restricted to 'trivial' ones; COMPATIBILITY: one may have to use
  9766 transfer:theory->thm->thm in (rare) cases;
  9767 
  9768 * improved handling of draft signatures / theories; draft thms (and
  9769 ctyps, cterms) are automatically promoted to real ones;
  9770 
  9771 * slightly changed interfaces for oracles: admit many per theory, named
  9772 (e.g. oracle foo = mlfun), additional name argument for invoke_oracle;
  9773 
  9774 * print_goals: optional output of const types (set show_consts and
  9775 show_types);
  9776 
  9777 * improved output of warnings (###) and errors (***);
  9778 
  9779 * subgoal_tac displays a warning if the new subgoal has type variables;
  9780 
  9781 * removed old README and Makefiles;
  9782 
  9783 * replaced print_goals_ref hook by print_current_goals_fn and result_error_fn;
  9784 
  9785 * removed obsolete init_pps and init_database;
  9786 
  9787 * deleted the obsolete tactical STATE, which was declared by
  9788     fun STATE tacfun st = tacfun st st;
  9789 
  9790 * cd and use now support path variables, e.g. $ISABELLE_HOME, or ~
  9791 (which abbreviates $HOME);
  9792 
  9793 * changed Pure/Sequence interface (see Pure/seq.ML); COMPATIBILITY:
  9794 use isatool fixseq to adapt your ML programs (this works for fully
  9795 qualified references to the Sequence structure only!);
  9796 
  9797 * use_thy no longer requires writable current directory; it always
  9798 reloads .ML *and* .thy file, if either one is out of date;
  9799 
  9800 
  9801 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9802 
  9803 * Clarify_tac, clarify_tac, clarify_step_tac, Clarify_step_tac: new
  9804 tactics that use classical reasoning to simplify a subgoal without
  9805 splitting it into several subgoals;
  9806 
  9807 * Safe_tac: like safe_tac but uses the default claset;
  9808 
  9809 
  9810 *** Simplifier ***
  9811 
  9812 * added simplification meta rules:
  9813     (asm_)(full_)simplify: simpset -> thm -> thm;
  9814 
  9815 * simplifier.ML no longer part of Pure -- has to be loaded by object
  9816 logics (again);
  9817 
  9818 * added prems argument to simplification procedures;
  9819 
  9820 * HOL, FOL, ZF: added infix function `addsplits':
  9821   instead of `<simpset> setloop (split_tac <thms>)'
  9822   you can simply write `<simpset> addsplits <thms>'
  9823 
  9824 
  9825 *** Syntax ***
  9826 
  9827 * TYPE('a) syntax for type reflection terms;
  9828 
  9829 * no longer handles consts with name "" -- declare as 'syntax' instead;
  9830 
  9831 * pretty printer: changed order of mixfix annotation preference (again!);
  9832 
  9833 * Pure: fixed idt/idts vs. pttrn/pttrns syntactic categories;
  9834 
  9835 
  9836 *** HOL ***
  9837 
  9838 * HOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9839   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9840 
  9841 * HOL/TLA: Stephan Merz's formalization of Lamport's Temporal Logic of Actions;
  9842 
  9843 * HOL/Auth: new protocol proofs including some for the Internet
  9844   protocol TLS;
  9845 
  9846 * HOL/Map: new theory of `maps' a la VDM;
  9847 
  9848 * HOL/simplifier: simplification procedures nat_cancel_sums for
  9849 cancelling out common nat summands from =, <, <= (in)equalities, or
  9850 differences; simplification procedures nat_cancel_factor for
  9851 cancelling common factor from =, <, <= (in)equalities over natural
  9852 sums; nat_cancel contains both kinds of procedures, it is installed by
  9853 default in Arith.thy -- this COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS FAIL;
  9854 
  9855 * HOL/simplifier: terms of the form
  9856   `? x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x)'  (or t=x)
  9857   are rewritten to
  9858   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t)',
  9859   and those of the form
  9860   `! x. P1(x) & ... & Pn(x) & x=t & Q1(x) & ... Qn(x) --> R(x)'  (or t=x)
  9861   are rewritten to
  9862   `P1(t) & ... & Pn(t) & Q1(t) & ... Qn(t) --> R(t)',
  9863 
  9864 * HOL/datatype
  9865   Each datatype `t' now comes with a theorem `split_t_case' of the form
  9866 
  9867   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9868      ( (!y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 --> P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) &
  9869         ...
  9870        (!y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn --> P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9871      )
  9872 
  9873   and a theorem `split_t_case_asm' of the form
  9874 
  9875   P(t_case f1 ... fn x) =
  9876     ~( (? y1 ... ym1. x = C1 y1 ... ym1 & ~P(f1 y1 ... ym1)) |
  9877         ...
  9878        (? y1 ... ymn. x = Cn y1 ... ymn & ~P(f1 y1 ... ymn))
  9879      )
  9880   which can be added to a simpset via `addsplits'. The existing theorems
  9881   expand_list_case and expand_option_case have been renamed to
  9882   split_list_case and split_option_case.
  9883 
  9884 * HOL/Arithmetic:
  9885   - `pred n' is automatically converted to `n-1'.
  9886     Users are strongly encouraged not to use `pred' any longer,
  9887     because it will disappear altogether at some point.
  9888   - Users are strongly encouraged to write "0 < n" rather than
  9889     "n ~= 0". Theorems and proof tools have been modified towards this
  9890     `standard'.
  9891 
  9892 * HOL/Lists:
  9893   the function "set_of_list" has been renamed "set" (and its theorems too);
  9894   the function "nth" now takes its arguments in the reverse order and
  9895   has acquired the infix notation "!" as in "xs!n".
  9896 
  9897 * HOL/Set: UNIV is now a constant and is no longer translated to Compl{};
  9898 
  9899 * HOL/Set: The operator (UN x.B x) now abbreviates (UN x:UNIV. B x) and its
  9900   specialist theorems (like UN1_I) are gone.  Similarly for (INT x.B x);
  9901 
  9902 * HOL/record: extensible records with schematic structural subtyping
  9903 (single inheritance); EXPERIMENTAL version demonstrating the encoding,
  9904 still lacks various theorems and concrete record syntax;
  9905 
  9906 
  9907 *** HOLCF ***
  9908 
  9909 * removed "axioms" and "generated by" sections;
  9910 
  9911 * replaced "ops" section by extended "consts" section, which is capable of
  9912   handling the continuous function space "->" directly;
  9913 
  9914 * domain package:
  9915   . proves theorems immediately and stores them in the theory,
  9916   . creates hierachical name space,
  9917   . now uses normal mixfix annotations (instead of cinfix...),
  9918   . minor changes to some names and values (for consistency),
  9919   . e.g. cases -> casedist, dists_eq -> dist_eqs, [take_lemma] -> take_lemmas,
  9920   . separator between mutual domain defs: changed "," to "and",
  9921   . improved handling of sort constraints;  now they have to
  9922     appear on the left-hand side of the equations only;
  9923 
  9924 * fixed LAM <x,y,zs>.b syntax;
  9925 
  9926 * added extended adm_tac to simplifier in HOLCF -- can now discharge
  9927 adm (%x. P (t x)), where P is chainfinite and t continuous;
  9928 
  9929 
  9930 *** FOL and ZF ***
  9931 
  9932 * FOL: there is a new splitter `split_asm_tac' that can be used e.g.
  9933   with `addloop' of the simplifier to faciliate case splitting in premises.
  9934 
  9935 * qed_spec_mp, qed_goal_spec_mp, qed_goalw_spec_mp are available, as
  9936 in HOL, they strip ALL and --> from proved theorems;
  9937 
  9938 
  9939 
  9940 New in Isabelle94-8 (May 1997)
  9941 ------------------------------
  9942 
  9943 *** General Changes ***
  9944 
  9945 * new utilities to build / run / maintain Isabelle etc. (in parts
  9946 still somewhat experimental); old Makefiles etc. still functional;
  9947 
  9948 * new 'Isabelle System Manual';
  9949 
  9950 * INSTALL text, together with ./configure and ./build scripts;
  9951 
  9952 * reimplemented type inference for greater efficiency, better error
  9953 messages and clean internal interface;
  9954 
  9955 * prlim command for dealing with lots of subgoals (an easier way of
  9956 setting goals_limit);
  9957 
  9958 
  9959 *** Syntax ***
  9960 
  9961 * supports alternative (named) syntax tables (parser and pretty
  9962 printer); internal interface is provided by add_modesyntax(_i);
  9963 
  9964 * Pure, FOL, ZF, HOL, HOLCF now support symbolic input and output; to
  9965 be used in conjunction with the Isabelle symbol font; uses the
  9966 "symbols" syntax table;
  9967 
  9968 * added token_translation interface (may translate name tokens in
  9969 arbitrary ways, dependent on their type (free, bound, tfree, ...) and
  9970 the current print_mode); IMPORTANT: user print translation functions
  9971 are responsible for marking newly introduced bounds
  9972 (Syntax.mark_boundT);
  9973 
  9974 * token translations for modes "xterm" and "xterm_color" that display
  9975 names in bold, underline etc. or colors (which requires a color
  9976 version of xterm);
  9977 
  9978 * infixes may now be declared with names independent of their syntax;
  9979 
  9980 * added typed_print_translation (like print_translation, but may
  9981 access type of constant);
  9982 
  9983 
  9984 *** Classical Reasoner ***
  9985 
  9986 Blast_tac: a new tactic!  It is often more powerful than fast_tac, but has
  9987 some limitations.  Blast_tac...
  9988   + ignores addss, addbefore, addafter; this restriction is intrinsic
  9989   + ignores elimination rules that don't have the correct format
  9990         (the conclusion MUST be a formula variable)
  9991   + ignores types, which can make HOL proofs fail
  9992   + rules must not require higher-order unification, e.g. apply_type in ZF
  9993     [message "Function Var's argument not a bound variable" relates to this]
  9994   + its proof strategy is more general but can actually be slower
  9995 
  9996 * substitution with equality assumptions no longer permutes other
  9997 assumptions;
  9998 
  9999 * minor changes in semantics of addafter (now called addaltern); renamed
 10000 setwrapper to setWrapper and compwrapper to compWrapper; added safe wrapper
 10001 (and access functions for it);
 10002 
 10003 * improved combination of classical reasoner and simplifier:
 10004   + functions for handling clasimpsets
 10005   + improvement of addss: now the simplifier is called _after_ the
 10006     safe steps.
 10007   + safe variant of addss called addSss: uses safe simplifications
 10008     _during_ the safe steps. It is more complete as it allows multiple
 10009     instantiations of unknowns (e.g. with slow_tac).
 10010 
 10011 *** Simplifier ***
 10012 
 10013 * added interface for simplification procedures (functions that
 10014 produce *proven* rewrite rules on the fly, depending on current
 10015 redex);
 10016 
 10017 * ordering on terms as parameter (used for ordered rewriting);
 10018 
 10019 * new functions delcongs, deleqcongs, and Delcongs. richer rep_ss;
 10020 
 10021 * the solver is now split into a safe and an unsafe part.
 10022 This should be invisible for the normal user, except that the
 10023 functions setsolver and addsolver have been renamed to setSolver and
 10024 addSolver; added safe_asm_full_simp_tac;
 10025 
 10026 
 10027 *** HOL ***
 10028 
 10029 * a generic induction tactic `induct_tac' which works for all datatypes and
 10030 also for type `nat';
 10031 
 10032 * a generic case distinction tactic `exhaust_tac' which works for all
 10033 datatypes and also for type `nat';
 10034 
 10035 * each datatype comes with a function `size';
 10036 
 10037 * patterns in case expressions allow tuple patterns as arguments to
 10038 constructors, for example `case x of [] => ... | (x,y,z)#ps => ...';
 10039 
 10040 * primrec now also works with type nat;
 10041 
 10042 * recdef: a new declaration form, allows general recursive functions to be
 10043 defined in theory files.  See HOL/ex/Fib, HOL/ex/Primes, HOL/Subst/Unify.
 10044 
 10045 * the constant for negation has been renamed from "not" to "Not" to
 10046 harmonize with FOL, ZF, LK, etc.;
 10047 
 10048 * HOL/ex/LFilter theory of a corecursive "filter" functional for
 10049 infinite lists;
 10050 
 10051 * HOL/Modelcheck demonstrates invocation of model checker oracle;
 10052 
 10053 * HOL/ex/Ring.thy declares cring_simp, which solves equational
 10054 problems in commutative rings, using axiomatic type classes for + and *;
 10055 
 10056 * more examples in HOL/MiniML and HOL/Auth;
 10057 
 10058 * more default rewrite rules for quantifiers, union/intersection;
 10059 
 10060 * a new constant `arbitrary == @x.False';
 10061 
 10062 * HOLCF/IOA replaces old HOL/IOA;
 10063 
 10064 * HOLCF changes: derived all rules and arities
 10065   + axiomatic type classes instead of classes
 10066   + typedef instead of faking type definitions
 10067   + eliminated the internal constants less_fun, less_cfun, UU_fun, UU_cfun etc.
 10068   + new axclasses cpo, chfin, flat with flat < chfin < pcpo < cpo < po
 10069   + eliminated the types void, one, tr
 10070   + use unit lift and bool lift (with translations) instead of one and tr
 10071   + eliminated blift from Lift3.thy (use Def instead of blift)
 10072   all eliminated rules are derived as theorems --> no visible changes ;
 10073 
 10074 
 10075 *** ZF ***
 10076 
 10077 * ZF now has Fast_tac, Simp_tac and Auto_tac.  Union_iff is a now a default
 10078 rewrite rule; this may affect some proofs.  eq_cs is gone but can be put back
 10079 as ZF_cs addSIs [equalityI];
 10080 
 10081 
 10082 
 10083 New in Isabelle94-7 (November 96)
 10084 ---------------------------------
 10085 
 10086 * allowing negative levels (as offsets) in prlev and choplev;
 10087 
 10088 * super-linear speedup for large simplifications;
 10089 
 10090 * FOL, ZF and HOL now use miniscoping: rewriting pushes
 10091 quantifications in as far as possible (COULD MAKE EXISTING PROOFS
 10092 FAIL); can suppress it using the command Delsimps (ex_simps @
 10093 all_simps); De Morgan laws are also now included, by default;
 10094 
 10095 * improved printing of ==>  :  ~:
 10096 
 10097 * new object-logic "Sequents" adds linear logic, while replacing LK
 10098 and Modal (thanks to Sara Kalvala);
 10099 
 10100 * HOL/Auth: correctness proofs for authentication protocols;
 10101 
 10102 * HOL: new auto_tac combines rewriting and classical reasoning (many
 10103 examples on HOL/Auth);
 10104 
 10105 * HOL: new command AddIffs for declaring theorems of the form P=Q to
 10106 the rewriter and classical reasoner simultaneously;
 10107 
 10108 * function uresult no longer returns theorems in "standard" format;
 10109 regain previous version by: val uresult = standard o uresult;
 10110 
 10111 
 10112 
 10113 New in Isabelle94-6
 10114 -------------------
 10115 
 10116 * oracles -- these establish an interface between Isabelle and trusted
 10117 external reasoners, which may deliver results as theorems;
 10118 
 10119 * proof objects (in particular record all uses of oracles);
 10120 
 10121 * Simp_tac, Fast_tac, etc. that refer to implicit simpset / claset;
 10122 
 10123 * "constdefs" section in theory files;
 10124 
 10125 * "primrec" section (HOL) no longer requires names;
 10126 
 10127 * internal type "tactic" now simply "thm -> thm Sequence.seq";
 10128 
 10129 
 10130 
 10131 New in Isabelle94-5
 10132 -------------------
 10133 
 10134 * reduced space requirements;
 10135 
 10136 * automatic HTML generation from theories;
 10137 
 10138 * theory files no longer require "..." (quotes) around most types;
 10139 
 10140 * new examples, including two proofs of the Church-Rosser theorem;
 10141 
 10142 * non-curried (1994) version of HOL is no longer distributed;
 10143 
 10144 
 10145 
 10146 New in Isabelle94-4
 10147 -------------------
 10148 
 10149 * greatly reduced space requirements;
 10150 
 10151 * theory files (.thy) no longer require \...\ escapes at line breaks;
 10152 
 10153 * searchable theorem database (see the section "Retrieving theorems" on
 10154 page 8 of the Reference Manual);
 10155 
 10156 * new examples, including Grabczewski's monumental case study of the
 10157 Axiom of Choice;
 10158 
 10159 * The previous version of HOL renamed to Old_HOL;
 10160 
 10161 * The new version of HOL (previously called CHOL) uses a curried syntax
 10162 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b);
 10163 
 10164 * Mutually recursive inductive definitions finally work in HOL;
 10165 
 10166 * In ZF, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions and
 10167 translates to the operator "split";
 10168 
 10169 
 10170 
 10171 New in Isabelle94-3
 10172 -------------------
 10173 
 10174 * new infix operator, addss, allowing the classical reasoner to
 10175 perform simplification at each step of its search.  Example:
 10176         fast_tac (cs addss ss)
 10177 
 10178 * a new logic, CHOL, the same as HOL, but with a curried syntax
 10179 for functions.  Application looks like f a b instead of f(a,b).  Also pairs
 10180 look like (a,b) instead of <a,b>;
 10181 
 10182 * PLEASE NOTE: CHOL will eventually replace HOL!
 10183 
 10184 * In CHOL, pattern-matching on tuples is now available in all abstractions.
 10185 It translates to the operator "split".  A new theory of integers is available;
 10186 
 10187 * In ZF, integer numerals now denote two's-complement binary integers.
 10188 Arithmetic operations can be performed by rewriting.  See ZF/ex/Bin.ML;
 10189 
 10190 * Many new examples: I/O automata, Church-Rosser theorem, equivalents
 10191 of the Axiom of Choice;
 10192 
 10193 
 10194 
 10195 New in Isabelle94-2
 10196 -------------------
 10197 
 10198 * Significantly faster resolution;
 10199 
 10200 * the different sections in a .thy file can now be mixed and repeated
 10201 freely;
 10202 
 10203 * Database of theorems for FOL, HOL and ZF.  New
 10204 commands including qed, qed_goal and bind_thm store theorems in the database.
 10205 
 10206 * Simple database queries: return a named theorem (get_thm) or all theorems of
 10207 a given theory (thms_of), or find out what theory a theorem was proved in
 10208 (theory_of_thm);
 10209 
 10210 * Bugs fixed in the inductive definition and datatype packages;
 10211 
 10212 * The classical reasoner provides deepen_tac and depth_tac, making FOL_dup_cs
 10213 and HOL_dup_cs obsolete;
 10214 
 10215 * Syntactic ambiguities caused by the new treatment of syntax in Isabelle94-1
 10216 have been removed;
 10217 
 10218 * Simpler definition of function space in ZF;
 10219 
 10220 * new results about cardinal and ordinal arithmetic in ZF;
 10221 
 10222 * 'subtype' facility in HOL for introducing new types as subsets of existing
 10223 types;
