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

   298     BNF/BNF.thy
   299     BNF/Equiv_Relations_More.thy
   300   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   301 
   302 * New (co)datatype package:
   303   * "primcorec" is fully implemented.
   304   * "datatype_new" generates size functions ("size_xxx" and "size") as
   305     required by "fun".
   306   * BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style (co)datatypes
   307     with Transfer.
   308   * Renamed commands:
   309       datatype_new_compat ~> datatype_compat
   310       primrec_new ~> primrec
   311       wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
   312     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   313   * The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
   314     "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
   315     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   316   * The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer generated.
   317     Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually using "prim(co)rec".
   318     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   319   * No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by default,
   320     eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
   321     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   322   * No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
   323     "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
   324     "discs_sels" option is passed.
   325     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   326 
   327 * Old datatype package:
   328   * The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been renamed
   329     "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" -> "sum.case").
   330     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   331   * The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have been
   332     renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~>
   333     "case_prod").
   334     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   335 
   336 * The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions, their
   337   relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new BNF-based
   338   datatype package.
   339   Renamed constants:
   340     Option.set ~> set_option
   341     Option.map ~> map_option
   342     option_rel ~> rel_option
   343   Renamed theorems:
   344     set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]
   345     map_def ~> map_rec[abs_def]
   346     Option.map_def ~> map_option_case[abs_def] (with "case_option" instead of "rec_option")
   347     option.recs ~> option.rec
   348     list_all2_def ~> list_all2_iff
   349     set.simps ~> set_simps (or the slightly different "list.set")
   350     map.simps ~> list.map
   351     hd.simps ~> list.sel(1)
   352     tl.simps ~> list.sel(2-3)
   353     the.simps ~> option.sel
   354   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   355 
   356 * The following map functions and relators have been renamed:
   357     sum_map ~> map_sum
   358     map_pair ~> map_prod
   359     prod_rel ~> rel_prod
   360     sum_rel ~> rel_sum
   361     fun_rel ~> rel_fun
   362     set_rel ~> rel_set
   363     filter_rel ~> rel_filter
   364     fset_rel ~> rel_fset (in "Library/FSet.thy")
   365     cset_rel ~> rel_cset (in "Library/Countable_Set_Type.thy")
   366     vset ~> rel_vset (in "Library/Quotient_Set.thy")
   367 
   368 * New theories:
   369     Cardinals/Ordinal_Arithmetic.thy
   370     Library/Tree
   371 
   372 * Theory reorganizations:
   373   * Big_Operators.thy ~> Groups_Big.thy and Lattices_Big.thy
   374 
   375 * New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof traces.
   376   This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and "dpll".
   377   Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT solvers should
   378   use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now the default SAT
   379   solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and corresponding tactics;
   380   the old default can be restored using
   381   "declare [[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]". Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   382 
   383 * SMT module:
   384   * A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called "SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2
   385     and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g., 4.3). The new proof method is
   386     called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also supported as oracles. Yices is no
   387     longer supported, because no version of the solver can handle both
   388     SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.
   389 
   390 * Sledgehammer:
   391   - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
   392   - MaSh overhaul:
   393       - New SML-based learning engines eliminate the dependency on Python
   394         and increase performance and reliability.
   395       - MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the traditional
   396         MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable MaSh, set the "MaSh"
   397         system option in Plugin Options / Isabelle / General to "none". Other
   398         allowed values include "sml" (for the default SML engine) and "py"
   399         (for the old Python engine).
   400   - New option:
   401       smt_proofs
   402   - Renamed options:
   403       isar_compress ~> compress
   404       isar_try0 ~> try0
   405     INCOMPATIBILITY.
   406 
   407 * Metis:
   408   - Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis (full_types)' instead.

   412 
   413 * Command renaming: enriched_type ~> functor. INCOMPATIBILITY.
   414 
   415 * The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
   416 to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.
   417 
   418 * Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
   419 (without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
   420 "Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
   421 Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.
   422 
   423 * "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
   424 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   425 
   426 * "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
   427 with the given constants.

   506   * Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
   507   * Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
   508   * When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
   509     following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
   510   * HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
   511     like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".

   528 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   529 
   530 * More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:

   534 le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
   535 minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly
   536 have been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and
   537 field_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
   538 
   539 To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:
   540 
   541 a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
   542 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.
   543 
   544 b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
   545 Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".
   546 
   547 c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
   548 Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
   549 or the brute way with
   550 "simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".
   551 
   552 * SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice
   553 
   554 * Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
   555 Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.   INCOMPATIBILITY.
   556 
   557 * Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them
   558 instead of explicitly stating boundedness of sets.
   559 
   560 * ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow
   561 more syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain
   562 shows up as additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.
   563 INCOMPATIBILITY
   564

   585 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   586 
   587 * Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:
   588   - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"
   589 
   590   - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"
   591 
   592   - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax
   593 
   594   - removed constant isDiff
   595 
   596   - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as input
   597     syntax.
   598 
   599   - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed
   600 
   601   - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...
   602 
   603   - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV
   604 
   605   - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros
   606 
   607   - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which includes now rules for
   608     DERIV, has_derivative and has_vector_derivative.
   609 
   610   - Other renamings:

   618 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   619 
   620 * Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the continuous_on_intros,
   621   isCont_intros collections, these facts are now in continuous_intros.
   622 
   623 * Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im, the Complex
   624   constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use primcorec to defined the
   625   behaviour of a complex-valued function.
   626 
   627   Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they are
   628   available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This especially
   629   removes
   630     i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".
   631 
   632   Instead the reverse direction is supported with
   633     Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"
   634 
   635   Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.

   664 
   665 * Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.
   666 
   667 * Nitpick:
   668   - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could take
   669     infinite values.
   670   - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as "Abs_Integ" and
   671     "Rep_Integ".
   672   - Removed "std" option.
   673   - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
   674     "hide_types".
   675 
   676 * HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
   677   - type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces
   678   - new theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
   679     holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
   680   - changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
   681     pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
   682     conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
   683     INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
   684     explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-) open
   685     intervals.
   686 
   687   - renamed theorems:

   752     integral_cmul_indicator
   753     integral_real
   754 
   755   - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:
   756

   782 "ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context via
   783 "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   784 
   785 * Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
   786 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   787 
   788 * Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
   789 depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
   790 ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
   791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   792 
   793 * Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
   794 variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
   795 fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
   796 This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
   797 declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
   798 of schematic variables.
   799 
   800 * Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
   801 without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
   802 Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
   803 formal context.
   804 
   805 * Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
   806 rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
   807 pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
   808 actually belongs to it).
   809 
   810 * Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
   811 compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
   812 current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
   813 branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
   814 theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
   815 appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.
   816 
   817 * Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
   818 structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   819 
   820 * ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
   821 occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.
   822 
   823 * ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
   824 Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
   825 some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
   826 well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
   827 specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".
   828 
   829 * ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
   830 ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
   831 purposes.
   832 
   833 
   834 *** System ***
   835 
   836 * Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
   837 robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
   838 files are copied to the document output directory, before document
   839 processing is started.
   840 
   841 * Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
   842 and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
   843 command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
   844 via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
   845 INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.
   846 
   847 * Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
   848 repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
   849 $ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.
   850 
   851 * The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
   852 "isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
   853 shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
   854 the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
   855 incompatibility for old tools that do not use the $ISABELLE_PROCESS
   856 settings variable yet.
   857 
   858 * Retired the now unused Isabelle tool "wwwfind". Similar
   859 functionality may be integrated into PIDE/jEdit at a later point.
   860 
   861 * Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
   862 of TeX Live from Cygwin.
   863 
   864 
   865 
   866 New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
   867 -------------------------------------
   868 
   869 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   870 
   871 * More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
   872 e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.
   873 
   874 * More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
   875 after edits surrounding the command location.
   876 
   877 * More status information about commands that are interrupted
   878 accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
   879 e.g. out-of-memory).
   880 
   881 
   882 *** System ***
   883 
   884 * More robust termination of external processes managed by
   885 Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
   886 milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
   887 tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).
   888 
   889 * Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
   890 Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
   891 workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.
   892 
   893 
   894 
   895 New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
   896 -------------------------------------
   897 
   898 *** General ***
   899 
   900 * Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
   901 commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
   902 dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   903 
   904 * Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
   905 'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   906 
   907 * Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
   908 instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
   909 only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
   910 for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
   911 names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
   912 Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
   913 standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
   914 The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
   915 workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
   916 syntax.
   917 
   918 * Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
   919 "sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
   920 
   921 * Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
   922 "isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
   923 Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
   924 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
   925 quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.
   926 
   927 * Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
   928 INCOMPATIBILITY.
   929 
   930 * Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
   931 implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
   932 control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.
   933 
   934 * Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
   935 and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
   936 'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.
   937 
   938 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
   939 eliminated old "ref" manual.
   940 
   941 
   942 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
   943 
   944 * New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
   945 Documentation panel.
   946 
   947 * Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
   948 documentation.
   949 
   950 * Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
   951 (GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).
   952 
   953 * Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
   954 sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
   955 normal editing and checking process.
   956 
   957 * Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
   958 timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
   959 same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
   960 command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
   961 COMMAND modifier is pressed.
   962 
   963 * Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
   964 document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
   965 using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
   966 be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
   967 or shortcut "C+e SPACE".
   968 
   969 * Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
   970 Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
   971 symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).
   972 
   973 * Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
   974 isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
   975 INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
   976 to resolve conflict.
   977 
   978 * Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
   979 options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.
   980 
   981 * Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
   982 running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
   983 such command executions while editing.
   984 
   985 * Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
   986 document content.
   987 
   988 * Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
   989 toplevel theorem statements.
   990 
   991 * Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
   992 according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
   993 also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
   994 keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).
   995 
   996 * File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
   997 $ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
   998 obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.
   999 
  1000 * Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
  1001 / Global Options / Appearance".
  1002 
  1003 * Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
  1004 plugin, which is now enabled by default.
  1005 
  1006 
  1007 *** Pure ***
  1008 
  1009 * Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
  1010 In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
  1011 interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
  1012 light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
  1013 details.
  1014 
  1015 * Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.
  1016 
  1017 * Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
  1018 legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
  1019 instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.
  1020 
  1021 * Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
  1022 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1023 
  1024 * System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
  1025 state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
  1026 as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
  1027 Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1028 
  1029 * Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
  1030 on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
  1031 now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1032 
  1033 * Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
  1034 configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).
  1035 
  1036 * SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
  1037 state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
  1038 situations.
  1039 
  1040 
  1041 *** HOL ***
  1042 
  1043 * Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
  1044 sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
  1045 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1046 
  1047 * Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.
  1048 
  1049 * Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
  1050 rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
  1051 from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
  1052 "case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:
  1053 
  1054   declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]
  1055 
  1056 * Code generator:
  1057   - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
  1058     'code_instance'.
  1059   - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
  1060     generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.
  1061 
  1062 See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
  1063 examples.
  1064 
  1065 * Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
  1066 equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
  1067 to distinguish both when desired.
  1068 
  1069 * Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
  1070 fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
  1071 Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
  1072 generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1073 
  1074 * Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
  1075 natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
  1076 code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
  1077 natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
  1078 Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
  1079 ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1080 
  1081 * Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
  1082 cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
  1083 f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1084 in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.
  1085 
  1086 * Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
  1087 generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".
  1088 
  1089 * New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
  1090 function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
  1091 inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.
  1092 
  1093 * Lifting:
  1094   - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
  1095     + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
  1096       the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
  1097       transfer rules
  1098     + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
  1099       correspondence relation can be generated
  1100     + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
  1101       parametricity
  1102     + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  1103   - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  1104   - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
  1105     copies
  1106   - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
  1107     by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
  1108     anonymous context)
  1109   - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
  1110     Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1111   - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
  1112     lifting_forget, lifting_update
  1113   - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
  1114     INCOMPATIBILITY
  1115 
  1116 * Transfer:
  1117   - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
  1118     by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  1119   - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  1120   - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
  1121     abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  1122   - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute
  1123 
  1124 * Reification and reflection:
  1125   - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
  1126     "Reification".
  1127   - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  1128   - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
  1129 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1130 
  1131 * Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  1132   - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
  1133     Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  1134     This is now identity on infinite sets.
  1135   - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
  1136     Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  1137   - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
  1138     semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
  1139     See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
  1140     Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
  1141     semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
  1142     and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
  1143     those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
  1144     preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  1145   - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
  1146     no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  1147   - Fact renames:
  1148       card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
  1149       card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
  1150 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1151 
  1152 * Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.
  1153 
  1154 * Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
  1155 ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
  1156 class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
  1157 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1158 
  1159 * Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
  1160 complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
  1161 bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
  1162 extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
  1163 of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
  1164 conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
  1165 Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
  1166 lemmas.
  1167 
  1168 * Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
  1169 conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
  1170 more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1171 
  1172 * Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
  1173 and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  1174 Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top
  1175 
  1176 * Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
  1177 top and bottom elements.
  1178 
  1179 * Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.
  1180 
  1181 * Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
  1182 HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.
  1183 
  1184  - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
  1185    linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
  1186    limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.
  1187 
  1188  - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
  1189    "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
  1190    is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".
  1191 
  1192    Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
  1193    arbitrary filter.
  1194 
  1195  - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
  1196    compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
  1197    attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
  1198    continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
  1199    on a compact set.
  1200 
  1201  - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
  1202    intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
  1203    linear_continuum_topology).
  1204 
  1205  - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
  1206    show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
  1207    on all sequences converging to x.
  1208 
  1209  - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
  1210    theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
  1211    definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
  1212    which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
  1213    left or right.
  1214 
  1215  - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:
  1216 
  1217      F within X = inf F (principal X)
  1218 
  1219  - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
  1220    abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"
  1221 
  1222  - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
  1223    continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
  1224    in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
  1225    tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
  1226    is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
  1227    intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.
  1228 
  1229  - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:
  1230 
  1231    + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real
  1232 
  1233    + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
  1234      topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it
  1235 
  1236    + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces
  1237 
  1238    + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
  1239      Real_Vector_Spaces, and Limits
  1240 
  1241    + Moved Ln and Log to Transcendental
  1242 
  1243    + Moved theorems about continuity from Deriv to Topological_Spaces
  1244 
  1245  - Remove various auxiliary lemmas.
  1246 
  1247 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1248 
  1249 * Nitpick:
  1250   - Added option "spy".
  1251   - Reduce incidence of "too high arity" errors.
  1252 
  1253 * Sledgehammer:
  1254   - Renamed option:
  1255       isar_shrink ~> isar_compress
  1256     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1257   - Added options "isar_try0", "spy".
  1258   - Better support for "isar_proofs".
  1259   - MaSh has been fined-tuned and now runs as a local server.
  1260 
  1261 * Improved support for ad hoc overloading of constants (see also
  1262 isar-ref manual and ~~/src/HOL/ex/Adhoc_Overloading_Examples.thy).
  1263 
  1264 * Library/Polynomial.thy:
  1265   - Use lifting for primitive definitions.
  1266   - Explicit conversions from and to lists of coefficients, used for
  1267     generated code.
  1268   - Replaced recursion operator poly_rec by fold_coeffs.
  1269   - Prefer pre-existing gcd operation for gcd.
  1270   - Fact renames:
  1271     poly_eq_iff ~> poly_eq_poly_eq_iff
  1272     poly_ext ~> poly_eqI
  1273     expand_poly_eq ~> poly_eq_iff
  1274 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1275 
  1276 * New Library/Simps_Case_Conv.thy: Provides commands simps_of_case and
  1277 case_of_simps to convert function definitions between a list of
  1278 equations with patterns on the lhs and a single equation with case
  1279 expressions on the rhs. See also Ex/Simps_Case_Conv_Examples.thy.
  1280 
  1281 * New Library/FSet.thy: type of finite sets defined as a subtype of
  1282 sets defined by Lifting/Transfer.
  1283 
  1284 * Discontinued theory src/HOL/Library/Eval_Witness.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1285 
  1286 * Consolidation of library theories on product orders:
  1287 
  1288     Product_Lattice ~> Product_Order -- pointwise order on products
  1289     Product_ord ~> Product_Lexorder -- lexicographic order on products
  1290 
  1291 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1292 
  1293 * Imperative-HOL: The MREC combinator is considered legacy and no
  1294 longer included by default. INCOMPATIBILITY, use partial_function
  1295 instead, or import theory Legacy_Mrec as a fallback.
  1296 
  1297 * HOL-Algebra: Discontinued theories ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/abstract and
  1298 ~~/src/HOL/Algebra/poly.  Existing theories should be based on
  1299 ~~/src/HOL/Library/Polynomial instead.  The latter provides
  1300 integration with HOL's type classes for rings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1301 
  1302 * HOL-BNF:
  1303   - Various improvements to BNF-based (co)datatype package, including
  1304     new commands "primrec_new", "primcorec", and
  1305     "datatype_new_compat", as well as documentation. See
  1306     "datatypes.pdf" for details.
  1307   - New "coinduction" method to avoid some boilerplate (compared to
  1308     coinduct).
  1309   - Renamed keywords:
  1310     data ~> datatype_new
  1311     codata ~> codatatype
  1312     bnf_def ~> bnf
  1313   - Renamed many generated theorems, including
  1314     discs ~> disc
  1315     map_comp' ~> map_comp
  1316     map_id' ~> map_id
  1317     sels ~> sel
  1318     set_map' ~> set_map
  1319     sets ~> set
  1320 IMCOMPATIBILITY.
  1321 
  1322 
  1323 *** ML ***
  1324 
  1325 * Spec_Check is a Quickcheck tool for Isabelle/ML.  The ML function
  1326 "check_property" allows to check specifications of the form "ALL x y
  1327 z. prop x y z".  See also ~~/src/Tools/Spec_Check/ with its
  1328 Examples.thy in particular.
  1329 
  1330 * Improved printing of exception trace in Poly/ML 5.5.1, with regular
  1331 tracing output in the command transaction context instead of physical
  1332 stdout.  See also Toplevel.debug, Toplevel.debugging and
  1333 ML_Compiler.exn_trace.
  1334 
  1335 * ML type "theory" is now immutable, without any special treatment of
  1336 drafts or linear updates (which could lead to "stale theory" errors in
  1337 the past).  Discontinued obsolete operations like Theory.copy,
  1338 Theory.checkpoint, and the auxiliary type theory_ref.  Minor
  1339 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1340 
  1341 * More uniform naming of goal functions for skipped proofs:
  1342 
  1343     Skip_Proof.prove  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry
  1344     Skip_Proof.prove_global  ~>  Goal.prove_sorry_global
  1345 
  1346 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1347 
  1348 * Simplifier tactics and tools use proper Proof.context instead of
  1349 historic type simpset.  Old-style declarations like addsimps,
  1350 addsimprocs etc. operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type simpset
  1351 retains its use as snapshot of the main Simplifier context, using
  1352 simpset_of and put_simpset on Proof.context.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- port
  1353 old tools by making them depend on (ctxt : Proof.context) instead of
  1354 (ss : simpset), then turn (simpset_of ctxt) into ctxt.
  1355 
  1356 * Modifiers for classical wrappers (e.g. addWrapper, delWrapper)
  1357 operate on Proof.context instead of claset, for uniformity with addIs,
  1358 addEs, addDs etc. Note that claset_of and put_claset allow to manage
  1359 clasets separately from the context.
  1360 
  1361 * Discontinued obsolete ML antiquotations @{claset} and @{simpset}.
  1362 INCOMPATIBILITY, use @{context} instead.
  1363 
  1364 * Antiquotation @{theory_context A} is similar to @{theory A}, but
  1365 presents the result as initial Proof.context.
  1366 
  1367 
  1368 *** System ***
  1369 
  1370 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle usedir, mkdir, make -- superseded by
  1371 "isabelle build" in Isabelle2013.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1372 
  1373 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle-process options -f and -u (former
  1374 administrative aliases of option -e).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1375 
  1376 * Discontinued obsolete isabelle print tool, and PRINT_COMMAND
  1377 settings variable.
  1378 
  1379 * Discontinued ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT settings variable and historic
  1380 document formats: dvi.gz, ps, ps.gz -- the default document format is
  1381 always pdf.
  1382 
  1383 * Isabelle settings variable ISABELLE_BUILD_JAVA_OPTIONS allows to
  1384 specify global resources of the JVM process run by isabelle build.
  1385 
  1386 * Toplevel executable $ISABELLE_HOME/bin/isabelle_scala_script allows
  1387 to run Isabelle/Scala source files as standalone programs.
  1388 
  1389 * Improved "isabelle keywords" tool (for old-style ProofGeneral
  1390 keyword tables): use Isabelle/Scala operations, which inspect outer
  1391 syntax without requiring to build sessions first.
  1392 
  1393 * Sessions may be organized via 'chapter' specifications in the ROOT
  1394 file, which determines a two-level hierarchy of browser info.  The old
  1395 tree-like organization via implicit sub-session relation (with its
  1396 tendency towards erratic fluctuation of URLs) has been discontinued.
  1397 The default chapter is called "Unsorted".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1398 for HTML presentation of theories.
  1399 
  1400 
  1401 
  1402 New in Isabelle2013 (February 2013)
  1403 -----------------------------------
  1404 
  1405 *** General ***
  1406 
  1407 * Theorem status about oracles and unfinished/failed future proofs is
  1408 no longer printed by default, since it is incompatible with
  1409 incremental / parallel checking of the persistent document model.  ML
  1410 function Thm.peek_status may be used to inspect a snapshot of the
  1411 ongoing evaluation process.  Note that in batch mode --- notably
  1412 isabelle build --- the system ensures that future proofs of all
  1413 accessible theorems in the theory context are finished (as before).
  1414 
  1415 * Configuration option show_markup controls direct inlining of markup
  1416 into the printed representation of formal entities --- notably type
  1417 and sort constraints.  This enables Prover IDE users to retrieve that
  1418 information via tooltips in the output window, for example.
  1419 
  1420 * Command 'ML_file' evaluates ML text from a file directly within the
  1421 theory, without any predeclaration via 'uses' in the theory header.
  1422 
  1423 * Old command 'use' command and corresponding keyword 'uses' in the
  1424 theory header are legacy features and will be discontinued soon.
  1425 Tools that load their additional source files may imitate the
  1426 'ML_file' implementation, such that the system can take care of
  1427 dependencies properly.
  1428 
  1429 * Discontinued obsolete method fastsimp / tactic fast_simp_tac, which
  1430 is called fastforce / fast_force_tac already since Isabelle2011-1.
  1431 
  1432 * Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual, reduced
  1433 remaining material in old "ref" manual.
  1434 
  1435 * Improved support for auxiliary contexts that indicate block structure
  1436 for specifications.  Nesting of "context fixes ... context assumes ..."
  1437 and "class ... context ...".
  1438 
  1439 * Attribute "consumes" allows a negative value as well, which is
  1440 interpreted relatively to the total number of premises of the rule in
  1441 the target context.  This form of declaration is stable when exported
  1442 from a nested 'context' with additional assumptions.  It is the
  1443 preferred form for definitional packages, notably cases/rules produced
  1444 in HOL/inductive and HOL/function.
  1445 
  1446 * More informative error messages for Isar proof commands involving
  1447 lazy enumerations (method applications etc.).
  1448 
  1449 * Refined 'help' command to retrieve outer syntax commands according
  1450 to name patterns (with clickable results).
  1451 
  1452 
  1453 *** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***
  1454 
  1455 * Parallel terminal proofs ('by') are enabled by default, likewise
  1456 proofs that are built into packages like 'datatype', 'function'.  This
  1457 allows to "run ahead" checking the theory specifications on the
  1458 surface, while the prover is still crunching on internal
  1459 justifications.  Unfinished / cancelled proofs are restarted as
  1460 required to complete full proof checking eventually.
  1461 
  1462 * Improved output panel with tooltips, hyperlinks etc. based on the
  1463 same Rich_Text_Area as regular Isabelle/jEdit buffers.  Activation of
  1464 tooltips leads to some window that supports the same recursively,
  1465 which can lead to stacks of tooltips as the semantic document content
  1466 is explored.  ESCAPE closes the whole stack, individual windows may be
  1467 closed separately, or detached to become independent jEdit dockables.
  1468 
  1469 * Improved support for commands that produce graph output: the text
  1470 message contains a clickable area to open a new instance of the graph
  1471 browser on demand.
  1472 
  1473 * More robust incremental parsing of outer syntax (partial comments,
  1474 malformed symbols).  Changing the balance of open/close quotes and
  1475 comment delimiters works more conveniently with unfinished situations
  1476 that frequently occur in user interaction.
  1477 
  1478 * More efficient painting and improved reactivity when editing large
  1479 files.  More scalable management of formal document content.
  1480 
  1481 * Smarter handling of tracing messages: prover process pauses after
  1482 certain number of messages per command transaction, with some user
  1483 dialog to stop or continue.  This avoids swamping the front-end with
  1484 potentially infinite message streams.
  1485 
  1486 * More plugin options and preferences, based on Isabelle/Scala.  The
  1487 jEdit plugin option panel provides access to some Isabelle/Scala
  1488 options, including tuning parameters for editor reactivity and color
  1489 schemes.
  1490 
  1491 * Dockable window "Symbols" provides some editing support for Isabelle
  1492 symbols.
  1493 
  1494 * Dockable window "Monitor" shows ML runtime statistics.  Note that
  1495 continuous display of the chart slows down the system.
  1496 
  1497 * Improved editing support for control styles: subscript, superscript,
  1498 bold, reset of style -- operating on single symbols or text
  1499 selections.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C+e DOWN/UP/RIGHT/LEFT.
  1500 
  1501 * Actions isabelle.increase-font-size and isabelle.decrease-font-size
  1502 adjust the main text area font size, and its derivatives for output,
  1503 tooltips etc.  Cf. keyboard shortcuts C-PLUS and C-MINUS, which often
  1504 need to be adapted to local keyboard layouts.
  1505 
  1506 * More reactive completion popup by default: use \t (TAB) instead of
  1507 \n (NEWLINE) to minimize intrusion into regular flow of editing.  See
  1508 also "Plugin Options / SideKick / General / Code Completion Options".
  1509 
  1510 * Implicit check and build dialog of the specified logic session
  1511 image.  For example, HOL, HOLCF, HOL-Nominal can be produced on
  1512 demand, without bundling big platform-dependent heap images in the
  1513 Isabelle distribution.
  1514 
  1515 * Uniform Java 7 platform on Linux, Mac OS X, Windows: recent updates
  1516 from Oracle provide better multi-platform experience.  This version is
  1517 now bundled exclusively with Isabelle.
  1518 
  1519 
  1520 *** Pure ***
  1521 
  1522 * Code generation for Haskell: restrict unqualified imports from
  1523 Haskell Prelude to a small set of fundamental operations.
  1524 
  1525 * Command 'export_code': relative file names are interpreted
  1526 relatively to master directory of current theory rather than the
  1527 rather arbitrary current working directory.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1528 
  1529 * Discontinued obsolete attribute "COMP".  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
  1530 use regular rule composition via "OF" / "THEN", or explicit proof
  1531 structure instead.  Note that Isabelle/ML provides a variety of
  1532 operators like COMP, INCR_COMP, COMP_INCR, which need to be applied
  1533 with some care where this is really required.
  1534 
  1535 * Command 'typ' supports an additional variant with explicit sort
  1536 constraint, to infer and check the most general type conforming to a
  1537 given sort.  Example (in HOL):
  1538 
  1539   typ "_ * _ * bool * unit" :: finite
  1540 
  1541 * Command 'locale_deps' visualizes all locales and their relations as
  1542 a Hasse diagram.
  1543 
  1544 
  1545 *** HOL ***
  1546 
  1547 * Sledgehammer:
  1548 
  1549   - Added MaSh relevance filter based on machine-learning; see the
  1550     Sledgehammer manual for details.
  1551   - Polished Isar proofs generated with "isar_proofs" option.
  1552   - Rationalized type encodings ("type_enc" option).
  1553   - Renamed "kill_provers" subcommand to "kill_all".
  1554   - Renamed options:
  1555       isar_proof ~> isar_proofs
  1556       isar_shrink_factor ~> isar_shrink
  1557       max_relevant ~> max_facts
  1558       relevance_thresholds ~> fact_thresholds
  1559 
  1560 * Quickcheck: added an optimisation for equality premises.  It is
  1561 switched on by default, and can be switched off by setting the
  1562 configuration quickcheck_optimise_equality to false.
  1563 
  1564 * Quotient: only one quotient can be defined by quotient_type
  1565 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1566 
  1567 * Lifting:
  1568   - generation of an abstraction function equation in lift_definition
  1569   - quot_del attribute
  1570   - renamed no_abs_code -> no_code (INCOMPATIBILITY.)
  1571 
  1572 * Simproc "finite_Collect" rewrites set comprehensions into pointfree
  1573 expressions.
  1574 
  1575 * Preprocessing of the code generator rewrites set comprehensions into
  1576 pointfree expressions.
  1577 
  1578 * The SMT solver Z3 has now by default a restricted set of directly
  1579 supported features. For the full set of features (div/mod, nonlinear
  1580 arithmetic, datatypes/records) with potential proof reconstruction
  1581 failures, enable the configuration option "z3_with_extensions".  Minor
  1582 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1583 
  1584 * Simplified 'typedef' specifications: historical options for implicit
  1585 set definition and alternative name have been discontinued.  The
  1586 former behavior of "typedef (open) t = A" is now the default, but
  1587 written just "typedef t = A".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt theories
  1588 accordingly.
  1589 
  1590 * Removed constant "chars"; prefer "Enum.enum" on type "char"
  1591 directly.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1592 
  1593 * Moved operation product, sublists and n_lists from theory Enum to
  1594 List.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1595 
  1596 * Theorem UN_o generalized to SUP_comp.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1597 
  1598 * Class "comm_monoid_diff" formalises properties of bounded
  1599 subtraction, with natural numbers and multisets as typical instances.
  1600 
  1601 * Added combinator "Option.these" with type "'a option set => 'a set".
  1602 
  1603 * Theory "Transitive_Closure": renamed lemmas
  1604 
  1605   reflcl_tranclp -> reflclp_tranclp
  1606   rtranclp_reflcl -> rtranclp_reflclp
  1607 
  1608 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1609 
  1610 * Theory "Rings": renamed lemmas (in class semiring)
  1611 
  1612   left_distrib ~> distrib_right
  1613   right_distrib ~> distrib_left
  1614 
  1615 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1616 
  1617 * Generalized the definition of limits:
  1618 
  1619   - Introduced the predicate filterlim (LIM x F. f x :> G) which
  1620     expresses that when the input values x converge to F then the
  1621     output f x converges to G.
  1622 
  1623   - Added filters for convergence to positive (at_top) and negative
  1624     infinity (at_bot).
  1625 
  1626   - Moved infinity in the norm (at_infinity) from
  1627     Multivariate_Analysis to Complex_Main.
  1628 
  1629   - Removed real_tendsto_inf, it is superseded by "LIM x F. f x :>
  1630     at_top".
  1631 
  1632 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1633 
  1634 * Theory "Library/Option_ord" provides instantiation of option type to
  1635 lattice type classes.
  1636 
  1637 * Theory "Library/Multiset": renamed
  1638 
  1639     constant fold_mset ~> Multiset.fold
  1640     fact fold_mset_commute ~> fold_mset_comm
  1641 
  1642 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1643 
  1644 * Renamed theory Library/List_Prefix to Library/Sublist, with related
  1645 changes as follows.
  1646 
  1647   - Renamed constants (and related lemmas)
  1648 
  1649       prefix ~> prefixeq
  1650       strict_prefix ~> prefix
  1651 
  1652   - Replaced constant "postfix" by "suffixeq" with swapped argument
  1653     order (i.e., "postfix xs ys" is now "suffixeq ys xs") and dropped
  1654     old infix syntax "xs >>= ys"; use "suffixeq ys xs" instead.
  1655     Renamed lemmas accordingly.
  1656 
  1657   - Added constant "list_hembeq" for homeomorphic embedding on
  1658     lists. Added abbreviation "sublisteq" for special case
  1659     "list_hembeq (op =)".
  1660 
  1661   - Theory Library/Sublist no longer provides "order" and "bot" type
  1662     class instances for the prefix order (merely corresponding locale
  1663     interpretations). The type class instances are now in theory
  1664     Library/Prefix_Order.
  1665 
  1666   - The sublist relation of theory Library/Sublist_Order is now based
  1667     on "Sublist.sublisteq".  Renamed lemmas accordingly:
  1668 
  1669       le_list_append_le_same_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append_le_same_iff
  1670       le_list_append_mono ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_append_mono
  1671       le_list_below_empty ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil, Sublist.list_hembeq_Nil2
  1672       le_list_Cons_EX ~> Sublist.list_hembeq_ConsD
  1673       le_list_drop_Cons2 ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2'
  1674       le_list_drop_Cons_neq ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons2_neq
  1675       le_list_drop_Cons ~> Sublist.sublisteq_Cons'
  1676       le_list_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_drop_many
  1677       le_list_filter_left ~> Sublist.sublisteq_filter_left
  1678       le_list_rev_drop_many ~> Sublist.sublisteq_rev_drop_many
  1679       le_list_rev_take_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append
  1680       le_list_same_length ~> Sublist.sublisteq_same_length
  1681       le_list_take_many_iff ~> Sublist.sublisteq_append'
  1682       less_eq_list.drop ~> less_eq_list_drop
  1683       less_eq_list.induct ~> less_eq_list_induct
  1684       not_le_list_length ~> Sublist.not_sublisteq_length
  1685 
  1686 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1687 
  1688 * New theory Library/Countable_Set.
  1689 
  1690 * Theory Library/Debug and Library/Parallel provide debugging and
  1691 parallel execution for code generated towards Isabelle/ML.
  1692 
  1693 * Theory Library/FuncSet: Extended support for Pi and extensional and
  1694 introduce the extensional dependent function space "PiE". Replaced
  1695 extensional_funcset by an abbreviation, and renamed lemmas from
  1696 extensional_funcset to PiE as follows:
  1697 
  1698   extensional_empty  ~>  PiE_empty
  1699   extensional_funcset_empty_domain  ~>  PiE_empty_domain
  1700   extensional_funcset_empty_range  ~>  PiE_empty_range
  1701   extensional_funcset_arb  ~>  PiE_arb
  1702   extensional_funcset_mem  ~>  PiE_mem
  1703   extensional_funcset_extend_domainI  ~>  PiE_fun_upd
  1704   extensional_funcset_restrict_domain  ~>  fun_upd_in_PiE
  1705   extensional_funcset_extend_domain_eq  ~>  PiE_insert_eq
  1706   card_extensional_funcset  ~>  card_PiE
  1707   finite_extensional_funcset  ~>  finite_PiE
  1708 
  1709 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1710 
  1711 * Theory Library/FinFun: theory of almost everywhere constant
  1712 functions (supersedes the AFP entry "Code Generation for Functions as
  1713 Data").
  1714 
  1715 * Theory Library/Phantom: generic phantom type to make a type
  1716 parameter appear in a constant's type.  This alternative to adding
  1717 TYPE('a) as another parameter avoids unnecessary closures in generated
  1718 code.
  1719 
  1720 * Theory Library/RBT_Impl: efficient construction of red-black trees
  1721 from sorted associative lists. Merging two trees with rbt_union may
  1722 return a structurally different tree than before.  Potential
  1723 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1724 
  1725 * Theory Library/IArray: immutable arrays with code generation.
  1726 
  1727 * Theory Library/Finite_Lattice: theory of finite lattices.
  1728 
  1729 * HOL/Multivariate_Analysis: replaced
  1730 
  1731   "basis :: 'a::euclidean_space => nat => real"
  1732   "\<Chi>\<Chi> :: (nat => real) => 'a::euclidean_space"
  1733 
  1734 on euclidean spaces by using the inner product "_ \<bullet> _" with
  1735 vectors from the Basis set: "\<Chi>\<Chi> i. f i" is superseded by
  1736 "SUM i : Basis. f i * r i".
  1737 
  1738   With this change the following constants are also changed or removed:
  1739 
  1740     DIM('a) :: nat  ~>  card (Basis :: 'a set)   (is an abbreviation)
  1741     a $$ i  ~>  inner a i  (where i : Basis)
  1742     cart_base i  removed
  1743     \<pi>, \<pi>'  removed
  1744 
  1745   Theorems about these constants where removed.
  1746 
  1747   Renamed lemmas:
  1748 
  1749     component_le_norm  ~>  Basis_le_norm
  1750     euclidean_eq  ~>  euclidean_eq_iff
  1751     differential_zero_maxmin_component  ~>  differential_zero_maxmin_cart
  1752     euclidean_simps  ~>  inner_simps
  1753     independent_basis  ~>  independent_Basis
  1754     span_basis  ~>  span_Basis
  1755     in_span_basis  ~>  in_span_Basis
  1756     norm_bound_component_le  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_le
  1757     norm_bound_component_lt  ~>  norm_boound_Basis_lt
  1758     component_le_infnorm  ~>  Basis_le_infnorm
  1759 
  1760 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1761 
  1762 * HOL/Probability:
  1763 
  1764   - Added simproc "measurable" to automatically prove measurability.
  1765 
  1766   - Added induction rules for sigma sets with disjoint union
  1767     (sigma_sets_induct_disjoint) and for Borel-measurable functions
  1768     (borel_measurable_induct).
  1769 
  1770   - Added the Daniell-Kolmogorov theorem (the existence the limit of a
  1771     projective family).
  1772 
  1773 * HOL/Cardinals: Theories of ordinals and cardinals (supersedes the
  1774 AFP entry "Ordinals_and_Cardinals").
  1775 
  1776 * HOL/BNF: New (co)datatype package based on bounded natural functors
  1777 with support for mixed, nested recursion and interesting non-free
  1778 datatypes.
  1779 
  1780 * HOL/Finite_Set and Relation: added new set and relation operations
  1781 expressed by Finite_Set.fold.
  1782 
  1783 * New theory HOL/Library/RBT_Set: implementation of sets by red-black
  1784 trees for the code generator.
  1785 
  1786 * HOL/Library/RBT and HOL/Library/Mapping have been converted to
  1787 Lifting/Transfer.
  1788 possible INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1789 
  1790 * HOL/Set: renamed Set.project -> Set.filter
  1791 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1792 
  1793 
  1794 *** Document preparation ***
  1795 
  1796 * Dropped legacy antiquotations "term_style" and "thm_style", since
  1797 styles may be given as arguments to "term" and "thm" already.
  1798 Discontinued legacy styles "prem1" .. "prem19".
  1799 
  1800 * Default LaTeX rendering for \<euro> is now based on eurosym package,
  1801 instead of slightly exotic babel/greek.
  1802 
  1803 * Document variant NAME may use different LaTeX entry point
  1804 document/root_NAME.tex if that file exists, instead of the common
  1805 document/root.tex.
  1806 
  1807 * Simplified custom document/build script, instead of old-style
  1808 document/IsaMakefile.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1809 
  1810 
  1811 *** ML ***
  1812 
  1813 * The default limit for maximum number of worker threads is now 8,
  1814 instead of 4, in correspondence to capabilities of contemporary
  1815 hardware and Poly/ML runtime system.
  1816 
  1817 * Type Seq.results and related operations support embedded error
  1818 messages within lazy enumerations, and thus allow to provide
  1819 informative errors in the absence of any usable results.
  1820 
  1821 * Renamed Position.str_of to Position.here to emphasize that this is a
  1822 formal device to inline positions into message text, but not
  1823 necessarily printing visible text.
  1824 
  1825 
  1826 *** System ***
  1827 
  1828 * Advanced support for Isabelle sessions and build management, see
  1829 "system" manual for the chapter of that name, especially the "isabelle
  1830 build" tool and its examples.  The "isabelle mkroot" tool prepares
  1831 session root directories for use with "isabelle build", similar to
  1832 former "isabelle mkdir" for "isabelle usedir".  Note that this affects
  1833 document preparation as well.  INCOMPATIBILITY, isabelle usedir /
  1834 mkdir / make are rendered obsolete.
  1835 
  1836 * Discontinued obsolete Isabelle/build script, it is superseded by the
  1837 regular isabelle build tool.  For example:
  1838 
  1839   isabelle build -s -b HOL
  1840 
  1841 * Discontinued obsolete "isabelle makeall".
  1842 
  1843 * Discontinued obsolete IsaMakefile and ROOT.ML files from the
  1844 Isabelle distribution, except for rudimentary src/HOL/IsaMakefile that
  1845 provides some traditional targets that invoke "isabelle build".  Note
  1846 that this is inefficient!  Applications of Isabelle/HOL involving
  1847 "isabelle make" should be upgraded to use "isabelle build" directly.
  1848 
  1849 * The "isabelle options" tool prints Isabelle system options, as
  1850 required for "isabelle build", for example.
  1851 
  1852 * The "isabelle logo" tool produces EPS and PDF format simultaneously.
  1853 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY in command-line options.
  1854 
  1855 * The "isabelle install" tool has now a simpler command-line.  Minor
  1856 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1857 
  1858 * The "isabelle components" tool helps to resolve add-on components
  1859 that are not bundled, or referenced from a bare-bones repository
  1860 version of Isabelle.
  1861 
  1862 * Settings variable ISABELLE_PLATFORM_FAMILY refers to the general
  1863 platform family: "linux", "macos", "windows".
  1864 
  1865 * The ML system is configured as regular component, and no longer
  1866 picked up from some surrounding directory.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  1867 for home-made settings.
  1868 
  1869 * Improved ML runtime statistics (heap, threads, future tasks etc.).
  1870 
  1871 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2.1, which was the last version
  1872 without exception positions and advanced ML compiler/toplevel
  1873 configuration.
  1874 
  1875 * Discontinued special treatment of Proof General -- no longer guess
  1876 PROOFGENERAL_HOME based on accidental file-system layout.  Minor
  1877 INCOMPATIBILITY: provide PROOFGENERAL_HOME and PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS
  1878 settings manually, or use a Proof General version that has been
  1879 bundled as Isabelle component.
  1880 
  1881 
  1882 
  1883 New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
  1884 ------------------------------
  1885 
  1886 *** General ***
  1887 
  1888 * Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:
  1889 
  1890   - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
  1891     command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  1892   - markup for bound variables
  1893   - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  1894   - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  1895   - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
  1896     e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)
  1897 
  1898 * Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
  1899 header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
  1900 commands to be used in the same theory where defined.
  1901 
  1902 * Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
  1903 additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
  1904 nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
  1905 'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
  1906 accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:
  1907 
  1908   context
  1909     fixes x y z :: 'a
  1910     assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  1911   begin
  1912 
  1913   lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp
  1914 
  1915   end
  1916 
  1917   thm my_trans
  1918 
  1919 The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
  1920 several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
  1921 ~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy
  1922 
  1923 Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
  1924 ... begin ... end" block as well.
  1925 
  1926 * Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
  1927 given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
  1928 contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
  1929 the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
  1930 commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.
  1931 
  1932 * Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
  1933 declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
  1934 old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
  1935 becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
  1936 indices of schematic variables.
  1937 
  1938 * Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
  1939 are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
  1940 of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1941 the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
  1942 etc. was exploited.
  1943 
  1944 * New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
  1945 ("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
  1946 Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
  1947 also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
  1948 Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
  1949 of the material of that old tutorial.
  1950 
  1951 * Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
  1952 "implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
  1953 manual.
  1954 
  1955 
  1956 *** Pure ***
  1957 
  1958 * Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
  1959 into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
  1960 "def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.
  1961 
  1962 * Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
  1963 "f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
  1964 expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
  1965 undocumented feature.)
  1966 
  1967 * Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
  1968 like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
  1969 distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:
  1970 
  1971   lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"
  1972 
  1973   lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
  1974     -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"
  1975 
  1976 * Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
  1977 tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
  1978 unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
  1979 order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)
  1980 
  1981 * Renamed some inner syntax categories:
  1982 
  1983     num ~> num_token
  1984     xnum ~> xnum_token
  1985     xstr ~> str_token
  1986 
  1987 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
  1988 "num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
  1989 position information via constraints).
  1990 
  1991 * Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
  1992 "syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
  1993 manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  1994 
  1995 * Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
  1996 in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.
  1997 
  1998 * Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
  1999 'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
  2000 Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2001 
  2002 * Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
  2003 "code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2004 
  2005 * Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
  2006 "code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like
  2007 
  2008   definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"
  2009 
  2010 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2011 
  2012 * Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
  2013 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2014 
  2015 * Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
  2016 collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
  2017 legacy since Isabelle2011).
  2018 
  2019 
  2020 *** HOL ***
  2021 
  2022 * Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
  2023 Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
  2024 Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
  2025 sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
  2026 been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
  2027 predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
  2028 Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
  2029 tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
  2030 possible.
  2031 
  2032 For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
  2033 planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
  2034 and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
  2035 Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.
  2036 
  2037 * Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
  2038 than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2039 
  2040 * New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set
  2041 
  2042 * The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
  2043 represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
  2044 "numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
  2045 positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
  2046 definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
  2047 user theories may require adaptations as follows:
  2048 
  2049   - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
  2050     classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.
  2051 
  2052   - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
  2053     and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
  2054     after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.
  2055 
  2056   - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
  2057     pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.
  2058 
  2059   - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
  2060     automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
  2061     simprocs may now apply within the proof.
  2062 
  2063   - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
  2064     Redefine using other integer operations.
  2065 
  2066 * Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
  2067 "descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
  2068 package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
  2069 development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
  2070 corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)
  2071 
  2072   - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
  2073     which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
  2074     relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
  2075     or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
  2076     operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:
  2077 
  2078     ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
  2079     (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int
  2080 
  2081   - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
  2082     equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
  2083     replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
  2084     Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
  2085     necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
  2086     for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
  2087     variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
  2088     is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).
  2089 
  2090   - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
  2091     various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
  2092     transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
  2093     non-polymorphic constants on the fly.
  2094 
  2095   - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
  2096     new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
  2097     constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
  2098     after unfolding the constant definitions.
  2099 
  2100   - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
  2101     from type nat to type int.
  2102 
  2103 * Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
  2104 facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.
  2105 
  2106   - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
  2107     terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
  2108     type.  Example syntax:
  2109 
  2110     lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
  2111       is List.insert
  2112 
  2113     Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
  2114     constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
  2115     the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
  2116     presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
  2117     theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
  2118     by the package.
  2119 
  2120   - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
  2121     corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
  2122     lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
  2123     code generation for each constant.
  2124 
  2125   - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
  2126     user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
  2127     or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
  2128     rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
  2129     lift_definition command to work with the type.
  2130 
  2131   - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
  2132     Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
  2133     Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.
  2134 
  2135 * Quotient package:
  2136 
  2137   - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
  2138     rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.
  2139 
  2140   - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
  2141     Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.
  2142 
  2143   - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
  2144     respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
  2145     defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2146 
  2147   - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
  2148     accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2149 
  2150 * New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
  2151 superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.
  2152 
  2153 * Quickcheck:
  2154 
  2155   - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
  2156     allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
  2157     For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
  2158     assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
  2159     any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.
  2160 
  2161     These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
  2162     Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
  2163     obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".
  2164 
  2165     After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
  2166     continues searching for genuine ones.
  2167 
  2168     By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
  2169     counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
  2170     show genuine counterexamples.
  2171 
  2172   - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
  2173     value generators for a given type and operations.
  2174 
  2175     It generates values by using the operations as if they were
  2176     constructors of that type.
  2177 
  2178   - Support for multisets.
  2179 
  2180   - Added "use_subtype" options.
  2181 
  2182   - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
  2183     conjectures in a locale context.
  2184 
  2185 * Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
  2186 and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.
  2187 
  2188 * Sledgehammer:
  2189   - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
  2190     paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  2191   - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  2192   - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
  2193     TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  2194   - Sped up the minimizer.
  2195   - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  2196   - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  2197   - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".
  2198 
  2199 * Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
  2200 parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").
  2201 
  2202 * SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".
  2203 
  2204 * Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2205 
  2206 * New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
  2207 case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.
  2208 
  2209   list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]
  2210 
  2211 produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
  2212 a list and a nat.
  2213 
  2214 * New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
  2215 eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.
  2216 
  2217 * Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
  2218 "typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
  2219 default.
  2220 
  2221 * Record: code generation can be switched off manually with
  2222 
  2223   declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"
  2224 
  2225 * Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.
  2226 
  2227 * Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
  2228 positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
  2229 INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
  2230 pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
  2231 one_case.
  2232 
  2233 * Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
  2234 the result of the fact expression.
  2235 
  2236 * More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
  2237 and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
  2238 of some relation theorems:
  2239 
  2240   converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  2241   rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  2242   symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  2243   transp_def ~> transp_trans
  2244   Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  2245   Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]
  2246 
  2247 Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.
  2248 
  2249 See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
  2250 conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".
  2251 
  2252 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2253 
  2254 * Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
  2255 to match the constant's name:
  2256 
  2257   rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  2258   rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I

  2281 
  2282 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2283 
  2284 * Theory Relation: Consolidated constant name for relation composition
  2285 and corresponding theorem names:
  2286 
  2287   - Renamed constant rel_comp to relcomp.
  2288 
  2289   - Dropped abbreviation pred_comp. Use relcompp instead.
  2290 
  2291   - Renamed theorems:

  2295     rel_compE ~> relcompE

  2350 
  2351 * Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2352 
  2353 * Consolidated theorem names concerning fold combinators:

  2356   sup_SUPR_fold_sup ~> sup_SUP_fold_sup

  2373 
  2374 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2375

  2383 INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
  2384 and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
  2385 useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
  2386 unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".
  2387

  2567 * Theory HOL/Library/Float: Floating point numbers are now defined as
  2568 a subset of the real numbers.  All operations are defined using the
  2569 lifing-framework and proofs use the transfer method.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2632 * New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
  2633 association lists with distinct keys.
  2634 
  2635 * Session HOL/IMP: Added new theory of abstract interpretation of
  2636 annotated commands.
  2637 
  2638 * Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
  2639 simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
  2640 available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
  2641 dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2642 
  2643 * Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
  2644 type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
  2645 instead.

  2689 * Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
  2690 machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
  2691 defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
  2692 multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
  2693 constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
  2694 many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
  2695 order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
  2696 HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.
  2697 
  2698 * Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
  2699 represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
  2700 measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
  2701 locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
  2702 The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
  2703 finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
  2704 measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
  2705 an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
  2706 Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
  2707 their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
  2708 describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
  2709 and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  2736   joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate

  2876 
  2877 * New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).
  2878 
  2879 
  2880 *** ZF ***
  2881 
  2882 * Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
  2883 analysis.
  2884 
  2885 * Much greater use of mathematical symbols.
  2886 
  2887 * Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2888 
  2889 
  2890 *** ML ***
  2891 
  2892 * Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
  2893 from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.
  2894 
  2895 * Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
  2896 Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
  2897 header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.
  2898 
  2899 * Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
  2900 "foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
  2901 / Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
  2902 fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
  2903 non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
  2904 while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
  2905 INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
  2906 naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.
  2907 
  2908 * Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
  2909 conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.
  2910 
  2911 * Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
  2912 representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
  2913 declarations like Local_Theory.note.
  2914 
  2915 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  2916 ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2917 
  2918 * Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
  2919 change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
  2920 context as well.
  2921 
  2922 * Modernized some old-style infix operations:
  2923 
  2924   addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  2925   deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  2926   addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong

  2936 
  2937 
  2938 *** System ***
  2939 
  2940 * USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
  2941 directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
  2942 the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
  2943 of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
  2944 explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
  2945 evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
  2946 the generic user home was intended.
  2947 
  2948 * ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
  2949 notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.
  2950 
  2951 * ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
  2952 (not just JRE).
  2953 
  2954 
  2955 
  2956 New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
  2957 ------------------------------------
  2958 
  2959 *** General ***
  2960 
  2961 * Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
  2962 "isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.
  2963 
  2964   - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
  2965     buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
  2966     files for checking).
  2967 
  2968   - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
  2969     highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
  2970     positions.
  2971 
  2972   - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
  2973     buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
  2974     theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).
  2975 
  2976   - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
  2977     based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
  2978     narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)
  2979 
  2980   - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
  2981     cores.
  2982 
  2983   - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
  2984     versions (garbage collection).
  2985 
  2986 See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
  2987 including some remaining limitations.
  2988 
  2989 * Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
  2990 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  2991 The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
  2992 Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
  2993 Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
  2994 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  2995 
  2996 * Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
  2997 digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
  2998 ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.
  2999 
  3000 * Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
  3001 Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
  3002 usedir option -Q.
  3003 
  3004 * Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
  3005 configuration options, with more conventional names:
  3006 
  3007   long_names   ~> names_long
  3008   short_names  ~> names_short
  3009   unique_names ~> names_unique
  3010 
  3011 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:
  3012 
  3013   declare [[names_unique = false]]
  3014 
  3015 * Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
  3016 that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
  3017 may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.
  3018 
  3019 * Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
  3020 can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].
  3021 
  3022 * Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  3023   - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  3024   - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  3025   - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
  3026     "Classical Reasoner".
  3027 
  3028 
  3029 *** HOL ***
  3030 
  3031 * Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
  3032 preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3033 
  3034 * Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
  3035 generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
  3036 complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
  3037 Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
  3038 class complete_linorder.
  3039 
  3040 Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
  3041 Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.
  3042 
  3043 Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
  3044 replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):
  3045 
  3046   Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  3047   Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  3048   Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3049   Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3050   Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  3051   Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  3052   Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  3053   Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  3054   INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  3055   UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  3056   INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]
  3057 
  3058 More consistent and comprehensive names:
  3059 
  3060   INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  3061   UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  3062   INFI_def ~> INF_def

  3073   SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  3074   INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  3075   UNION_def ~> UNION_eq
  3076 
  3077 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3078 
  3079 * Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
  3080 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3081 
  3082 * Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
  3083 INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
  3084 Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
  3085 Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3086 
  3087 * Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
  3088 compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
  3089 sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
  3090 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3091 
  3092 * Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
  3093 constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
  3094 (mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.
  3095 
  3096 * Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
  3097 referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
  3098 UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3099 
  3100 * Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
  3101 separate type class floor_ceiling.
  3102 
  3103 * Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:
  3104 
  3105     locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
  3106     locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem
  3107 
  3108 Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
  3109 adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3110 
  3111 * Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
  3112 accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3113 
  3114 * Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
  3115 bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
  3116 order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
  3117 original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3212 
  3213 * Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
  3214 generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
  3215 comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.
  3216 
  3217 * Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
  3218 a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
  3219 several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".
  3220 
  3221 * Code generation:
  3222 
  3223   - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
  3224     characters in the target language.
  3225 
  3226   - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
  3227     instead.
  3228 
  3229   - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.
  3230 
  3231   - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
  3232     reactivated by the following theory command:
  3233 
  3234       setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}
  3235 
  3236 * Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3237 
  3238 * New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
  3239 name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
  3240 from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
  3241 "induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
  3242 syntax.
  3243 
  3244 * Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
  3245 still available as a legacy feature for some time.
  3246 
  3247 * Nitpick:
  3248   - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  3249   - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  3250   - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
  3251     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3252 
  3253 * Sledgehammer:
  3254   - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  3255   - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
  3256     Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  3257   - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
  3258     this can be done within reasonable time.
  3259   - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
  3260     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3261   - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
  3262     "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  3263   - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
  3264     Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3265 
  3266 * Metis:
  3267   - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3268   - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
  3269     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3270 
  3271 * Command 'try':
  3272   - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
  3273     "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3274   - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
  3275     'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.
  3276 
  3277 * Quickcheck:
  3278   - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
  3279     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3280   - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
  3281     (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  3282   - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
  3283     narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
  3284     with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
  3285     environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  3286   - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
  3287     (formly in HOL/Library).
  3288 
  3289 * Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3290 use 'partial_function' instead.
  3291 
  3292 * Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
  3293 reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
  3294 Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.
  3295 
  3296 * Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
  3297 from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
  3298 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3299 
  3300 * Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
  3301 been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3302 
  3303 * Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
  3304 arithmetic.
  3305 
  3306 * Theory Library/Product_Lattice defines a pointwise ordering for the
  3307 product type 'a * 'b, and provides instance proofs for various order
  3308 and lattice type classes.
  3309 
  3310 * Theory Library/Countable now provides the "countable_datatype" proof
  3311 method for proving "countable" class instances for datatypes.
  3312 
  3313 * Theory Library/Cset_Monad allows do notation for computable sets
  3314 (cset) via the generic monad ad-hoc overloading facility.
  3315 
  3316 * Library: Theories of common data structures are split into theories
  3317 for implementation, an invariant-ensuring type, and connection to an
  3318 abstract type. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3319 
  3320   - RBT is split into RBT and RBT_Mapping.
  3321   - AssocList is split and renamed into AList and AList_Mapping.
  3322   - DList is split into DList_Impl, DList, and DList_Cset.
  3323   - Cset is split into Cset and List_Cset.
  3324 
  3325 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity has been renamed to
  3326 Library/Extended_Nat, with name changes of the following types and
  3327 constants:
  3328 
  3329   type inat   ~> type enat
  3330   Fin         ~> enat
  3331   Infty       ~> infinity (overloaded)
  3332   iSuc        ~> eSuc
  3333   the_Fin     ~> the_enat
  3334 
  3335 Every theorem name containing "inat", "Fin", "Infty", or "iSuc" has
  3336 been renamed accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3337 
  3338 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: The euclidean_space type class now
  3339 fixes a constant "Basis :: 'a set" consisting of the standard
  3340 orthonormal basis for the type. Users now have the option of
  3341 quantifying over this set instead of using the "basis" function, e.g.
  3342 "ALL x:Basis. P x" vs "ALL i<DIM('a). P (basis i)".
  3343 
  3344 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Type "('a, 'b) cart" has been renamed
  3345 to "('a, 'b) vec" (the syntax "'a ^ 'b" remains unaffected). Constants
  3346 "Cart_nth" and "Cart_lambda" have been respectively renamed to
  3347 "vec_nth" and "vec_lambda"; theorems mentioning those names have
  3348 changed to match. Definition theorems for overloaded constants now use
  3349 the standard "foo_vec_def" naming scheme. A few other theorems have
  3350 been renamed as follows (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  3351 
  3352   Cart_eq          ~> vec_eq_iff
  3353   dist_nth_le_cart ~> dist_vec_nth_le
  3354   tendsto_vector   ~> vec_tendstoI
  3355   Cauchy_vector    ~> vec_CauchyI
  3356 
  3357 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: Several duplicate theorems have been
  3358 removed, and other theorems have been renamed or replaced with more
  3359 general versions. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3413 * Session HOL-Probability:
  3414   - Caratheodory's extension lemma is now proved for ring_of_sets.
  3415   - Infinite products of probability measures are now available.
  3416   - Sigma closure is independent, if the generator is independent
  3417   - Use extended reals instead of positive extended
  3418     reals. INCOMPATIBILITY.

  3449 *** Document preparation ***
  3450 
  3451 * Antiquotation @{rail} layouts railroad syntax diagrams, see also
  3452 isar-ref manual, both for description and actual application of the
  3453 same.
  3454 
  3455 * Antiquotation @{value} evaluates the given term and presents its
  3456 result.
  3457 
  3458 * Antiquotations: term style "isub" provides ad-hoc conversion of
  3459 variables x1, y23 into subscripted form x\<^isub>1,
  3460 y\<^isub>2\<^isub>3.
  3461 
  3462 * Predefined LaTeX macros for Isabelle symbols \<bind> and \<then>
  3463 (e.g. see ~~/src/HOL/Library/Monad_Syntax.thy).
  3464 
  3465 * Localized \isabellestyle switch can be used within blocks or groups
  3466 like this:
  3467 
  3468   \isabellestyle{it}  %preferred default
  3469   {\isabellestylett @{text "typewriter stuff"}}
  3470 
  3471 * Discontinued special treatment of hard tabulators.  Implicit
  3472 tab-width is now defined as 1.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for visual
  3473 layouts.
  3474 
  3475 
  3476 *** ML ***
  3477 
  3478 * The inner syntax of sort/type/term/prop supports inlined YXML
  3479 representations within quoted string tokens.  By encoding logical
  3480 entities via Term_XML (in ML or Scala) concrete syntax can be
  3481 bypassed, which is particularly useful for producing bits of text
  3482 under external program control.
  3483 
  3484 * Antiquotations for ML and document preparation are managed as theory
  3485 data, which requires explicit setup.
  3486 
  3487 * Isabelle_Process.is_active allows tools to check if the official
  3488 process wrapper is running (Isabelle/Scala/jEdit) or the old TTY loop
  3489 (better known as Proof General).
  3490 
  3491 * Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
  3492 ProofContext is still available for some time as legacy alias.
  3493 
  3494 * Structure Timing provides various operations for timing; supersedes
  3495 former start_timing/end_timing etc.
  3496 
  3497 * Path.print is the official way to show file-system paths to users
  3498 (including quotes etc.).
  3499 
  3500 * Inner syntax: identifiers in parse trees of generic categories
  3501 "logic", "aprop", "idt" etc. carry position information (disguised as
  3502 type constraints).  Occasional INCOMPATIBILITY with non-compliant
  3503 translations that choke on unexpected type constraints.  Positions can
  3504 be stripped in ML translations via Syntax.strip_positions /
  3505 Syntax.strip_positions_ast, or via the syntax constant
  3506 "_strip_positions" within parse trees.  As last resort, positions can
  3507 be disabled via the configuration option Syntax.positions, which is
  3508 called "syntax_positions" in Isar attribute syntax.
  3509 
  3510 * Discontinued special status of various ML structures that contribute
  3511 to structure Syntax (Ast, Lexicon, Mixfix, Parser, Printer etc.): less
  3512 pervasive content, no inclusion in structure Syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  3513 refer directly to Ast.Constant, Lexicon.is_identifier,
  3514 Syntax_Trans.mk_binder_tr etc.
  3515 
  3516 * Typed print translation: discontinued show_sorts argument, which is
  3517 already available via context of "advanced" translation.
  3518 
  3519 * Refined PARALLEL_GOALS tactical: degrades gracefully for schematic
  3520 goal states; body tactic needs to address all subgoals uniformly.
  3521 
  3522 * Slightly more special eq_list/eq_set, with shortcut involving
  3523 pointer equality (assumes that eq relation is reflexive).
  3524 
  3525 * Classical tactics use proper Proof.context instead of historic types
  3526 claset/clasimpset.  Old-style declarations like addIs, addEs, addDs
  3527 operate directly on Proof.context.  Raw type claset retains its use as
  3528 snapshot of the classical context, which can be recovered via
  3529 (put_claset HOL_cs) etc.  Type clasimpset has been discontinued.
  3530 INCOMPATIBILITY, classical tactics and derived proof methods require
  3531 proper Proof.context.
  3532 
  3533 
  3534 *** System ***
  3535 
  3536 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.2, which was the last version
  3537 without proper multithreading and TimeLimit implementation.
  3538 
  3539 * Discontinued old lib/scripts/polyml-platform, which has been
  3540 obsolete since Isabelle2009-2.
  3541 
  3542 * Various optional external tools are referenced more robustly and
  3543 uniformly by explicit Isabelle settings as follows:
  3544 
  3545   ISABELLE_CSDP   (formerly CSDP_EXE)
  3546   ISABELLE_GHC    (formerly EXEC_GHC or GHC_PATH)
  3547   ISABELLE_OCAML  (formerly EXEC_OCAML)
  3548   ISABELLE_SWIPL  (formerly EXEC_SWIPL)
  3549   ISABELLE_YAP    (formerly EXEC_YAP)
  3550 
  3551 Note that automated detection from the file-system or search path has
  3552 been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3553 
  3554 * Scala layer provides JVM method invocation service for static
  3555 methods of type (String)String, see Invoke_Scala.method in ML.  For
  3556 example:
  3557 
  3558   Invoke_Scala.method "java.lang.System.getProperty" "java.home"
  3559 
  3560 Together with YXML.string_of_body/parse_body and XML.Encode/Decode
  3561 this allows to pass structured values between ML and Scala.
  3562 
  3563 * The IsabelleText fonts includes some further glyphs to support the
  3564 Prover IDE.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY: users who happen to have
  3565 installed a local copy (which is normally *not* required) need to
  3566 delete or update it from ~~/lib/fonts/.
  3567 
  3568 
  3569 
  3570 New in Isabelle2011 (January 2011)
  3571 ----------------------------------
  3572 
  3573 *** General ***
  3574 
  3575 * Experimental Prover IDE based on Isabelle/Scala and jEdit (see
  3576 src/Tools/jEdit).  This also serves as IDE for Isabelle/ML, with
  3577 useful tooltips and hyperlinks produced from its static analysis.  The
  3578 bundled component provides an executable Isabelle tool that can be run
  3579 like this:
  3580 
  3581   Isabelle2011/bin/isabelle jedit
  3582 
  3583 * Significantly improved Isabelle/Isar implementation manual.
  3584 
  3585 * System settings: ISABELLE_HOME_USER now includes ISABELLE_IDENTIFIER
  3586 (and thus refers to something like $HOME/.isabelle/Isabelle2011),
  3587 while the default heap location within that directory lacks that extra
  3588 suffix.  This isolates multiple Isabelle installations from each
  3589 other, avoiding problems with old settings in new versions.
  3590 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to copy/upgrade old user settings manually.
  3591 
  3592 * Source files are always encoded as UTF-8, instead of old-fashioned
  3593 ISO-Latin-1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Isabelle LaTeX documents might require
  3594 the following package declarations:
  3595 
  3596   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
  3597   \usepackage{textcomp}
  3598 
  3599 * Explicit treatment of UTF-8 sequences as Isabelle symbols, such that
  3600 a Unicode character is treated as a single symbol, not a sequence of
  3601 non-ASCII bytes as before.  Since Isabelle/ML string literals may
  3602 contain symbols without further backslash escapes, Unicode can now be
  3603 used here as well.  Recall that Symbol.explode in ML provides a
  3604 consistent view on symbols, while raw explode (or String.explode)
  3605 merely give a byte-oriented representation.
  3606 
  3607 * Theory loader: source files are primarily located via the master
  3608 directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
  3609 The global load path is still partially available as legacy feature.
  3610 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY due to subtle change in file lookup: use
  3611 explicit paths, relatively to the theory.
  3612 
  3613 * Special treatment of ML file names has been discontinued.
  3614 Historically, optional extensions .ML or .sml were added on demand --
  3615 at the cost of clarity of file dependencies.  Recall that Isabelle/ML
  3616 files exclusively use the .ML extension.  Minor INCOMPATIBILTY.
  3617 
  3618 * Various options that affect pretty printing etc. are now properly
  3619 handled within the context via configuration options, instead of
  3620 unsynchronized references or print modes.  There are both ML Config.T
  3621 entities and Isar declaration attributes to access these.
  3622 
  3623   ML (Config.T)                 Isar (attribute)

  3647 
  3648 Note that corresponding "..._default" references in ML may only be
  3649 changed globally at the ROOT session setup, but *not* within a theory.
  3650 The option "show_abbrevs" supersedes the former print mode
  3651 "no_abbrevs" with inverted meaning.
  3652 
  3653 * More systematic naming of some configuration options.
  3654 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3655 
  3656   trace_simp  ~>  simp_trace
  3657   debug_simp  ~>  simp_debug
  3658 
  3659 * Support for real valued configuration options, using simplistic
  3660 floating-point notation that coincides with the inner syntax for
  3661 float_token.
  3662 
  3663 * Support for real valued preferences (with approximative PGIP type):
  3664 front-ends need to accept "pgint" values in float notation.
  3665 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3666 
  3667 * The IsabelleText font now includes Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic from
  3668 DejaVu Sans.
  3669 
  3670 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 5.0 and 5.1 versions.
  3671 
  3672 
  3673 *** Pure ***
  3674 
  3675 * Command 'type_synonym' (with single argument) replaces somewhat
  3676 outdated 'types', which is still available as legacy feature for some
  3677 time.
  3678 
  3679 * Command 'nonterminal' (with 'and' separated list of arguments)
  3680 replaces somewhat outdated 'nonterminals'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3681 
  3682 * Command 'notepad' replaces former 'example_proof' for
  3683 experimentation in Isar without any result.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3684 
  3685 * Locale interpretation commands 'interpret' and 'sublocale' accept
  3686 lists of equations to map definitions in a locale to appropriate
  3687 entities in the context of the interpretation.  The 'interpretation'
  3688 command already provided this functionality.
  3689 
  3690 * Diagnostic command 'print_dependencies' prints the locale instances
  3691 that would be activated if the specified expression was interpreted in
  3692 the current context.  Variant "print_dependencies!" assumes a context
  3693 without interpretations.
  3694 
  3695 * Diagnostic command 'print_interps' prints interpretations in proofs
  3696 in addition to interpretations in theories.
  3697 
  3698 * Discontinued obsolete 'global' and 'local' commands to manipulate
  3699 the theory name space.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.  The ML functions
  3700 Sign.root_path and Sign.local_path may be applied directly where this
  3701 feature is still required for historical reasons.
  3702 
  3703 * Discontinued obsolete 'constdefs' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  3704 'definition' instead.
  3705 
  3706 * The "prems" fact, which refers to the accidental collection of
  3707 foundational premises in the context, is now explicitly marked as
  3708 legacy feature and will be discontinued soon.  Consider using "assms"
  3709 of the head statement or reference facts by explicit names.
  3710 
  3711 * Document antiquotations @{class} and @{type} print classes and type
  3712 constructors.
  3713 
  3714 * Document antiquotation @{file} checks file/directory entries within
  3715 the local file system.
  3716 
  3717 
  3718 *** HOL ***
  3719 
  3720 * Coercive subtyping: functions can be declared as coercions and type
  3721 inference will add them as necessary upon input of a term.  Theory
  3722 Complex_Main declares real :: nat => real and real :: int => real as
  3723 coercions. A coercion function f is declared like this:
  3724 
  3725   declare [[coercion f]]
  3726 
  3727 To lift coercions through type constructors (e.g. from nat => real to
  3728 nat list => real list), map functions can be declared, e.g.
  3729 
  3730   declare [[coercion_map map]]
  3731 
  3732 Currently coercion inference is activated only in theories including
  3733 real numbers, i.e. descendants of Complex_Main.  This is controlled by
  3734 the configuration option "coercion_enabled", e.g. it can be enabled in
  3735 other theories like this:
  3736 
  3737   declare [[coercion_enabled]]
  3738 
  3739 * Command 'partial_function' provides basic support for recursive
  3740 function definitions over complete partial orders.  Concrete instances
  3741 are provided for i) the option type, ii) tail recursion on arbitrary
  3742 types, and iii) the heap monad of Imperative_HOL.  See
  3743 src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy and src/HOL/Imperative_HOL/ex/Linked_Lists.thy
  3744 for examples.
  3745 
  3746 * Function package: f.psimps rules are no longer implicitly declared
  3747 as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3748 
  3749 * Datatype package: theorems generated for executable equality (class
  3750 "eq") carry proper names and are treated as default code equations.
  3751 
  3752 * Inductive package: now offers command 'inductive_simps' to
  3753 automatically derive instantiated and simplified equations for
  3754 inductive predicates, similar to 'inductive_cases'.
  3755 
  3756 * Command 'enriched_type' allows to register properties of the
  3757 functorial structure of types.
  3758 
  3759 * Improved infrastructure for term evaluation using code generator
  3760 techniques, in particular static evaluation conversions.
  3761 
  3762 * Code generator: Scala (2.8 or higher) has been added to the target
  3763 languages.
  3764 
  3765 * Code generator: globbing constant expressions "*" and "Theory.*"
  3766 have been replaced by the more idiomatic "_" and "Theory._".
  3767 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3768 
  3769 * Code generator: export_code without explicit file declaration prints
  3770 to standard output.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3771 
  3772 * Code generator: do not print function definitions for case
  3773 combinators any longer.
  3774 
  3775 * Code generator: simplification with rules determined with
  3776 src/Tools/Code/code_simp.ML and method "code_simp".
  3777 
  3778 * Code generator for records: more idiomatic representation of record
  3779 types.  Warning: records are not covered by ancient SML code
  3780 generation any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  In cases of need, a suitable
  3781 rep_datatype declaration helps to succeed then:
  3782 
  3783   record 'a foo = ...
  3784   ...
  3785   rep_datatype foo_ext ...
  3786 
  3787 * Records: logical foundation type for records does not carry a
  3788 '_type' suffix any longer (obsolete due to authentic syntax).
  3789 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3790 
  3791 * Quickcheck now by default uses exhaustive testing instead of random
  3792 testing.  Random testing can be invoked by "quickcheck [random]",
  3793 exhaustive testing by "quickcheck [exhaustive]".
  3794 
  3795 * Quickcheck instantiates polymorphic types with small finite
  3796 datatypes by default. This enables a simple execution mechanism to
  3797 handle quantifiers and function equality over the finite datatypes.
  3798 
  3799 * Quickcheck random generator has been renamed from "code" to
  3800 "random".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3801 
  3802 * Quickcheck now has a configurable time limit which is set to 30
  3803 seconds by default. This can be changed by adding [timeout = n] to the
  3804 quickcheck command. The time limit for Auto Quickcheck is still set
  3805 independently.
  3806 
  3807 * Quickcheck in locales considers interpretations of that locale for
  3808 counter example search.
  3809 
  3810 * Sledgehammer:
  3811   - Added "smt" and "remote_smt" provers based on the "smt" proof
  3812     method. See the Sledgehammer manual for details ("isabelle doc
  3813     sledgehammer").
  3814   - Renamed commands:
  3815     sledgehammer atp_info ~> sledgehammer running_provers
  3816     sledgehammer atp_kill ~> sledgehammer kill_provers
  3817     sledgehammer available_atps ~> sledgehammer available_provers
  3818     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3819   - Renamed options:
  3820     sledgehammer [atps = ...] ~> sledgehammer [provers = ...]
  3821     sledgehammer [atp = ...] ~> sledgehammer [prover = ...]
  3822     sledgehammer [timeout = 77 s] ~> sledgehammer [timeout = 77]
  3823     (and "ms" and "min" are no longer supported)
  3824     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3825 
  3826 * Nitpick:
  3827   - Renamed options:
  3828     nitpick [timeout = 77 s] ~> nitpick [timeout = 77]
  3829     nitpick [tac_timeout = 777 ms] ~> nitpick [tac_timeout = 0.777]
  3830     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3831   - Added support for partial quotient types.
  3832   - Added local versions of the "Nitpick.register_xxx" functions.
  3833   - Added "whack" option.
  3834   - Allow registration of quotient types as codatatypes.
  3835   - Improved "merge_type_vars" option to merge more types.
  3836   - Removed unsound "fast_descrs" option.
  3837   - Added custom symmetry breaking for datatypes, making it possible to reach
  3838     higher cardinalities.
  3839   - Prevent the expansion of too large definitions.
  3840 
  3841 * Proof methods "metis" and "meson" now have configuration options
  3842 "meson_trace", "metis_trace", and "metis_verbose" that can be enabled
  3843 to diagnose these tools. E.g.
  3844 
  3845     using [[metis_trace = true]]
  3846 
  3847 * Auto Solve: Renamed "Auto Solve Direct".  The tool is now available
  3848 manually as command 'solve_direct'.
  3849 
  3850 * The default SMT solver Z3 must be enabled explicitly (due to
  3851 licensing issues) by setting the environment variable
  3852 Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL in etc/settings of the component, for example.  For
  3853 commercial applications, the SMT solver CVC3 is provided as fall-back;
  3854 changing the SMT solver is done via the configuration option
  3855 "smt_solver".
  3856 
  3857 * Remote SMT solvers need to be referred to by the "remote_" prefix,
  3858 i.e. "remote_cvc3" and "remote_z3".
  3859 
  3860 * Added basic SMT support for datatypes, records, and typedefs using
  3861 the oracle mode (no proofs).  Direct support of pairs has been dropped
  3862 in exchange (pass theorems fst_conv snd_conv pair_collapse to the SMT
  3863 support for a similar behavior).  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3864 
  3865 * Changed SMT configuration options:
  3866   - Renamed:
  3867     z3_proofs ~> smt_oracle (with inverted meaning)
  3868     z3_trace_assms ~> smt_trace_used_facts
  3869     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3870   - Added:
  3871     smt_verbose
  3872     smt_random_seed
  3873     smt_datatypes
  3874     smt_infer_triggers
  3875     smt_monomorph_limit
  3876     cvc3_options
  3877     remote_cvc3_options
  3878     remote_z3_options
  3879     yices_options
  3880 
  3881 * Boogie output files (.b2i files) need to be declared in the theory
  3882 header.
  3883 
  3884 * Simplification procedure "list_to_set_comprehension" rewrites list
  3885 comprehensions applied to List.set to set comprehensions.  Occasional
  3886 INCOMPATIBILITY, may be deactivated like this:
  3887 
  3888   declare [[simproc del: list_to_set_comprehension]]
  3889 
  3890 * Removed old version of primrec package.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3891 
  3892 * Removed simplifier congruence rule of "prod_case", as has for long
  3893 been the case with "split".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3894 
  3895 * String.literal is a type, but not a datatype.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3896 
  3897 * Removed [split_format ... and ... and ...] version of
  3898 [split_format].  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3899 
  3900 * Predicate "sorted" now defined inductively, with nice induction
  3901 rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY: former sorted.simps now named sorted_simps.
  3902 
  3903 * Constant "contents" renamed to "the_elem", to free the generic name
  3904 contents for other uses.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3905 
  3906 * Renamed class eq and constant eq (for code generation) to class
  3907 equal and constant equal, plus renaming of related facts and various
  3908 tuning.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3909 
  3910 * Dropped type classes mult_mono and mult_mono1.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3911 
  3912 * Removed output syntax "'a ~=> 'b" for "'a => 'b option".
  3913 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3914 
  3915 * Renamed theory Fset to Cset, type Fset.fset to Cset.set, in order to
  3916 avoid confusion with finite sets.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3917 
  3918 * Abandoned locales equiv, congruent and congruent2 for equivalence
  3919 relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use equivI rather than equiv_intro (same
  3920 for congruent(2)).
  3921 
  3922 * Some previously unqualified names have been qualified:
  3923 
  3924   types
  3925     bool ~> HOL.bool
  3926     nat ~> Nat.nat
  3927 
  3928   constants
  3929     Trueprop ~> HOL.Trueprop
  3930     True ~> HOL.True
  3931     False ~> HOL.False
  3932     op & ~> HOL.conj
  3933     op | ~> HOL.disj
  3934     op --> ~> HOL.implies
  3935     op = ~> HOL.eq
  3936     Not ~> HOL.Not
  3937     The ~> HOL.The
  3938     All ~> HOL.All
  3939     Ex ~> HOL.Ex
  3940     Ex1 ~> HOL.Ex1
  3941     Let ~> HOL.Let
  3942     If ~> HOL.If
  3943     Ball ~> Set.Ball
  3944     Bex ~> Set.Bex
  3945     Suc ~> Nat.Suc
  3946     Pair ~> Product_Type.Pair
  3947     fst ~> Product_Type.fst
  3948     snd ~> Product_Type.snd
  3949     curry ~> Product_Type.curry
  3950     op : ~> Set.member
  3951     Collect ~> Set.Collect
  3952 
  3953 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3954 
  3955 * More canonical naming convention for some fundamental definitions:
  3956 
  3957     bot_bool_eq ~> bot_bool_def
  3958     top_bool_eq ~> top_bool_def
  3959     inf_bool_eq ~> inf_bool_def
  3960     sup_bool_eq ~> sup_bool_def
  3961     bot_fun_eq  ~> bot_fun_def
  3962     top_fun_eq  ~> top_fun_def
  3963     inf_fun_eq  ~> inf_fun_def
  3964     sup_fun_eq  ~> sup_fun_def
  3965 
  3966 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3967 
  3968 * More stylized fact names:
  3969 
  3970   expand_fun_eq ~> fun_eq_iff
  3971   expand_set_eq ~> set_eq_iff
  3972   set_ext       ~> set_eqI
  3973   nat_number    ~> eval_nat_numeral
  3974 
  3975 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3976 
  3977 * Refactoring of code-generation specific operations in theory List:
  3978 
  3979   constants
  3980     null ~> List.null
  3981 
  3982   facts
  3983     mem_iff ~> member_def
  3984     null_empty ~> null_def
  3985 
  3986 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that these were not supposed to be used
  3987 regularly unless for striking reasons; their main purpose was code
  3988 generation.
  3989 
  3990 Various operations from the Haskell prelude are used for generating
  3991 Haskell code.
  3992 
  3993 * Term "bij f" is now an abbreviation of "bij_betw f UNIV UNIV".  Term
  3994 "surj f" is now an abbreviation of "range f = UNIV".  The theorems
  3995 bij_def and surj_def are unchanged.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3996 
  3997 * Abolished some non-alphabetic type names: "prod" and "sum" replace
  3998 "*" and "+" respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  3999 
  4000 * Name "Plus" of disjoint sum operator "<+>" is now hidden.  Write
  4001 "Sum_Type.Plus" instead.
  4002 
  4003 * Constant "split" has been merged with constant "prod_case"; names of
  4004 ML functions, facts etc. involving split have been retained so far,
  4005 though.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4006 
  4007 * Dropped old infix syntax "_ mem _" for List.member; use "_ : set _"
  4008 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4009 
  4010 * Removed lemma "Option.is_none_none" which duplicates "is_none_def".
  4011 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4012 
  4013 * Former theory Library/Enum is now part of the HOL-Main image.
  4014 INCOMPATIBILITY: all constants of the Enum theory now have to be
  4015 referred to by its qualified name.
  4016 
  4017   enum    ~>  Enum.enum
  4018   nlists  ~>  Enum.nlists
  4019   product ~>  Enum.product
  4020 
  4021 * Theory Library/Monad_Syntax provides do-syntax for monad types.
  4022 Syntax in Library/State_Monad has been changed to avoid ambiguities.
  4023 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4024 
  4025 * Theory Library/SetsAndFunctions has been split into
  4026 Library/Function_Algebras and Library/Set_Algebras; canonical names
  4027 for instance definitions for functions; various improvements.
  4028 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4029 
  4030 * Theory Library/Multiset provides stable quicksort implementation of
  4031 sort_key.
  4032 
  4033 * Theory Library/Multiset: renamed empty_idemp ~> empty_neutral.
  4034 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4035 
  4036 * Session Multivariate_Analysis: introduced a type class for euclidean
  4037 space.  Most theorems are now stated in terms of euclidean spaces
  4038 instead of finite cartesian products.
  4039 
  4040   types
  4041     real ^ 'n ~>  'a::real_vector
  4042               ~>  'a::euclidean_space
  4043               ~>  'a::ordered_euclidean_space
  4044         (depends on your needs)
  4045 
  4046   constants
  4047      _ $ _        ~> _ $$ _
  4048      \<chi> x. _  ~> \<chi>\<chi> x. _
  4049      CARD('n)     ~> DIM('a)
  4050 
  4051 Also note that the indices are now natural numbers and not from some
  4052 finite type. Finite cartesian products of euclidean spaces, products
  4053 of euclidean spaces the real and complex numbers are instantiated to
  4054 be euclidean_spaces.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4055 
  4056 * Session Probability: introduced pextreal as positive extended real
  4057 numbers.  Use pextreal as value for measures.  Introduce the
  4058 Radon-Nikodym derivative, product spaces and Fubini's theorem for
  4059 arbitrary sigma finite measures.  Introduces Lebesgue measure based on
  4060 the integral in Multivariate Analysis.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4061 
  4062 * Session Imperative_HOL: revamped, corrected dozens of inadequacies.
  4063 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4064 
  4065 * Session SPARK (with image HOL-SPARK) provides commands to load and
  4066 prove verification conditions generated by the SPARK Ada program
  4067 verifier.  See also src/HOL/SPARK and src/HOL/SPARK/Examples.
  4068 
  4069 
  4070 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  4071 
  4072 * Theorems for additive ring operations (locale abelian_monoid and
  4073 descendants) are generated by interpretation from their multiplicative
  4074 counterparts.  Names (in particular theorem names) have the mandatory
  4075 qualifier 'add'.  Previous theorem names are redeclared for
  4076 compatibility.
  4077 
  4078 * Structure "int_ring" is now an abbreviation (previously a
  4079 definition).  This fits more natural with advanced interpretations.
  4080 
  4081 
  4082 *** HOLCF ***
  4083 
  4084 * The domain package now runs in definitional mode by default: The
  4085 former command 'new_domain' is now called 'domain'.  To use the domain
  4086 package in its original axiomatic mode, use 'domain (unsafe)'.
  4087 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4088 
  4089 * The new class "domain" is now the default sort.  Class "predomain"
  4090 is an unpointed version of "domain". Theories can be updated by
  4091 replacing sort annotations as shown below.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4092 
  4093   'a::type ~> 'a::countable
  4094   'a::cpo  ~> 'a::predomain
  4095   'a::pcpo ~> 'a::domain
  4096 
  4097 * The old type class "rep" has been superseded by class "domain".
  4098 Accordingly, users of the definitional package must remove any
  4099 "default_sort rep" declarations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4100 
  4101 * The domain package (definitional mode) now supports unpointed
  4102 predomain argument types, as long as they are marked 'lazy'. (Strict
  4103 arguments must be in class "domain".) For example, the following
  4104 domain definition now works:
  4105 
  4106   domain natlist = nil | cons (lazy "nat discr") (lazy "natlist")
  4107 
  4108 * Theory HOLCF/Library/HOL_Cpo provides cpo and predomain class
  4109 instances for types from main HOL: bool, nat, int, char, 'a + 'b,
  4110 'a option, and 'a list.  Additionally, it configures fixrec and the
  4111 domain package to work with these types.  For example:
  4112 
  4113   fixrec isInl :: "('a + 'b) u -> tr"
  4114     where "isInl$(up$(Inl x)) = TT" | "isInl$(up$(Inr y)) = FF"
  4115 
  4116   domain V = VFun (lazy "V -> V") | VCon (lazy "nat") (lazy "V list")
  4117 
  4118 * The "(permissive)" option of fixrec has been replaced with a
  4119 per-equation "(unchecked)" option. See
  4120 src/HOL/HOLCF/Tutorial/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4121 
  4122 * The "bifinite" class no longer fixes a constant "approx"; the class
  4123 now just asserts that such a function exists.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4124 
  4125 * Former type "alg_defl" has been renamed to "defl".  HOLCF no longer
  4126 defines an embedding of type 'a defl into udom by default; instances
  4127 of "bifinite" and "domain" classes are available in
  4128 src/HOL/HOLCF/Library/Defl_Bifinite.thy.
  4129 
  4130 * The syntax "REP('a)" has been replaced with "DEFL('a)".
  4131 
  4132 * The predicate "directed" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4133 
  4134 * The type class "finite_po" has been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4135 
  4136 * The function "cprod_map" has been renamed to "prod_map".
  4137 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4138 
  4139 * The monadic bind operator on each powerdomain has new binder syntax
  4140 similar to sets, e.g. "\<Union>\<sharp>x\<in>xs. t" represents
  4141 "upper_bind\<cdot>xs\<cdot>(\<Lambda> x. t)".
  4142 
  4143 * The infix syntax for binary union on each powerdomain has changed
  4144 from e.g. "+\<sharp>" to "\<union>\<sharp>", for consistency with set
  4145 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4146 
  4147 * The constant "UU" has been renamed to "bottom".  The syntax "UU" is
  4148 still supported as an input translation.
  4149 
  4150 * Renamed some theorems (the original names are also still available).
  4151 
  4152   expand_fun_below   ~> fun_below_iff
  4153   below_fun_ext      ~> fun_belowI
  4154   expand_cfun_eq     ~> cfun_eq_iff
  4155   ext_cfun           ~> cfun_eqI
  4156   expand_cfun_below  ~> cfun_below_iff
  4157   below_cfun_ext     ~> cfun_belowI
  4158   cont2cont_Rep_CFun ~> cont2cont_APP
  4159 
  4160 * The Abs and Rep functions for various types have changed names.
  4161 Related theorem names have also changed to match. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4162 
  4163   Rep_CFun  ~> Rep_cfun
  4164   Abs_CFun  ~> Abs_cfun
  4165   Rep_Sprod ~> Rep_sprod
  4166   Abs_Sprod ~> Abs_sprod
  4167   Rep_Ssum  ~> Rep_ssum
  4168   Abs_Ssum  ~> Abs_ssum
  4169 
  4170 * Lemmas with names of the form *_defined_iff or *_strict_iff have
  4171 been renamed to *_bottom_iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4172 
  4173 * Various changes to bisimulation/coinduction with domain package:
  4174 
  4175   - Definitions of "bisim" constants no longer mention definedness.
  4176   - With mutual recursion, "bisim" predicate is now curried.
  4177   - With mutual recursion, each type gets a separate coind theorem.
  4178   - Variable names in bisim_def and coinduct rules have changed.
  4179

  4258 *** FOL and ZF ***
  4259 
  4260 * All constant names are now qualified internally and use proper
  4261 identifiers, e.g. "IFOL.eq" instead of "op =".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4262 
  4263 
  4264 *** ML ***
  4265 
  4266 * Antiquotation @{assert} inlines a function bool -> unit that raises
  4267 Fail if the argument is false.  Due to inlining the source position of
  4268 failed assertions is included in the error output.
  4269 
  4270 * Discontinued antiquotation @{theory_ref}, which is obsolete since ML
  4271 text is in practice always evaluated with a stable theory checkpoint.
  4272 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use (Theory.check_thy @{theory}) instead.
  4273 
  4274 * Antiquotation @{theory A} refers to theory A from the ancestry of
  4275 the current context, not any accidental theory loader state as before.
  4276 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, subtle change in semantics.
  4277 
  4278 * Syntax.pretty_priority (default 0) configures the required priority
  4279 of pretty-printed output and thus affects insertion of parentheses.
  4280 
  4281 * Syntax.default_root (default "any") configures the inner syntax
  4282 category (nonterminal symbol) for parsing of terms.
  4283 
  4284 * Former exception Library.UnequalLengths now coincides with
  4285 ListPair.UnequalLengths.
  4286 
  4287 * Renamed structure MetaSimplifier to Raw_Simplifier.  Note that the
  4288 main functionality is provided by structure Simplifier.
  4289 
  4290 * Renamed raw "explode" function to "raw_explode" to emphasize its
  4291 meaning.  Note that internally to Isabelle, Symbol.explode is used in
  4292 almost all situations.
  4293 
  4294 * Discontinued obsolete function sys_error and exception SYS_ERROR.
  4295 See implementation manual for further details on exceptions in
  4296 Isabelle/ML.
  4297 
  4298 * Renamed setmp_noncritical to Unsynchronized.setmp to emphasize its
  4299 meaning.
  4300 
  4301 * Renamed structure PureThy to Pure_Thy and moved most of its
  4302 operations to structure Global_Theory, to emphasize that this is
  4303 rarely-used global-only stuff.
  4304 
  4305 * Discontinued Output.debug.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, use plain writeln
  4306 instead (or tracing for high-volume output).
  4307 
  4308 * Configuration option show_question_marks only affects regular pretty
  4309 printing of types and terms, not raw Term.string_of_vname.
  4310 
  4311 * ML_Context.thm and ML_Context.thms are no longer pervasive.  Rare
  4312 INCOMPATIBILITY, superseded by static antiquotations @{thm} and
  4313 @{thms} for most purposes.
  4314 
  4315 * ML structure Unsynchronized is never opened, not even in Isar
  4316 interaction mode as before.  Old Unsynchronized.set etc. have been
  4317 discontinued -- use plain := instead.  This should be *rare* anyway,
  4318 since modern tools always work via official context data, notably
  4319 configuration options.
  4320 
  4321 * Parallel and asynchronous execution requires special care concerning
  4322 interrupts.  Structure Exn provides some convenience functions that
  4323 avoid working directly with raw Interrupt.  User code must not absorb
  4324 interrupts -- intermediate handling (for cleanup etc.) needs to be
  4325 followed by re-raising of the original exception.  Another common
  4326 source of mistakes are "handle _" patterns, which make the meaning of
  4327 the program subject to physical effects of the environment.
  4328

  4330 
  4331 New in Isabelle2009-2 (June 2010)
  4332 ---------------------------------
  4333 
  4334 *** General ***
  4335 
  4336 * Authentic syntax for *all* logical entities (type classes, type
  4337 constructors, term constants): provides simple and robust
  4338 correspondence between formal entities and concrete syntax.  Within
  4339 the parse tree / AST representations, "constants" are decorated by
  4340 their category (class, type, const) and spelled out explicitly with
  4341 their full internal name.
  4342 
  4343 Substantial INCOMPATIBILITY concerning low-level syntax declarations
  4344 and translations (translation rules and translation functions in ML).
  4345 Some hints on upgrading:
  4346 
  4347   - Many existing uses of 'syntax' and 'translations' can be replaced
  4348     by more modern 'type_notation', 'notation' and 'abbreviation',
  4349     which are independent of this issue.
  4350 
  4351   - 'translations' require markup within the AST; the term syntax
  4352     provides the following special forms:
  4353 
  4354       CONST c   -- produces syntax version of constant c from context
  4355       XCONST c  -- literally c, checked as constant from context
  4356       c         -- literally c, if declared by 'syntax'
  4357 
  4358     Plain identifiers are treated as AST variables -- occasionally the
  4359     system indicates accidental variables via the error "rhs contains
  4360     extra variables".
  4361 
  4362     Type classes and type constructors are marked according to their
  4363     concrete syntax.  Some old translations rules need to be written
  4364     for the "type" category, using type constructor application
  4365     instead of pseudo-term application of the default category
  4366     "logic".
  4367 
  4368   - 'parse_translation' etc. in ML may use the following
  4369     antiquotations:
  4370 
  4371       @{class_syntax c}   -- type class c within parse tree / AST
  4372       @{term_syntax c}    -- type constructor c within parse tree / AST
  4373       @{const_syntax c}   -- ML version of "CONST c" above
  4374       @{syntax_const c}   -- literally c (checked wrt. 'syntax' declarations)
  4375 
  4376   - Literal types within 'typed_print_translations', i.e. those *not*
  4377     represented as pseudo-terms are represented verbatim.  Use @{class
  4378     c} or @{type_name c} here instead of the above syntax
  4379     antiquotations.
  4380 
  4381 Note that old non-authentic syntax was based on unqualified base
  4382 names, so all of the above "constant" names would coincide.  Recall
  4383 that 'print_syntax' and ML_command "set Syntax.trace_ast" help to
  4384 diagnose syntax problems.
  4385 
  4386 * Type constructors admit general mixfix syntax, not just infix.
  4387 
  4388 * Concrete syntax may be attached to local entities without a proof
  4389 body, too.  This works via regular mixfix annotations for 'fix',
  4390 'def', 'obtain' etc. or via the explicit 'write' command, which is
  4391 similar to the 'notation' command in theory specifications.
  4392 
  4393 * Discontinued unnamed infix syntax (legacy feature for many years) --
  4394 need to specify constant name and syntax separately.  Internal ML
  4395 datatype constructors have been renamed from InfixName to Infix etc.
  4396 Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4397 
  4398 * Schematic theorem statements need to be explicitly markup as such,
  4399 via commands 'schematic_lemma', 'schematic_theorem',
  4400 'schematic_corollary'.  Thus the relevance of the proof is made
  4401 syntactically clear, which impacts performance in a parallel or
  4402 asynchronous interactive environment.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4403 
  4404 * Use of cumulative prems via "!" in some proof methods has been
  4405 discontinued (old legacy feature).
  4406 
  4407 * References 'trace_simp' and 'debug_simp' have been replaced by
  4408 configuration options stored in the context. Enabling tracing (the
  4409 case of debugging is similar) in proofs works via
  4410 
  4411   using [[trace_simp = true]]
  4412 
  4413 Tracing is then active for all invocations of the simplifier in
  4414 subsequent goal refinement steps. Tracing may also still be enabled or
  4415 disabled via the ProofGeneral settings menu.
  4416 
  4417 * Separate commands 'hide_class', 'hide_type', 'hide_const',
  4418 'hide_fact' replace the former 'hide' KIND command.  Minor
  4419 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4420 
  4421 * Improved parallelism of proof term normalization: usedir -p2 -q0 is
  4422 more efficient than combinations with -q1 or -q2.
  4423 
  4424 
  4425 *** Pure ***
  4426 
  4427 * Proofterms record type-class reasoning explicitly, using the
  4428 "unconstrain" operation internally.  This eliminates all sort
  4429 constraints from a theorem and proof, introducing explicit
  4430 OFCLASS-premises.  On the proof term level, this operation is
  4431 automatically applied at theorem boundaries, such that closed proofs
  4432 are always free of sort constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools that
  4433 inspect proof terms.
  4434 
  4435 * Local theory specifications may depend on extra type variables that
  4436 are not present in the result type -- arguments TYPE('a) :: 'a itself
  4437 are added internally.  For example:
  4438 
  4439   definition unitary :: bool where "unitary = (ALL (x::'a) y. x = y)"
  4440 
  4441 * Predicates of locales introduced by classes carry a mandatory
  4442 "class" prefix.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4443 
  4444 * Vacuous class specifications observe default sort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4445 
  4446 * Old 'axclass' command has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  4447 'class' instead.
  4448 
  4449 * Command 'code_reflect' allows to incorporate generated ML code into
  4450 runtime environment; replaces immature code_datatype antiquotation.
  4451 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4452 
  4453 * Code generator: simple concept for abstract datatypes obeying
  4454 invariants.
  4455 
  4456 * Code generator: details of internal data cache have no impact on the
  4457 user space functionality any longer.
  4458 
  4459 * Methods "unfold_locales" and "intro_locales" ignore non-locale
  4460 subgoals.  This is more appropriate for interpretations with 'where'.
  4461 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4462 
  4463 * Command 'example_proof' opens an empty proof body.  This allows to
  4464 experiment with Isar, without producing any persistent result.
  4465 
  4466 * Commands 'type_notation' and 'no_type_notation' declare type syntax
  4467 within a local theory context, with explicit checking of the
  4468 constructors involved (in contrast to the raw 'syntax' versions).
  4469 
  4470 * Commands 'types' and 'typedecl' now work within a local theory
  4471 context -- without introducing dependencies on parameters or
  4472 assumptions, which is not possible in Isabelle/Pure.
  4473 
  4474 * Command 'defaultsort' has been renamed to 'default_sort', it works
  4475 within a local theory context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4476 
  4477 
  4478 *** HOL ***
  4479 
  4480 * Command 'typedef' now works within a local theory context -- without
  4481 introducing dependencies on parameters or assumptions, which is not
  4482 possible in Isabelle/Pure/HOL.  Note that the logical environment may
  4483 contain multiple interpretations of local typedefs (with different
  4484 non-emptiness proofs), even in a global theory context.
  4485 
  4486 * New package for quotient types.  Commands 'quotient_type' and
  4487 'quotient_definition' may be used for defining types and constants by
  4488 quotient constructions.  An example is the type of integers created by
  4489 quotienting pairs of natural numbers:
  4490 
  4491   fun
  4492     intrel :: "(nat * nat) => (nat * nat) => bool"
  4493   where
  4494     "intrel (x, y) (u, v) = (x + v = u + y)"
  4495 
  4496   quotient_type int = "nat * nat" / intrel
  4497     by (auto simp add: equivp_def expand_fun_eq)
  4498 
  4499   quotient_definition
  4500     "0::int" is "(0::nat, 0::nat)"
  4501 
  4502 The method "lifting" can be used to lift of theorems from the
  4503 underlying "raw" type to the quotient type.  The example
  4504 src/HOL/Quotient_Examples/FSet.thy includes such a quotient
  4505 construction and provides a reasoning infrastructure for finite sets.
  4506 
  4507 * Renamed Library/Quotient.thy to Library/Quotient_Type.thy to avoid
  4508 clash with new theory Quotient in Main HOL.
  4509 
  4510 * Moved the SMT binding into the main HOL session, eliminating
  4511 separate HOL-SMT session.
  4512 
  4513 * List membership infix mem operation is only an input abbreviation.
  4514 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4515 
  4516 * Theory Library/Word.thy has been removed.  Use library Word/Word.thy
  4517 for future developements; former Library/Word.thy is still present in
  4518 the AFP entry RSAPPS.
  4519 
  4520 * Theorem Int.int_induct renamed to Int.int_of_nat_induct and is no
  4521 longer shadowed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4522 
  4523 * Dropped theorem duplicate comp_arith; use semiring_norm instead.
  4524 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4525 
  4526 * Dropped theorem RealPow.real_sq_order; use power2_le_imp_le instead.
  4527 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4528 
  4529 * Dropped normalizing_semiring etc; use the facts in semiring classes
  4530 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4531 
  4532 * Dropped several real-specific versions of lemmas about floor and
  4533 ceiling; use the generic lemmas from theory "Archimedean_Field"
  4534 instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4569 
  4570 * Library theory "RBT" renamed to "RBT_Impl"; new library theory "RBT"

  4590 * New set of rules "ac_simps" provides combined assoc / commute
  4591 rewrites for all interpretations of the appropriate generic locales.
  4592 
  4593 * Renamed theory "OrderedGroup" to "Groups" and split theory
  4594 "Ring_and_Field" into theories "Rings" and "Fields"; for more
  4595 appropriate and more consistent names suitable for name prefixes
  4596 within the HOL theories.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4597 
  4598 * Some generic constants have been put to appropriate theories:
  4599   - less_eq, less: Orderings
  4600   - zero, one, plus, minus, uminus, times, abs, sgn: Groups
  4601   - inverse, divide: Rings
  4602 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4603 
  4604 * More consistent naming of type classes involving orderings (and
  4605 lattices):
  4606 
  4607     lower_semilattice                   ~> semilattice_inf

  4643     ordered_semiring_strict             ~> linordered_semiring_strict
  4644 
  4645   The following slightly odd type classes have been moved to a
  4646   separate theory Library/Lattice_Algebras:
  4647 
  4648     lordered_ab_group_add               ~> lattice_ab_group_add
  4649     lordered_ab_group_add_abs           ~> lattice_ab_group_add_abs
  4650     lordered_ab_group_add_meet          ~> semilattice_inf_ab_group_add
  4651     lordered_ab_group_add_join          ~> semilattice_sup_ab_group_add
  4652     lordered_ring                       ~> lattice_ring
  4653 
  4654 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4655 
  4656 * Refined field classes:
  4657   - classes division_ring_inverse_zero, field_inverse_zero,
  4658     linordered_field_inverse_zero include rule inverse 0 = 0 --
  4659     subsumes former division_by_zero class;
  4660   - numerous lemmas have been ported from field to division_ring.
  4661 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4662 
  4663 * Refined algebra theorem collections:
  4664   - dropped theorem group group_simps, use algebra_simps instead;
  4665   - dropped theorem group ring_simps, use field_simps instead;
  4666   - proper theorem collection field_simps subsumes former theorem
  4667     groups field_eq_simps and field_simps;
  4668   - dropped lemma eq_minus_self_iff which is a duplicate for
  4669     equal_neg_zero.
  4670 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4671 
  4672 * Theory Finite_Set and List: some lemmas have been generalized from
  4673 sets to lattices:
  4674 
  4675   fun_left_comm_idem_inter      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_inf
  4676   fun_left_comm_idem_union      ~> fun_left_comm_idem_sup
  4677   inter_Inter_fold_inter        ~> inf_Inf_fold_inf
  4678   union_Union_fold_union        ~> sup_Sup_fold_sup
  4679   Inter_fold_inter              ~> Inf_fold_inf
  4680   Union_fold_union              ~> Sup_fold_sup
  4681   inter_INTER_fold_inter        ~> inf_INFI_fold_inf
  4682   union_UNION_fold_union        ~> sup_SUPR_fold_sup
  4683   INTER_fold_inter              ~> INFI_fold_inf
  4684   UNION_fold_union              ~> SUPR_fold_sup
  4685 
  4686 * Theory "Complete_Lattice": lemmas top_def and bot_def have been
  4687 replaced by the more convenient lemmas Inf_empty and Sup_empty.
  4688 Dropped lemmas Inf_insert_simp and Sup_insert_simp, which are subsumed
  4689 by Inf_insert and Sup_insert.  Lemmas Inf_UNIV and Sup_UNIV replace
  4690 former Inf_Univ and Sup_Univ.  Lemmas inf_top_right and sup_bot_right
  4691 subsume inf_top and sup_bot respectively.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4692 
  4693 * Reorganized theory Multiset: swapped notation of pointwise and
  4694 multiset order:
  4695 
  4696   - pointwise ordering is instance of class order with standard syntax
  4697     <= and <;
  4698   - multiset ordering has syntax <=# and <#; partial order properties
  4699     are provided by means of interpretation with prefix
  4700     multiset_order;
  4701   - less duplication, less historical organization of sections,
  4702     conversion from associations lists to multisets, rudimentary code
  4703     generation;
  4704   - use insert_DiffM2 [symmetric] instead of elem_imp_eq_diff_union,
  4705     if needed.
  4706 
  4707 Renamed:
  4708 
  4709   multiset_eq_conv_count_eq  ~>  multiset_ext_iff
  4710   multi_count_ext  ~>  multiset_ext
  4711   diff_union_inverse2  ~>  diff_union_cancelR
  4712 
  4713 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4714 
  4715 * Theory Permutation: replaced local "remove" by List.remove1.
  4716 
  4717 * Code generation: ML and OCaml code is decorated with signatures.
  4718 
  4719 * Theory List: added transpose.
  4720 
  4721 * Library/Nat_Bijection.thy is a collection of bijective functions
  4722 between nat and other types, which supersedes the older libraries
  4723 Library/Nat_Int_Bij.thy and HOLCF/NatIso.thy.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  4753   Nat_Int_Bij.bij_int_to_nat_bij  ~> bij_int_decode
  4754 
  4755 * Sledgehammer:
  4756   - Renamed ATP commands:
  4757     atp_info     ~> sledgehammer running_atps
  4758     atp_kill     ~> sledgehammer kill_atps
  4759     atp_messages ~> sledgehammer messages
  4760     atp_minimize ~> sledgehammer minimize
  4761     print_atps   ~> sledgehammer available_atps
  4762     INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4763   - Added user's manual ("isabelle doc sledgehammer").
  4764   - Added option syntax and "sledgehammer_params" to customize
  4765     Sledgehammer's behavior.  See the manual for details.
  4766   - Modified the Isar proof reconstruction code so that it produces
  4767     direct proofs rather than proofs by contradiction.  (This feature
  4768     is still experimental.)
  4769   - Made Isar proof reconstruction work for SPASS, remote ATPs, and in
  4770     full-typed mode.
  4771   - Added support for TPTP syntax for SPASS via the "spass_tptp" ATP.
  4772 
  4773 * Nitpick:
  4774   - Added and implemented "binary_ints" and "bits" options.
  4775   - Added "std" option and implemented support for nonstandard models.
  4776   - Added and implemented "finitize" option to improve the precision
  4777     of infinite datatypes based on a monotonicity analysis.
  4778   - Added support for quotient types.
  4779   - Added support for "specification" and "ax_specification"
  4780     constructs.
  4781   - Added support for local definitions (for "function" and
  4782     "termination" proofs).
  4783   - Added support for term postprocessors.
  4784   - Optimized "Multiset.multiset" and "FinFun.finfun".
  4785   - Improved efficiency of "destroy_constrs" optimization.
  4786   - Fixed soundness bugs related to "destroy_constrs" optimization and
  4787     record getters.
  4788   - Fixed soundness bug related to higher-order constructors.
  4789   - Fixed soundness bug when "full_descrs" is enabled.
  4790   - Improved precision of set constructs.
  4791   - Added "atoms" option.
  4792   - Added cache to speed up repeated Kodkod invocations on the same
  4793     problems.
  4794   - Renamed "MiniSatJNI", "zChaffJNI", "BerkMinAlloy", and
  4795     "SAT4JLight" to "MiniSat_JNI", "zChaff_JNI", "BerkMin_Alloy", and
  4796     "SAT4J_Light".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4797   - Removed "skolemize", "uncurry", "sym_break", "flatten_prop",
  4798     "sharing_depth", and "show_skolems" options.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4799   - Removed "nitpick_intro" attribute.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4800 
  4801 * Method "induct" now takes instantiations of the form t, where t is not
  4802   a variable, as a shorthand for "x == t", where x is a fresh variable.
  4803   If this is not intended, t has to be enclosed in parentheses.
  4804   By default, the equalities generated by definitional instantiations
  4805   are pre-simplified, which may cause parameters of inductive cases
  4806   to disappear, or may even delete some of the inductive cases.
  4807   Use "induct (no_simp)" instead of "induct" to restore the old
  4808   behaviour. The (no_simp) option is also understood by the "cases"
  4809   and "nominal_induct" methods, which now perform pre-simplification, too.
  4810   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4811 
  4812 
  4813 *** HOLCF ***
  4814 
  4815 * Variable names in lemmas generated by the domain package have
  4816 changed; the naming scheme is now consistent with the HOL datatype
  4817 package.  Some proof scripts may be affected, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4818 
  4819 * The domain package no longer defines the function "foo_copy" for
  4820 recursive domain "foo".  The reach lemma is now stated directly in
  4821 terms of "foo_take".  Lemmas and proofs that mention "foo_copy" must
  4822 be reformulated in terms of "foo_take", INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4823 
  4824 * Most definedness lemmas generated by the domain package (previously
  4825 of the form "x ~= UU ==> foo$x ~= UU") now have an if-and-only-if form
  4826 like "foo$x = UU <-> x = UU", which works better as a simp rule.
  4827 Proofs that used definedness lemmas as intro rules may break,
  4828 potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4829 
  4830 * Induction and casedist rules generated by the domain package now
  4831 declare proper case_names (one called "bottom", and one named for each
  4832 constructor).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4833 
  4834 * For mutually-recursive domains, separate "reach" and "take_lemma"
  4835 rules are generated for each domain, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4836 
  4837   foo_bar.reach       ~> foo.reach  bar.reach
  4838   foo_bar.take_lemmas ~> foo.take_lemma  bar.take_lemma
  4839 
  4840 * Some lemmas generated by the domain package have been renamed for
  4841 consistency with the datatype package, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4842 
  4843   foo.ind        ~> foo.induct
  4844   foo.finite_ind ~> foo.finite_induct
  4845   foo.coind      ~> foo.coinduct
  4846   foo.casedist   ~> foo.exhaust
  4847   foo.exhaust    ~> foo.nchotomy
  4848 
  4849 * For consistency with other definition packages, the fixrec package
  4850 now generates qualified theorem names, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4851 
  4852   foo_simps  ~> foo.simps
  4853   foo_unfold ~> foo.unfold
  4854   foo_induct ~> foo.induct
  4855 
  4856 * The "fixrec_simp" attribute has been removed.  The "fixrec_simp"
  4857 method and internal fixrec proofs now use the default simpset instead.
  4858 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4859 
  4860 * The "contlub" predicate has been removed.  Proof scripts should use
  4861 lemma contI2 in place of monocontlub2cont, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4862 
  4863 * The "admw" predicate has been removed, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4864 
  4865 * The constants cpair, cfst, and csnd have been removed in favor of
  4866 Pair, fst, and snd from Isabelle/HOL, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4867 
  4868 
  4869 *** ML ***
  4870 
  4871 * Antiquotations for basic formal entities:
  4872 
  4873     @{class NAME}         -- type class
  4874     @{class_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of the above
  4875 
  4876     @{type_name NAME}     -- logical type
  4877     @{type_abbrev NAME}   -- type abbreviation
  4878     @{nonterminal NAME}   -- type of concrete syntactic category
  4879     @{type_syntax NAME}   -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4880 
  4881     @{const_name NAME}    -- logical constant (INCOMPATIBILITY)
  4882     @{const_abbrev NAME}  -- abbreviated constant
  4883     @{const_syntax NAME}  -- syntax representation of any of the above
  4884 
  4885 * Antiquotation @{syntax_const NAME} ensures that NAME refers to a raw
  4886 syntax constant (cf. 'syntax' command).
  4887 
  4888 * Antiquotation @{make_string} inlines a function to print arbitrary
  4889 values similar to the ML toplevel.  The result is compiler dependent
  4890 and may fall back on "?" in certain situations.
  4891 
  4892 * Diagnostic commands 'ML_val' and 'ML_command' may refer to
  4893 antiquotations @{Isar.state} and @{Isar.goal}.  This replaces impure
  4894 Isar.state() and Isar.goal(), which belong to the old TTY loop and do
  4895 not work with the asynchronous Isar document model.
  4896 
  4897 * Configuration options now admit dynamic default values, depending on
  4898 the context or even global references.
  4899 
  4900 * SHA1.digest digests strings according to SHA-1 (see RFC 3174).  It
  4901 uses an efficient external library if available (for Poly/ML).
  4902 
  4903 * Renamed some important ML structures, while keeping the old names
  4904 for some time as aliases within the structure Legacy:
  4905 
  4906   OuterKeyword  ~>  Keyword
  4907   OuterLex      ~>  Token
  4908   OuterParse    ~>  Parse
  4909   OuterSyntax   ~>  Outer_Syntax
  4910   PrintMode     ~>  Print_Mode
  4911   SpecParse     ~>  Parse_Spec
  4912   ThyInfo       ~>  Thy_Info
  4913   ThyLoad       ~>  Thy_Load
  4914   ThyOutput     ~>  Thy_Output
  4915   TypeInfer     ~>  Type_Infer
  4916 
  4917 Note that "open Legacy" simplifies porting of sources, but forgetting
  4918 to remove it again will complicate porting again in the future.
  4919 
  4920 * Most operations that refer to a global context are named
  4921 accordingly, e.g. Simplifier.global_context or
  4922 ProofContext.init_global.  There are some situations where a global
  4923 context actually works, but under normal circumstances one needs to
  4924 pass the proper local context through the code!
  4925 
  4926 * Discontinued old TheoryDataFun with its copy/init operation -- data
  4927 needs to be pure.  Functor Theory_Data_PP retains the traditional
  4928 Pretty.pp argument to merge, which is absent in the standard
  4929 Theory_Data version.
  4930 
  4931 * Sorts.certify_sort and derived "cert" operations for types and terms
  4932 no longer minimize sorts.  Thus certification at the boundary of the
  4933 inference kernel becomes invariant under addition of class relations,
  4934 which is an important monotonicity principle.  Sorts are now minimized
  4935 in the syntax layer only, at the boundary between the end-user and the
  4936 system.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY, may have to use Sign.minimize_sort
  4937 explicitly in rare situations.
  4938 
  4939 * Renamed old-style Drule.standard to Drule.export_without_context, to
  4940 emphasize that this is in no way a standard operation.
  4941 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4942 
  4943 * Subgoal.FOCUS (and variants): resulting goal state is normalized as
  4944 usual for resolution.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4945 
  4946 * Renamed varify/unvarify operations to varify_global/unvarify_global
  4947 to emphasize that these only work in a global situation (which is
  4948 quite rare).
  4949 
  4950 * Curried take and drop in library.ML; negative length is interpreted
  4951 as infinity (as in chop).  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.
  4952 
  4953 * Proof terms: type substitutions on proof constants now use canonical
  4954 order of type variables.  INCOMPATIBILITY for tools working with proof
  4955 terms.
  4956 
  4957 * Raw axioms/defs may no longer carry sort constraints, and raw defs
  4958 may no longer carry premises.  User-level specifications are
  4959 transformed accordingly by Thm.add_axiom/add_def.
  4960 
  4961 
  4962 *** System ***
  4963 
  4964 * Discontinued special HOL_USEDIR_OPTIONS for the main HOL image;
  4965 ISABELLE_USEDIR_OPTIONS applies uniformly to all sessions.  Note that
  4966 proof terms are enabled unconditionally in the new HOL-Proofs image.
  4967 
  4968 * Discontinued old ISABELLE and ISATOOL environment settings (legacy
  4969 feature since Isabelle2009).  Use ISABELLE_PROCESS and ISABELLE_TOOL,
  4970 respectively.
  4971 
  4972 * Old lib/scripts/polyml-platform is superseded by the
  4973 ISABELLE_PLATFORM setting variable, which defaults to the 32 bit
  4974 variant, even on a 64 bit machine.  The following example setting
  4975 prefers 64 bit if available:
  4976 
  4977   ML_PLATFORM="${ISABELLE_PLATFORM64:-$ISABELLE_PLATFORM}"
  4978 
  4979 * The preliminary Isabelle/jEdit application demonstrates the emerging
  4980 Isabelle/Scala layer for advanced prover interaction and integration.
  4981 See src/Tools/jEdit or "isabelle jedit" provided by the properly built
  4982 component.
  4983 
  4984 * "IsabelleText" is a Unicode font derived from Bitstream Vera Mono
  4985 and Bluesky TeX fonts.  It provides the usual Isabelle symbols,
  4986 similar to the default assignment of the document preparation system
  4987 (cf. isabellesym.sty).  The Isabelle/Scala class Isabelle_System
  4988 provides some operations for direct access to the font without asking
  4989 the user for manual installation.
  4990 
  4991 
  4992 
  4993 New in Isabelle2009-1 (December 2009)
  4994 -------------------------------------
  4995 
  4996 *** General ***
  4997 
  4998 * Discontinued old form of "escaped symbols" such as \\<forall>.  Only
  4999 one backslash should be used, even in ML sources.
  5000 
  5001 
  5002 *** Pure ***
  5003 
  5004 * Locale interpretation propagates mixins along the locale hierarchy.
  5005 The currently only available mixins are the equations used to map
  5006 local definitions to terms of the target domain of an interpretation.
  5007 
  5008 * Reactivated diagnostic command 'print_interps'.  Use "print_interps
  5009 loc" to print all interpretations of locale "loc" in the theory.
  5010 Interpretations in proofs are not shown.
  5011 
  5012 * Thoroughly revised locales tutorial.  New section on conditional
  5013 interpretation.
  5014 
  5015 * On instantiation of classes, remaining undefined class parameters
  5016 are formally declared.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5017 
  5018 
  5019 *** Document preparation ***
  5020 
  5021 * New generalized style concept for printing terms: @{foo (style) ...}
  5022 instead of @{foo_style style ...}  (old form is still retained for
  5023 backward compatibility).  Styles can be also applied for
  5024 antiquotations prop, term_type and typeof.
  5025 
  5026 
  5027 *** HOL ***
  5028 
  5029 * New proof method "smt" for a combination of first-order logic with
  5030 equality, linear and nonlinear (natural/integer/real) arithmetic, and
  5031 fixed-size bitvectors; there is also basic support for higher-order
  5032 features (esp. lambda abstractions).  It is an incomplete decision
  5033 procedure based on external SMT solvers using the oracle mechanism;
  5034 for the SMT solver Z3, this method is proof-producing.  Certificates
  5035 are provided to avoid calling the external solvers solely for
  5036 re-checking proofs.  Due to a remote SMT service there is no need for
  5037 installing SMT solvers locally.  See src/HOL/SMT.
  5038 
  5039 * New commands to load and prove verification conditions generated by
  5040 the Boogie program verifier or derived systems (e.g. the Verifying C
  5041 Compiler (VCC) or Spec#).  See src/HOL/Boogie.
  5042 
  5043 * New counterexample generator tool 'nitpick' based on the Kodkod
  5044 relational model finder.  See src/HOL/Tools/Nitpick and
  5045 src/HOL/Nitpick_Examples.
  5046 
  5047 * New commands 'code_pred' and 'values' to invoke the predicate
  5048 compiler and to enumerate values of inductive predicates.
  5049 
  5050 * A tabled implementation of the reflexive transitive closure.
  5051 
  5052 * New implementation of quickcheck uses generic code generator;
  5053 default generators are provided for all suitable HOL types, records
  5054 and datatypes.  Old quickcheck can be re-activated importing theory
  5055 Library/SML_Quickcheck.
  5056 
  5057 * New testing tool Mirabelle for automated proof tools.  Applies
  5058 several tools and tactics like sledgehammer, metis, or quickcheck, to
  5059 every proof step in a theory.  To be used in batch mode via the
  5060 "mirabelle" utility.
  5061 
  5062 * New proof method "sos" (sum of squares) for nonlinear real
  5063 arithmetic (originally due to John Harison). It requires theory
  5064 Library/Sum_Of_Squares.  It is not a complete decision procedure but
  5065 works well in practice on quantifier-free real arithmetic with +, -,
  5066 *, ^, =, <= and <, i.e. boolean combinations of equalities and
  5067 inequalities between polynomials.  It makes use of external
  5068 semidefinite programming solvers.  Method "sos" generates a
  5069 certificate that can be pasted into the proof thus avoiding the need
  5070 to call an external tool every time the proof is checked.  See
  5071 src/HOL/Library/Sum_Of_Squares.
  5072 
  5073 * New method "linarith" invokes existing linear arithmetic decision
  5074 procedure only.
  5075 
  5076 * New command 'atp_minimal' reduces result produced by Sledgehammer.
  5077 
  5078 * New Sledgehammer option "Full Types" in Proof General settings menu.
  5079 Causes full type information to be output to the ATPs.  This slows
  5080 ATPs down considerably but eliminates a source of unsound "proofs"
  5081 that fail later.
  5082 
  5083 * New method "metisFT": A version of metis that uses full type
  5084 information in order to avoid failures of proof reconstruction.
  5085 
  5086 * New evaluator "approximate" approximates an real valued term using
  5087 the same method as the approximation method.
  5088 
  5089 * Method "approximate" now supports arithmetic expressions as
  5090 boundaries of intervals and implements interval splitting and Taylor
  5091 series expansion.
  5092 
  5093 * ML antiquotation @{code_datatype} inserts definition of a datatype
  5094 generated by the code generator; e.g. see src/HOL/Predicate.thy.
  5095 
  5096 * New theory SupInf of the supremum and infimum operators for sets of
  5097 reals.
  5098 
  5099 * New theory Probability, which contains a development of measure
  5100 theory, eventually leading to Lebesgue integration and probability.
  5101 
  5102 * Extended Multivariate Analysis to include derivation and Brouwer's
  5103 fixpoint theorem.
  5104 
  5105 * Reorganization of number theory, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5106   - new number theory development for nat and int, in theories Divides
  5107     and GCD as well as in new session Number_Theory
  5108   - some constants and facts now suffixed with _nat and _int
  5109     accordingly
  5110   - former session NumberTheory now named Old_Number_Theory, including
  5111     theories Legacy_GCD and Primes (prefer Number_Theory if possible)
  5112   - moved theory Pocklington from src/HOL/Library to
  5113     src/HOL/Old_Number_Theory
  5114 
  5115 * Theory GCD includes functions Gcd/GCD and Lcm/LCM for the gcd and
  5116 lcm of finite and infinite sets. It is shown that they form a complete
  5117 lattice.
  5118 
  5119 * Class semiring_div requires superclass no_zero_divisors and proof of
  5120 div_mult_mult1; theorems div_mult_mult1, div_mult_mult2,
  5121 div_mult_mult1_if, div_mult_mult1 and div_mult_mult2 have been
  5122 generalized to class semiring_div, subsuming former theorems
  5123 zdiv_zmult_zmult1, zdiv_zmult_zmult1_if, zdiv_zmult_zmult1 and
  5124 zdiv_zmult_zmult2.  div_mult_mult1 is now [simp] by default.
  5125 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5126 
  5127 * Refinements to lattice classes and sets:
  5128   - less default intro/elim rules in locale variant, more default
  5129     intro/elim rules in class variant: more uniformity
  5130   - lemma ge_sup_conv renamed to le_sup_iff, in accordance with
  5131     le_inf_iff
  5132   - dropped lemma alias inf_ACI for inf_aci (same for sup_ACI and
  5133     sup_aci)
  5134   - renamed ACI to inf_sup_aci
  5135   - new class "boolean_algebra"
  5136   - class "complete_lattice" moved to separate theory
  5137     "Complete_Lattice"; corresponding constants (and abbreviations)
  5138     renamed and with authentic syntax:
  5139     Set.Inf ~>    Complete_Lattice.Inf
  5140     Set.Sup ~>    Complete_Lattice.Sup
  5141     Set.INFI ~>   Complete_Lattice.INFI
  5142     Set.SUPR ~>   Complete_Lattice.SUPR
  5143     Set.Inter ~>  Complete_Lattice.Inter
  5144     Set.Union ~>  Complete_Lattice.Union
  5145     Set.INTER ~>  Complete_Lattice.INTER
  5146     Set.UNION ~>  Complete_Lattice.UNION
  5147   - authentic syntax for
  5148     Set.Pow
  5149     Set.image
  5150   - mere abbreviations:
  5151     Set.empty               (for bot)
  5152     Set.UNIV                (for top)
  5153     Set.inter               (for inf, formerly Set.Int)
  5154     Set.union               (for sup, formerly Set.Un)
  5155     Complete_Lattice.Inter  (for Inf)
  5156     Complete_Lattice.Union  (for Sup)
  5157     Complete_Lattice.INTER  (for INFI)
  5158     Complete_Lattice.UNION  (for SUPR)
  5159   - object-logic definitions as far as appropriate
  5160 
  5161 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Care is required when theorems Int_subset_iff or
  5162 Un_subset_iff are explicitly deleted as default simp rules; then also
  5163 their lattice counterparts le_inf_iff and le_sup_iff have to be
  5164 deleted to achieve the desired effect.
  5165 
  5166 * Rules inf_absorb1, inf_absorb2, sup_absorb1, sup_absorb2 are no simp
  5167 rules by default any longer; the same applies to min_max.inf_absorb1
  5168 etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5169 
  5170 * Rules sup_Int_eq and sup_Un_eq are no longer declared as
  5171 pred_set_conv by default.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5172 
  5173 * Power operations on relations and functions are now one dedicated
  5174 constant "compow" with infix syntax "^^".  Power operation on
  5175 multiplicative monoids retains syntax "^" and is now defined generic
  5176 in class power.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5177 
  5178 * Relation composition "R O S" now has a more standard argument order:
  5179 "R O S = {(x, z). EX y. (x, y) : R & (y, z) : S}".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5180 rewrite propositions with "S O R" --> "R O S". Proofs may occasionally
  5181 break, since the O_assoc rule was not rewritten like this.  Fix using
  5182 O_assoc[symmetric].  The same applies to the curried version "R OO S".
  5183 
  5184 * Function "Inv" is renamed to "inv_into" and function "inv" is now an
  5185 abbreviation for "inv_into UNIV".  Lemmas are renamed accordingly.
  5186 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5187 
  5188 * Most rules produced by inductive and datatype package have mandatory
  5189 prefixes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5190 
  5191 * Changed "DERIV_intros" to a dynamic fact, which can be augmented by
  5192 the attribute of the same name.  Each of the theorems in the list
  5193 DERIV_intros assumes composition with an additional function and
  5194 matches a variable to the derivative, which has to be solved by the
  5195 Simplifier.  Hence (auto intro!: DERIV_intros) computes the derivative
  5196 of most elementary terms.  Former Maclauren.DERIV_tac and
  5197 Maclauren.deriv_tac should be replaced by (auto intro!: DERIV_intros).
  5198 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5199 
  5200 * Code generator attributes follow the usual underscore convention:
  5201     code_unfold     replaces    code unfold
  5202     code_post       replaces    code post
  5203     etc.
  5204   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5205 
  5206 * Renamed methods:
  5207     sizechange -> size_change
  5208     induct_scheme -> induction_schema
  5209   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5210 
  5211 * Discontinued abbreviation "arbitrary" of constant "undefined".
  5212 INCOMPATIBILITY, use "undefined" directly.
  5213 
  5214 * Renamed theorems:
  5215     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5216     Suc_eq_add_numeral_1_left -> Suc_eq_plus1_left
  5217     Suc_plus1 -> Suc_eq_plus1
  5218     *anti_sym -> *antisym*
  5219     vector_less_eq_def -> vector_le_def
  5220   INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5221 
  5222 * Added theorem List.map_map as [simp].  Removed List.map_compose.
  5223 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5224 
  5225 * Removed predicate "M hassize n" (<--> card M = n & finite M).
  5226 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5227 
  5228 
  5229 *** HOLCF ***
  5230 
  5231 * Theory Representable defines a class "rep" of domains that are
  5232 representable (via an ep-pair) in the universal domain type "udom".
  5233 Instances are provided for all type constructors defined in HOLCF.
  5234 
  5235 * The 'new_domain' command is a purely definitional version of the
  5236 domain package, for representable domains.  Syntax is identical to the
  5237 old domain package.  The 'new_domain' package also supports indirect
  5238 recursion using previously-defined type constructors.  See
  5239 src/HOLCF/ex/New_Domain.thy for examples.
  5240 
  5241 * Method "fixrec_simp" unfolds one step of a fixrec-defined constant
  5242 on the left-hand side of an equation, and then performs
  5243 simplification.  Rewriting is done using rules declared with the
  5244 "fixrec_simp" attribute.  The "fixrec_simp" method is intended as a
  5245 replacement for "fixpat"; see src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for examples.
  5246 
  5247 * The pattern-match compiler in 'fixrec' can now handle constructors
  5248 with HOL function types.  Pattern-match combinators for the Pair
  5249 constructor are pre-configured.
  5250 
  5251 * The 'fixrec' package now produces better fixed-point induction rules
  5252 for mutually-recursive definitions:  Induction rules have conclusions
  5253 of the form "P foo bar" instead of "P <foo, bar>".
  5254 
  5255 * The constant "sq_le" (with infix syntax "<<" or "\<sqsubseteq>") has
  5256 been renamed to "below".  The name "below" now replaces "less" in many
  5257 theorem names.  (Legacy theorem names using "less" are still supported
  5258 as well.)
  5259 
  5260 * The 'fixrec' package now supports "bottom patterns".  Bottom
  5261 patterns can be used to generate strictness rules, or to make
  5262 functions more strict (much like the bang-patterns supported by the
  5263 Glasgow Haskell Compiler).  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  5264 examples.
  5265 
  5266 
  5267 *** ML ***
  5268 
  5269 * Support for Poly/ML 5.3.0, with improved reporting of compiler
  5270 errors and run-time exceptions, including detailed source positions.
  5271 
  5272 * Structure Name_Space (formerly NameSpace) now manages uniquely
  5273 identified entries, with some additional information such as source
  5274 position, logical grouping etc.
  5275 
  5276 * Theory and context data is now introduced by the simplified and
  5277 modernized functors Theory_Data, Proof_Data, Generic_Data.  Data needs
  5278 to be pure, but the old TheoryDataFun for mutable data (with explicit
  5279 copy operation) is still available for some time.
  5280 
  5281 * Structure Synchronized (cf. src/Pure/Concurrent/synchronized.ML)
  5282 provides a high-level programming interface to synchronized state
  5283 variables with atomic update.  This works via pure function
  5284 application within a critical section -- its runtime should be as
  5285 short as possible; beware of deadlocks if critical code is nested,
  5286 either directly or indirectly via other synchronized variables!
  5287 
  5288 * Structure Unsynchronized (cf. src/Pure/ML-Systems/unsynchronized.ML)
  5289 wraps raw ML references, explicitly indicating their non-thread-safe
  5290 behaviour.  The Isar toplevel keeps this structure open, to
  5291 accommodate Proof General as well as quick and dirty interactive
  5292 experiments with references.
  5293 
  5294 * PARALLEL_CHOICE and PARALLEL_GOALS provide basic support for
  5295 parallel tactical reasoning.
  5296 
  5297 * Tacticals Subgoal.FOCUS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PREMS, Subgoal.FOCUS_PARAMS
  5298 are similar to SUBPROOF, but are slightly more flexible: only the
  5299 specified parts of the subgoal are imported into the context, and the
  5300 body tactic may introduce new subgoals and schematic variables.
  5301 
  5302 * Old tactical METAHYPS, which does not observe the proof context, has
  5303 been renamed to Old_Goals.METAHYPS and awaits deletion.  Use SUBPROOF
  5304 or Subgoal.FOCUS etc.
  5305 
  5306 * Renamed functor TableFun to Table, and GraphFun to Graph.  (Since
  5307 functors have their own ML name space there is no point to mark them
  5308 separately.)  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5309 
  5310 * Renamed NamedThmsFun to Named_Thms.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5311 
  5312 * Renamed several structures FooBar to Foo_Bar.  Occasional,
  5313 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5314 
  5315 * Operations of structure Skip_Proof no longer require quick_and_dirty
  5316 mode, which avoids critical setmp.
  5317 
  5318 * Eliminated old Attrib.add_attributes, Method.add_methods and related
  5319 combinators for "args".  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use simplified
  5320 Attrib/Method.setup introduced in Isabelle2009.
  5321 
  5322 * Proper context for simpset_of, claset_of, clasimpset_of.  May fall
  5323 back on global_simpset_of, global_claset_of, global_clasimpset_of as
  5324 last resort.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5325 
  5326 * Display.pretty_thm now requires a proper context (cf. former
  5327 ProofContext.pretty_thm).  May fall back on Display.pretty_thm_global
  5328 or even Display.pretty_thm_without_context as last resort.
  5329 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5330 
  5331 * Discontinued Display.pretty_ctyp/cterm etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  5332 Syntax.pretty_typ/term directly, preferably with proper context
  5333 instead of global theory.
  5334 
  5335 
  5336 *** System ***
  5337 
  5338 * Further fine tuning of parallel proof checking, scales up to 8 cores
  5339 (max. speedup factor 5.0).  See also Goal.parallel_proofs in ML and
  5340 usedir option -q.
  5341 
  5342 * Support for additional "Isabelle components" via etc/components, see
  5343 also the system manual.
  5344 
  5345 * The isabelle makeall tool now operates on all components with
  5346 IsaMakefile, not just hardwired "logics".
  5347 
  5348 * Removed "compress" option from isabelle-process and isabelle usedir;
  5349 this is always enabled.
  5350 
  5351 * Discontinued support for Poly/ML 4.x versions.
  5352 
  5353 * Isabelle tool "wwwfind" provides web interface for 'find_theorems'
  5354 on a given logic image.  This requires the lighttpd webserver and is
  5355 currently supported on Linux only.
  5356 
  5357 
  5358 
  5359 New in Isabelle2009 (April 2009)
  5360 --------------------------------
  5361 
  5362 *** General ***
  5363 
  5364 * Simplified main Isabelle executables, with less surprises on
  5365 case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5366 
  5367   - The main Isabelle tool wrapper is now called "isabelle" instead of
  5368     "isatool."
  5369 
  5370   - The former "isabelle" alias for "isabelle-process" has been
  5371     removed (should rarely occur to regular users).
  5372 
  5373   - The former "isabelle-interface" and its alias "Isabelle" have been
  5374     removed (interfaces are now regular Isabelle tools).
  5375 
  5376 Within scripts and make files, the Isabelle environment variables
  5377 ISABELLE_TOOL and ISABELLE_PROCESS replace old ISATOOL and ISABELLE,
  5378 respectively.  (The latter are still available as legacy feature.)
  5379 
  5380 The old isabelle-interface wrapper could react in confusing ways if
  5381 the interface was uninstalled or changed otherwise.  Individual
  5382 interface tool configuration is now more explicit, see also the
  5383 Isabelle system manual.  In particular, Proof General is now available
  5384 via "isabelle emacs".
  5385 
  5386 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt derivative scripts.  Users may need to
  5387 purge installed copies of Isabelle executables and re-run "isabelle
  5388 install -p ...", or use symlinks.
  5389 
  5390 * The default for ISABELLE_HOME_USER is now ~/.isabelle instead of the
  5391 old ~/isabelle, which was slightly non-standard and apt to cause
  5392 surprises on case-insensitive file-systems (such as Mac OS).
  5393 
  5394 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to move existing ~/isabelle/etc,
  5395 ~/isabelle/heaps, ~/isabelle/browser_info to the new place.  Special
  5396 care is required when using older releases of Isabelle.  Note that
  5397 ISABELLE_HOME_USER can be changed in Isabelle/etc/settings of any
  5398 Isabelle distribution, in order to use the new ~/.isabelle uniformly.
  5399 
  5400 * Proofs of fully specified statements are run in parallel on
  5401 multi-core systems.  A speedup factor of 2.5 to 3.2 can be expected on
  5402 a regular 4-core machine, if the initial heap space is made reasonably
  5403 large (cf. Poly/ML option -H).  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  5404 
  5405 * The main reference manuals ("isar-ref", "implementation", and
  5406 "system") have been updated and extended.  Formally checked references
  5407 as hyperlinks are now available uniformly.
  5408 
  5409 
  5410 *** Pure ***
  5411 
  5412 * Complete re-implementation of locales.  INCOMPATIBILITY in several
  5413 respects.  The most important changes are listed below.  See the
  5414 Tutorial on Locales ("locales" manual) for details.
  5415 
  5416 - In locale expressions, instantiation replaces renaming.  Parameters
  5417 must be declared in a for clause.  To aid compatibility with previous
  5418 parameter inheritance, in locale declarations, parameters that are not
  5419 'touched' (instantiation position "_" or omitted) are implicitly added
  5420 with their syntax at the beginning of the for clause.
  5421 
  5422 - Syntax from abbreviations and definitions in locales is available in
  5423 locale expressions and context elements.  The latter is particularly
  5424 useful in locale declarations.
  5425 
  5426 - More flexible mechanisms to qualify names generated by locale
  5427 expressions.  Qualifiers (prefixes) may be specified in locale
  5428 expressions, and can be marked as mandatory (syntax: "name!:") or
  5429 optional (syntax "name?:").  The default depends for plain "name:"
  5430 depends on the situation where a locale expression is used: in
  5431 commands 'locale' and 'sublocale' prefixes are optional, in
  5432 'interpretation' and 'interpret' prefixes are mandatory.  The old
  5433 implicit qualifiers derived from the parameter names of a locale are
  5434 no longer generated.
  5435 
  5436 - Command "sublocale l < e" replaces "interpretation l < e".  The
  5437 instantiation clause in "interpretation" and "interpret" (square
  5438 brackets) is no longer available.  Use locale expressions.
  5439 
  5440 - When converting proof scripts, mandatory qualifiers in
  5441 'interpretation' and 'interpret' should be retained by default, even
  5442 if this is an INCOMPATIBILITY compared to former behavior.  In the
  5443 worst case, use the "name?:" form for non-mandatory ones.  Qualifiers
  5444 in locale expressions range over a single locale instance only.
  5445 
  5446 - Dropped locale element "includes".  This is a major INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5447 In existing theorem specifications replace the includes element by the
  5448 respective context elements of the included locale, omitting those
  5449 that are already present in the theorem specification.  Multiple
  5450 assume elements of a locale should be replaced by a single one
  5451 involving the locale predicate.  In the proof body, declarations (most
  5452 notably theorems) may be regained by interpreting the respective
  5453 locales in the proof context as required (command "interpret").
  5454 
  5455 If using "includes" in replacement of a target solely because the
  5456 parameter types in the theorem are not as general as in the target,
  5457 consider declaring a new locale with additional type constraints on
  5458 the parameters (context element "constrains").
  5459 
  5460 - Discontinued "locale (open)".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5461 
  5462 - Locale interpretation commands no longer attempt to simplify goal.
  5463 INCOMPATIBILITY: in rare situations the generated goal differs.  Use
  5464 methods intro_locales and unfold_locales to clarify.
  5465 
  5466 - Locale interpretation commands no longer accept interpretation
  5467 attributes.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5468 
  5469 * Class declaration: so-called "base sort" must not be given in import
  5470 list any longer, but is inferred from the specification.  Particularly
  5471 in HOL, write
  5472 
  5473     class foo = ...
  5474 
  5475 instead of
  5476 
  5477     class foo = type + ...
  5478 
  5479 * Class target: global versions of theorems stemming do not carry a
  5480 parameter prefix any longer.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5481 
  5482 * Class 'instance' command no longer accepts attached definitions.
  5483 INCOMPATIBILITY, use proper 'instantiation' target instead.
  5484 
  5485 * Recovered hiding of consts, which was accidentally broken in
  5486 Isabelle2007.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, ``hide const c'' really
  5487 makes c inaccessible; consider using ``hide (open) const c'' instead.
  5488 
  5489 * Slightly more coherent Pure syntax, with updated documentation in
  5490 isar-ref manual.  Removed locales meta_term_syntax and
  5491 meta_conjunction_syntax: TERM and &&& (formerly &&) are now permanent,
  5492 INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations.  Note that &&& should not be used
  5493 directly in regular applications.
  5494 
  5495 * There is a new syntactic category "float_const" for signed decimal
  5496 fractions (e.g. 123.45 or -123.45).
  5497 
  5498 * Removed exotic 'token_translation' command.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML
  5499 interface with 'setup' command instead.
  5500 
  5501 * Command 'local_setup' is similar to 'setup', but operates on a local
  5502 theory context.
  5503 
  5504 * The 'axiomatization' command now only works within a global theory
  5505 context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5506 
  5507 * Goal-directed proof now enforces strict proof irrelevance wrt. sort
  5508 hypotheses.  Sorts required in the course of reasoning need to be
  5509 covered by the constraints in the initial statement, completed by the
  5510 type instance information of the background theory.  Non-trivial sort
  5511 hypotheses, which rarely occur in practice, may be specified via
  5512 vacuous propositions of the form SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::c).  For example:
  5513 
  5514   lemma assumes "SORT_CONSTRAINT('a::empty)" shows False ...
  5515 
  5516 The result contains an implicit sort hypotheses as before --
  5517 SORT_CONSTRAINT premises are eliminated as part of the canonical rule
  5518 normalization.
  5519 
  5520 * Generalized Isar history, with support for linear undo, direct state
  5521 addressing etc.
  5522 
  5523 * Changed defaults for unify configuration options:
  5524 
  5525   unify_trace_bound = 50 (formerly 25)
  5526   unify_search_bound = 60 (formerly 30)
  5527 
  5528 * Different bookkeeping for code equations (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  5529 
  5530   a) On theory merge, the last set of code equations for a particular
  5531      constant is taken (in accordance with the policy applied by other
  5532      parts of the code generator framework).
  5533 
  5534   b) Code equations stemming from explicit declarations (e.g. code
  5535      attribute) gain priority over default code equations stemming
  5536      from definition, primrec, fun etc.
  5537 
  5538 * Keyword 'code_exception' now named 'code_abort'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5539 
  5540 * Unified theorem tables for both code generators.  Thus [code
  5541 func] has disappeared and only [code] remains.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5542 
  5543 * Command 'find_consts' searches for constants based on type and name
  5544 patterns, e.g.
  5545 
  5546     find_consts "_ => bool"
  5547 
  5548 By default, matching is against subtypes, but it may be restricted to
  5549 the whole type.  Searching by name is possible.  Multiple queries are
  5550 conjunctive and queries may be negated by prefixing them with a
  5551 hyphen:
  5552 
  5553     find_consts strict: "_ => bool" name: "Int" -"int => int"
  5554 
  5555 * New 'find_theorems' criterion "solves" matches theorems that
  5556 directly solve the current goal (modulo higher-order unification).
  5557 
  5558 * Auto solve feature for main theorem statements: whenever a new goal
  5559 is stated, "find_theorems solves" is called; any theorems that could
  5560 solve the lemma directly are listed as part of the goal state.
  5561 Cf. associated options in Proof General Isabelle settings menu,
  5562 enabled by default, with reasonable timeout for pathological cases of
  5563 higher-order unification.
  5564 
  5565 
  5566 *** Document preparation ***
  5567 
  5568 * Antiquotation @{lemma} now imitates a regular terminal proof,
  5569 demanding keyword 'by' and supporting the full method expression
  5570 syntax just like the Isar command 'by'.
  5571 
  5572 
  5573 *** HOL ***
  5574 
  5575 * Integrated main parts of former image HOL-Complex with HOL.  Entry
  5576 points Main and Complex_Main remain as before.
  5577 
  5578 * Logic image HOL-Plain provides a minimal HOL with the most important
  5579 tools available (inductive, datatype, primrec, ...).  This facilitates
  5580 experimentation and tool development.  Note that user applications
  5581 (and library theories) should never refer to anything below theory
  5582 Main, as before.
  5583 
  5584 * Logic image HOL-Main stops at theory Main, and thus facilitates
  5585 experimentation due to shorter build times.
  5586 
  5587 * Logic image HOL-NSA contains theories of nonstandard analysis which
  5588 were previously part of former HOL-Complex.  Entry point Hyperreal
  5589 remains valid, but theories formerly using Complex_Main should now use
  5590 new entry point Hypercomplex.
  5591 
  5592 * Generic ATP manager for Sledgehammer, based on ML threads instead of
  5593 Posix processes.  Avoids potentially expensive forking of the ML
  5594 process.  New thread-based implementation also works on non-Unix
  5595 platforms (Cygwin).  Provers are no longer hardwired, but defined
  5596 within the theory via plain ML wrapper functions.  Basic Sledgehammer
  5597 commands are covered in the isar-ref manual.
  5598 
  5599 * Wrapper scripts for remote SystemOnTPTP service allows to use
  5600 sledgehammer without local ATP installation (Vampire etc.). Other
  5601 provers may be included via suitable ML wrappers, see also
  5602 src/HOL/ATP_Linkup.thy.
  5603 
  5604 * ATP selection (E/Vampire/Spass) is now via Proof General's settings
  5605 menu.
  5606 
  5607 * The metis method no longer fails because the theorem is too trivial
  5608 (contains the empty clause).
  5609 
  5610 * The metis method now fails in the usual manner, rather than raising
  5611 an exception, if it determines that it cannot prove the theorem.
  5612 
  5613 * Method "coherent" implements a prover for coherent logic (see also
  5614 src/Tools/coherent.ML).
  5615 
  5616 * Constants "undefined" and "default" replace "arbitrary".  Usually
  5617 "undefined" is the right choice to replace "arbitrary", though
  5618 logically there is no difference.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5619 
  5620 * Command "value" now integrates different evaluation mechanisms.  The
  5621 result of the first successful evaluation mechanism is printed.  In
  5622 square brackets a particular named evaluation mechanisms may be
  5623 specified (currently, [SML], [code] or [nbe]).  See further
  5624 src/HOL/ex/Eval_Examples.thy.
  5625 
  5626 * Normalization by evaluation now allows non-leftlinear equations.
  5627 Declare with attribute [code nbe].
  5628 
  5629 * Methods "case_tac" and "induct_tac" now refer to the very same rules
  5630 as the structured Isar versions "cases" and "induct", cf. the
  5631 corresponding "cases" and "induct" attributes.  Mutual induction rules
  5632 are now presented as a list of individual projections
  5633 (e.g. foo_bar.inducts for types foo and bar); the old format with
  5634 explicit HOL conjunction is no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, in
  5635 rare situations a different rule is selected --- notably nested tuple
  5636 elimination instead of former prod.exhaust: use explicit (case_tac t
  5637 rule: prod.exhaust) here.
  5638 
  5639 * Attributes "cases", "induct", "coinduct" support "del" option.
  5640 
  5641 * Removed fact "case_split_thm", which duplicates "case_split".
  5642 
  5643 * The option datatype has been moved to a new theory Option.  Renamed
  5644 option_map to Option.map, and o2s to Option.set, INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5645 
  5646 * New predicate "strict_mono" classifies strict functions on partial
  5647 orders.  With strict functions on linear orders, reasoning about
  5648 (in)equalities is facilitated by theorems "strict_mono_eq",
  5649 "strict_mono_less_eq" and "strict_mono_less".
  5650 
  5651 * Some set operations are now proper qualified constants with
  5652 authentic syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5653 
  5654     op Int ~>   Set.Int
  5655     op Un ~>    Set.Un
  5656     INTER ~>    Set.INTER
  5657     UNION ~>    Set.UNION
  5658     Inter ~>    Set.Inter
  5659     Union ~>    Set.Union
  5660     {} ~>       Set.empty
  5661     UNIV ~>     Set.UNIV
  5662 
  5663 * Class complete_lattice with operations Inf, Sup, INFI, SUPR now in
  5664 theory Set.
  5665 
  5666 * Auxiliary class "itself" has disappeared -- classes without any
  5667 parameter are treated as expected by the 'class' command.
  5668 
  5669 * Leibnitz's Series for Pi and the arcus tangens and logarithm series.
  5670 
  5671 * Common decision procedures (Cooper, MIR, Ferrack, Approximation,
  5672 Dense_Linear_Order) are now in directory HOL/Decision_Procs.
  5673 
  5674 * Theory src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation provides the new proof
  5675 method "approximation".  It proves formulas on real values by using
  5676 interval arithmetic.  In the formulas are also the transcendental
  5677 functions sin, cos, tan, atan, ln, exp and the constant pi are
  5678 allowed. For examples see
  5679 src/HOL/Descision_Procs/ex/Approximation_Ex.thy.
  5680 
  5681 * Theory "Reflection" now resides in HOL/Library.
  5682 
  5683 * Entry point to Word library now simply named "Word".
  5684 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5685 
  5686 * Made source layout more coherent with logical distribution
  5687 structure:

  5741 * If methods "eval" and "evaluation" encounter a structured proof
  5742 state with !!/==>, only the conclusion is evaluated to True (if
  5743 possible), avoiding strange error messages.
  5744 
  5745 * Method "sizechange" automates termination proofs using (a
  5746 modification of) the size-change principle.  Requires SAT solver.  See
  5747 src/HOL/ex/Termination.thy for examples.
  5748 
  5749 * Simplifier: simproc for let expressions now unfolds if bound
  5750 variable occurs at most once in let expression body.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5751 
  5752 * Method "arith": Linear arithmetic now ignores all inequalities when
  5753 fast_arith_neq_limit is exceeded, instead of giving up entirely.
  5754 
  5755 * New attribute "arith" for facts that should always be used
  5756 automatically by arithmetic. It is intended to be used locally in
  5757 proofs, e.g.
  5758 
  5759   assumes [arith]: "x > 0"
  5760 
  5761 Global usage is discouraged because of possible performance impact.
  5762 
  5763 * New classes "top" and "bot" with corresponding operations "top" and
  5764 "bot" in theory Orderings; instantiation of class "complete_lattice"
  5765 requires instantiation of classes "top" and "bot".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5766 
  5767 * Changed definition lemma "less_fun_def" in order to provide an
  5768 instance for preorders on functions; use lemma "less_le" instead.
  5769 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5770 
  5771 * Theory Orderings: class "wellorder" moved here, with explicit
  5772 induction rule "less_induct" as assumption.  For instantiation of
  5773 "wellorder" by means of predicate "wf", use rule wf_wellorderI.
  5774 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5775 
  5776 * Theory Orderings: added class "preorder" as superclass of "order".
  5777 INCOMPATIBILITY: Instantiation proofs for order, linorder
  5778 etc. slightly changed.  Some theorems named order_class.* now named
  5779 preorder_class.*.
  5780 
  5781 * Theory Relation: renamed "refl" to "refl_on", "reflexive" to "refl,
  5782 "diag" to "Id_on".
  5783 
  5784 * Theory Finite_Set: added a new fold combinator of type
  5785 
  5786   ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
  5787 
  5788 Occasionally this is more convenient than the old fold combinator
  5789 which is now defined in terms of the new one and renamed to
  5790 fold_image.
  5791 
  5792 * Theories Ring_and_Field and OrderedGroup: The lemmas "group_simps"
  5793 and "ring_simps" have been replaced by "algebra_simps" (which can be
  5794 extended with further lemmas!).  At the moment both still exist but
  5795 the former will disappear at some point.
  5796 
  5797 * Theory Power: Lemma power_Suc is now declared as a simp rule in
  5798 class recpower.  Type-specific simp rules for various recpower types
  5799 have been removed.  INCOMPATIBILITY, rename old lemmas as follows:
  5800 
  5801 rat_power_0    -> power_0
  5802 rat_power_Suc  -> power_Suc
  5803 realpow_0      -> power_0
  5804 realpow_Suc    -> power_Suc
  5805 complexpow_0   -> power_0
  5806 complexpow_Suc -> power_Suc
  5807 power_poly_0   -> power_0
  5808 power_poly_Suc -> power_Suc
  5809 
  5810 * Theories Ring_and_Field and Divides: Definition of "op dvd" has been
  5811 moved to separate class dvd in Ring_and_Field; a couple of lemmas on
  5812 dvd has been generalized to class comm_semiring_1.  Likewise a bunch
  5813 of lemmas from Divides has been generalized from nat to class
  5814 semiring_div.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  This involves the following theorem
  5815 renames resulting from duplicate elimination:
  5816

  5824 
  5825 * Theory IntDiv: removed many lemmas that are instances of class-based
  5826 generalizations (from Divides and Ring_and_Field).  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5827 rename old lemmas as follows:
  5828 
  5829 dvd_diff               -> nat_dvd_diff
  5830 dvd_zminus_iff         -> dvd_minus_iff

  5835 nat_mod_add_left_eq    -> mod_add_left_eq
  5836 nat_mod_add_right_eq   -> mod_add_right_eq
  5837 nat_mod_div_trivial    -> mod_div_trivial
  5838 nat_mod_mod_trivial    -> mod_mod_trivial

  5855 zmod_zmult_self1       -> mod_mult_self2_is_0
  5856 zmod_zmult_self2       -> mod_mult_self1_is_0
  5857 zmod_1                 -> mod_by_1
  5858 zdiv_1                 -> div_by_1
  5859 zdvd_abs1              -> abs_dvd_iff
  5860 zdvd_abs2              -> dvd_abs_iff
  5861 zdvd_refl              -> dvd_refl

  5869 zdvd_zmult_mono        -> mult_dvd_mono
  5870 zdvd_0_right           -> dvd_0_right
  5871 zdvd_0_left            -> dvd_0_left_iff
  5872 zdvd_1_left            -> one_dvd
  5873 zminus_dvd_iff         -> minus_dvd_iff
  5874 
  5875 * Theory Rational: 'Fract k 0' now equals '0'.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5876 
  5877 * The real numbers offer decimal input syntax: 12.34 is translated
  5878 into 1234/10^2. This translation is not reversed upon output.
  5879 
  5880 * Theory Library/Polynomial defines an abstract type 'a poly of
  5881 univariate polynomials with coefficients of type 'a.  In addition to
  5882 the standard ring operations, it also supports div and mod.  Code
  5883 generation is also supported, using list-style constructors.
  5884 
  5885 * Theory Library/Inner_Product defines a class of real_inner for real
  5886 inner product spaces, with an overloaded operation inner :: 'a => 'a
  5887 => real.  Class real_inner is a subclass of real_normed_vector from
  5888 theory RealVector.
  5889 
  5890 * Theory Library/Product_Vector provides instances for the product
  5891 type 'a * 'b of several classes from RealVector and Inner_Product.
  5892 Definitions of addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, norms,
  5893 and inner products are included.
  5894 
  5895 * Theory Library/Bit defines the field "bit" of integers modulo 2.  In
  5896 addition to the field operations, numerals and case syntax are also
  5897 supported.
  5898 
  5899 * Theory Library/Diagonalize provides constructive version of Cantor's
  5900 first diagonalization argument.
  5901 
  5902 * Theory Library/GCD: Curried operations gcd, lcm (for nat) and zgcd,
  5903 zlcm (for int); carried together from various gcd/lcm developements in
  5904 the HOL Distribution.  Constants zgcd and zlcm replace former igcd and
  5905 ilcm; corresponding theorems renamed accordingly.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  5906 may recover tupled syntax as follows:
  5907 
  5908     hide (open) const gcd
  5909     abbreviation gcd where
  5910       "gcd == (%(a, b). GCD.gcd a b)"
  5911     notation (output)
  5912       GCD.gcd ("gcd '(_, _')")
  5913 
  5914 The same works for lcm, zgcd, zlcm.
  5915 
  5916 * Theory Library/Nat_Infinity: added addition, numeral syntax and more
  5917 instantiations for algebraic structures.  Removed some duplicate
  5918 theorems.  Changes in simp rules.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  5919 
  5920 * ML antiquotation @{code} takes a constant as argument and generates
  5921 corresponding code in background and inserts name of the corresponding
  5922 resulting ML value/function/datatype constructor binding in place.
  5923 All occurrences of @{code} with a single ML block are generated
  5924 simultaneously.  Provides a generic and safe interface for
  5925 instrumentalizing code generation.  See
  5926 src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Ferrack.thy for a more ambitious application.
  5927 In future you ought to refrain from ad-hoc compiling generated SML
  5928 code on the ML toplevel.  Note that (for technical reasons) @{code}
  5929 cannot refer to constants for which user-defined serializations are
  5930 set.  Refer to the corresponding ML counterpart directly in that
  5931 cases.
  5932 
  5933 * Command 'rep_datatype': instead of theorem names the command now
  5934 takes a list of terms denoting the constructors of the type to be
  5935 represented as datatype.  The characteristic theorems have to be
  5936 proven.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Also observe that the following theorems
  5937 have disappeared in favour of existing ones:
  5938 
  5939     unit_induct                 ~> unit.induct
  5940     prod_induct                 ~> prod.induct
  5941     sum_induct                  ~> sum.induct
  5942     Suc_Suc_eq                  ~> nat.inject
  5943     Suc_not_Zero Zero_not_Suc   ~> nat.distinct
  5944 
  5945 
  5946 *** HOL-Algebra ***
  5947 
  5948 * New locales for orders and lattices where the equivalence relation
  5949 is not restricted to equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY: all order and lattice
  5950 locales use a record structure with field eq for the equivalence.
  5951 
  5952 * New theory of factorial domains.
  5953 
  5954 * Units_l_inv and Units_r_inv are now simp rules by default.
  5955 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Simplifier proof that require deletion of l_inv
  5956 and/or r_inv will now also require deletion of these lemmas.
  5957 
  5958 * Renamed the following theorems, INCOMPATIBILITY:
  5959 
  5960 UpperD ~> Upper_memD
  5961 LowerD ~> Lower_memD
  5962 least_carrier ~> least_closed
  5963 greatest_carrier ~> greatest_closed
  5964 greatest_Lower_above ~> greatest_Lower_below
  5965 one_zero ~> carrier_one_zero
  5966 one_not_zero ~> carrier_one_not_zero  (collision with assumption)
  5967 
  5968 
  5969 *** HOL-Nominal ***
  5970 
  5971 * Nominal datatypes can now contain type-variables.
  5972 
  5973 * Commands 'nominal_inductive' and 'equivariance' work with local
  5974 theory targets.
  5975 
  5976 * Nominal primrec can now works with local theory targets and its
  5977 specification syntax now conforms to the general format as seen in
  5978 'inductive' etc.
  5979 
  5980 * Method "perm_simp" honours the standard simplifier attributes
  5981 (no_asm), (no_asm_use) etc.
  5982 
  5983 * The new predicate #* is defined like freshness, except that on the
  5984 left hand side can be a set or list of atoms.
  5985 
  5986 * Experimental command 'nominal_inductive2' derives strong induction
  5987 principles for inductive definitions.  In contrast to
  5988 'nominal_inductive', which can only deal with a fixed number of
  5989 binders, it can deal with arbitrary expressions standing for sets of
  5990 atoms to be avoided.  The only inductive definition we have at the
  5991 moment that needs this generalisation is the typing rule for Lets in
  5992 the algorithm W:
  5993 
  5994  Gamma |- t1 : T1   (x,close Gamma T1)::Gamma |- t2 : T2   x#Gamma
  5995  -----------------------------------------------------------------
  5996          Gamma |- Let x be t1 in t2 : T2
  5997 
  5998 In this rule one wants to avoid all the binders that are introduced by
  5999 "close Gamma T1".  We are looking for other examples where this
  6000 feature might be useful.  Please let us know.
  6001 
  6002 
  6003 *** HOLCF ***
  6004 
  6005 * Reimplemented the simplification procedure for proving continuity
  6006 subgoals.  The new simproc is extensible; users can declare additional
  6007 continuity introduction rules with the attribute [cont2cont].
  6008 
  6009 * The continuity simproc now uses a different introduction rule for
  6010 solving continuity subgoals on terms with lambda abstractions.  In
  6011 some rare cases the new simproc may fail to solve subgoals that the
  6012 old one could solve, and "simp add: cont2cont_LAM" may be necessary.
  6013 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6014 
  6015 * Command 'fixrec': specification syntax now conforms to the general
  6016 format as seen in 'inductive' etc.  See src/HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  6017 examples.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6018 
  6019 
  6020 *** ZF ***
  6021 
  6022 * Proof of Zorn's Lemma for partial orders.
  6023 
  6024 
  6025 *** ML ***
  6026 
  6027 * Multithreading for Poly/ML 5.1/5.2 is no longer supported, only for
  6028 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.  Important note: the TimeLimit facility
  6029 depends on multithreading, so timouts will not work before Poly/ML
  6030 5.2.1!
  6031 
  6032 * High-level support for concurrent ML programming, see
  6033 src/Pure/Cuncurrent.  The data-oriented model of "future values" is
  6034 particularly convenient to organize independent functional
  6035 computations.  The concept of "synchronized variables" provides a
  6036 higher-order interface for components with shared state, avoiding the
  6037 delicate details of mutexes and condition variables.  (Requires
  6038 Poly/ML 5.2.1 or later.)
  6039 
  6040 * ML bindings produced via Isar commands are stored within the Isar
  6041 context (theory or proof).  Consequently, commands like 'use' and 'ML'
  6042 become thread-safe and work with undo as expected (concerning
  6043 top-level bindings, not side-effects on global references).
  6044 INCOMPATIBILITY, need to provide proper Isar context when invoking the
  6045 compiler at runtime; really global bindings need to be given outside a
  6046 theory.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6047 
  6048 * Command 'ML_prf' is analogous to 'ML' but works within a proof
  6049 context.  Top-level ML bindings are stored within the proof context in
  6050 a purely sequential fashion, disregarding the nested proof structure.
  6051 ML bindings introduced by 'ML_prf' are discarded at the end of the
  6052 proof.  (Requires Poly/ML 5.2 or later.)
  6053 
  6054 * Simplified ML attribute and method setup, cf. functions Attrib.setup
  6055 and Method.setup, as well as Isar commands 'attribute_setup' and
  6056 'method_setup'.  INCOMPATIBILITY for 'method_setup', need to simplify
  6057 existing code accordingly, or use plain 'setup' together with old
  6058 Method.add_method.
  6059 
  6060 * Simplified ML oracle interface Thm.add_oracle promotes 'a -> cterm
  6061 to 'a -> thm, while results are always tagged with an authentic oracle
  6062 name.  The Isar command 'oracle' is now polymorphic, no argument type
  6063 is specified.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify existing oracle code
  6064 accordingly.  Note that extra performance may be gained by producing
  6065 the cterm carefully, avoiding slow Thm.cterm_of.
  6066 
  6067 * Simplified interface for defining document antiquotations via
  6068 ThyOutput.antiquotation, ThyOutput.output, and optionally
  6069 ThyOutput.maybe_pretty_source.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to simplify user
  6070 antiquotations accordingly, see src/Pure/Thy/thy_output.ML for common
  6071 examples.
  6072 
  6073 * More systematic treatment of long names, abstract name bindings, and
  6074 name space operations.  Basic operations on qualified names have been
  6075 move from structure NameSpace to Long_Name, e.g. Long_Name.base_name,
  6076 Long_Name.append.  Old type bstring has been mostly replaced by
  6077 abstract type binding (see structure Binding), which supports precise
  6078 qualification by packages and local theory targets, as well as proper
  6079 tracking of source positions.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to wrap old
  6080 bstring values into Binding.name, or better pass through abstract
  6081 bindings everywhere.  See further src/Pure/General/long_name.ML,
  6082 src/Pure/General/binding.ML and src/Pure/General/name_space.ML
  6083 
  6084 * Result facts (from PureThy.note_thms, ProofContext.note_thms,
  6085 LocalTheory.note etc.) now refer to the *full* internal name, not the
  6086 bstring as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY, not detected by ML type-checking!
  6087 
  6088 * Disposed old type and term read functions (Sign.read_def_typ,
  6089 Sign.read_typ, Sign.read_def_terms, Sign.read_term,
  6090 Thm.read_def_cterms, Thm.read_cterm etc.).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should
  6091 use regular Syntax.read_typ, Syntax.read_term, Syntax.read_typ_global,
  6092 Syntax.read_term_global etc.; see also OldGoals.read_term as last
  6093 resort for legacy applications.
  6094 
  6095 * Disposed old declarations, tactics, tactic combinators that refer to
  6096 the simpset or claset of an implicit theory (such as Addsimps,
  6097 Simp_tac, SIMPSET).  INCOMPATIBILITY, should use @{simpset} etc. in
  6098 embedded ML text, or local_simpset_of with a proper context passed as
  6099 explicit runtime argument.
  6100 
  6101 * Rules and tactics that read instantiations (read_instantiate,
  6102 res_inst_tac, thin_tac, subgoal_tac etc.) now demand a proper proof
  6103 context, which is required for parsing and type-checking.  Moreover,
  6104 the variables are specified as plain indexnames, not string encodings
  6105 thereof.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6106 
  6107 * Generic Toplevel.add_hook interface allows to analyze the result of
  6108 transactions.  E.g. see src/Pure/ProofGeneral/proof_general_pgip.ML
  6109 for theorem dependency output of transactions resulting in a new
  6110 theory state.
  6111 
  6112 * ML antiquotations: block-structured compilation context indicated by
  6113 \<lbrace> ... \<rbrace>; additional antiquotation forms:
  6114 
  6115   @{binding name}                         - basic name binding
  6116   @{let ?pat = term}                      - term abbreviation (HO matching)
  6117   @{note name = fact}                     - fact abbreviation
  6118   @{thm fact}                             - singleton fact (with attributes)
  6119   @{thms fact}                            - general fact (with attributes)
  6120   @{lemma prop by method}                 - singleton goal
  6121   @{lemma prop by meth1 meth2}            - singleton goal
  6122   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by method}      - general goal
  6123   @{lemma prop1 ... propN by meth1 meth2} - general goal
  6124   @{lemma (open) ...}                     - open derivation
  6125 
  6126 
  6127 *** System ***
  6128 
  6129 * The Isabelle "emacs" tool provides a specific interface to invoke
  6130 Proof General / Emacs, with more explicit failure if that is not
  6131 installed (the old isabelle-interface script silently falls back on
  6132 isabelle-process).  The PROOFGENERAL_HOME setting determines the
  6133 installation location of the Proof General distribution.
  6134 
  6135 * Isabelle/lib/classes/Pure.jar provides basic support to integrate
  6136 the Isabelle process into a JVM/Scala application.  See
  6137 Isabelle/lib/jedit/plugin for a minimal example.  (The obsolete Java
  6138 process wrapper has been discontinued.)
  6139 
  6140 * Added homegrown Isabelle font with unicode layout, see lib/fonts.
  6141 
  6142 * Various status messages (with exact source position information) are
  6143 emitted, if proper markup print mode is enabled.  This allows
  6144 user-interface components to provide detailed feedback on internal
  6145 prover operations.
  6146 
  6147 
  6148 
  6149 New in Isabelle2008 (June 2008)
  6150 -------------------------------
  6151 
  6152 *** General ***
  6153 
  6154 * The Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual (isar-ref) has been reorganized
  6155 and updated, with formally checked references as hyperlinks.
  6156 
  6157 * Theory loader: use_thy (and similar operations) no longer set the
  6158 implicit ML context, which was occasionally hard to predict and in
  6159 conflict with concurrency.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use ML within Isar which
  6160 provides a proper context already.
  6161 
  6162 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6163 file are no longer supported.  INCOMPATIBILITY, regular 'uses' and
  6164 'use' within a theory file will do the job.
  6165 
  6166 * Name space merge now observes canonical order, i.e. the second space
  6167 is inserted into the first one, while existing entries in the first
  6168 space take precedence.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, may try to
  6169 swap theory imports.
  6170 
  6171 * Syntax: symbol \<chi> is now considered a letter.  Potential
  6172 INCOMPATIBILITY in identifier syntax etc.
  6173 
  6174 * Outer syntax: string tokens no longer admit escaped white space,
  6175 which was an accidental (undocumented) feature.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6176 white space without escapes.
  6177 
  6178 * Outer syntax: string tokens may contain arbitrary character codes
  6179 specified via 3 decimal digits (as in SML).  E.g. "foo\095bar" for
  6180 "foo_bar".
  6181 
  6182 
  6183 *** Pure ***
  6184 
  6185 * Context-dependent token translations.  Default setup reverts locally
  6186 fixed variables, and adds hilite markup for undeclared frees.
  6187 
  6188 * Unused theorems can be found using the new command 'unused_thms'.
  6189 There are three ways of invoking it:
  6190 
  6191 (1) unused_thms
  6192      Only finds unused theorems in the current theory.
  6193 
  6194 (2) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n -
  6195      Finds unused theorems in the current theory and all of its ancestors,
  6196      excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of their ancestors.
  6197 
  6198 (3) unused_thms thy_1 ... thy_n - thy'_1 ... thy'_m
  6199      Finds unused theorems in the theories thy'_1 ... thy'_m and all of
  6200      their ancestors, excluding the theories thy_1 ... thy_n and all of
  6201      their ancestors.
  6202 
  6203 In order to increase the readability of the list produced by
  6204 unused_thms, theorems that have been created by a particular instance
  6205 of a theory command such as 'inductive' or 'function' are considered
  6206 to belong to the same "group", meaning that if at least one theorem in
  6207 this group is used, the other theorems in the same group are no longer
  6208 reported as unused.  Moreover, if all theorems in the group are
  6209 unused, only one theorem in the group is displayed.
  6210 
  6211 Note that proof objects have to be switched on in order for
  6212 unused_thms to work properly (i.e. !proofs must be >= 1, which is
  6213 usually the case when using Proof General with the default settings).
  6214 
  6215 * Authentic naming of facts disallows ad-hoc overwriting of previous
  6216 theorems within the same name space.  INCOMPATIBILITY, need to remove
  6217 duplicate fact bindings, or even accidental fact duplications.  Note
  6218 that tools may maintain dynamically scoped facts systematically, using
  6219 PureThy.add_thms_dynamic.
  6220 
  6221 * Command 'hide' now allows to hide from "fact" name space as well.
  6222 
  6223 * Eliminated destructive theorem database, simpset, claset, and
  6224 clasimpset.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, really need to observe linear
  6225 update of theories within ML code.
  6226 
  6227 * Eliminated theory ProtoPure and CPure, leaving just one Pure theory.
  6228 INCOMPATIBILITY, object-logics depending on former Pure require
  6229 additional setup PureThy.old_appl_syntax_setup; object-logics
  6230 depending on former CPure need to refer to Pure.
  6231 
  6232 * Commands 'use' and 'ML' are now purely functional, operating on
  6233 theory/local_theory.  Removed former 'ML_setup' (on theory), use 'ML'
  6234 instead.  Added 'ML_val' as mere diagnostic replacement for 'ML'.
  6235 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6236 
  6237 * Command 'setup': discontinued implicit version with ML reference.
  6238 
  6239 * Instantiation target allows for simultaneous specification of class
  6240 instance operations together with an instantiation proof.
  6241 Type-checking phase allows to refer to class operations uniformly.
  6242 See src/HOL/Complex/Complex.thy for an Isar example and
  6243 src/HOL/Library/Eval.thy for an ML example.
  6244 
  6245 * Indexing of literal facts: be more serious about including only
  6246 facts from the visible specification/proof context, but not the
  6247 background context (locale etc.).  Affects `prop` notation and method
  6248 "fact".  INCOMPATIBILITY: need to name facts explicitly in rare
  6249 situations.
  6250 
  6251 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": removed obsolete/undocumented
  6252 "(open)" option, which used to expose internal bound variables to the
  6253 proof text.
  6254 
  6255 * Isar statements: removed obsolete case "rule_context".
  6256 INCOMPATIBILITY, better use explicit fixes/assumes.
  6257 
  6258 * Locale proofs: default proof step now includes 'unfold_locales';
  6259 hence 'proof' without argument may be used to unfold locale
  6260 predicates.
  6261 
  6262 
  6263 *** Document preparation ***
  6264 
  6265 * Simplified pdfsetup.sty: color/hyperref is used unconditionally for
  6266 both pdf and dvi (hyperlinks usually work in xdvi as well); removed
  6267 obsolete thumbpdf setup (contemporary PDF viewers do this on the
  6268 spot); renamed link color from "darkblue" to "linkcolor" (default
  6269 value unchanged, can be redefined via \definecolor); no longer sets
  6270 "a4paper" option (unnecessary or even intrusive).
  6271 
  6272 * Antiquotation @{lemma A method} proves proposition A by the given
  6273 method (either a method name or a method name plus (optional) method
  6274 arguments in parentheses) and prints A just like @{prop A}.
  6275 
  6276 
  6277 *** HOL ***
  6278 
  6279 * New primrec package.  Specification syntax conforms in style to
  6280 definition/function/....  No separate induction rule is provided.  The
  6281 "primrec" command distinguishes old-style and new-style specifications
  6282 by syntax.  The former primrec package is now named OldPrimrecPackage.
  6283 When adjusting theories, beware: constants stemming from new-style
  6284 primrec specifications have authentic syntax.
  6285 
  6286 * Metis prover is now an order of magnitude faster, and also works
  6287 with multithreading.
  6288 
  6289 * Metis: the maximum number of clauses that can be produced from a
  6290 theorem is now given by the attribute max_clauses.  Theorems that
  6291 exceed this number are ignored, with a warning printed.
  6292 
  6293 * Sledgehammer no longer produces structured proofs by default. To
  6294 enable, declare [[sledgehammer_full = true]].  Attributes
  6295 reconstruction_modulus, reconstruction_sorts renamed
  6296 sledgehammer_modulus, sledgehammer_sorts.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6297 
  6298 * Method "induct_scheme" derives user-specified induction rules
  6299 from well-founded induction and completeness of patterns. This factors
  6300 out some operations that are done internally by the function package
  6301 and makes them available separately.  See
  6302 src/HOL/ex/Induction_Scheme.thy for examples.
  6303 
  6304 * More flexible generation of measure functions for termination
  6305 proofs: Measure functions can be declared by proving a rule of the
  6306 form "is_measure f" and giving it the [measure_function] attribute.
  6307 The "is_measure" predicate is logically meaningless (always true), and
  6308 just guides the heuristic.  To find suitable measure functions, the
  6309 termination prover sets up the goal "is_measure ?f" of the appropriate
  6310 type and generates all solutions by Prolog-style backward proof using
  6311 the declared rules.
  6312 
  6313 This setup also deals with rules like
  6314 
  6315   "is_measure f ==> is_measure (list_size f)"
  6316 
  6317 which accommodates nested datatypes that recurse through lists.
  6318 Similar rules are predeclared for products and option types.
  6319 
  6320 * Turned the type of sets "'a set" into an abbreviation for "'a => bool"
  6321 
  6322   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  6323 
  6324   - Definitions of overloaded constants on sets have to be replaced by
  6325     definitions on => and bool.
  6326 
  6327   - Some definitions of overloaded operators on sets can now be proved
  6328     using the definitions of the operators on => and bool.  Therefore,
  6329     the following theorems have been renamed:
  6330 
  6331       subset_def   -> subset_eq
  6332       psubset_def  -> psubset_eq
  6333       set_diff_def -> set_diff_eq
  6334       Compl_def    -> Compl_eq
  6335       Sup_set_def  -> Sup_set_eq
  6336       Inf_set_def  -> Inf_set_eq
  6337       sup_set_def  -> sup_set_eq
  6338       inf_set_def  -> inf_set_eq
  6339 
  6340   - Due to the incompleteness of the HO unification algorithm, some
  6341     rules such as subst may require manual instantiation, if some of
  6342     the unknowns in the rule is a set.
  6343 
  6344   - Higher order unification and forward proofs:
  6345     The proof pattern
  6346 
  6347       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6348       then have "EX S. P S" ..
  6349 
  6350     no longer works (due to the incompleteness of the HO unification
  6351     algorithm) and must be replaced by the pattern
  6352 
  6353       have "EX S. P S"
  6354       proof
  6355         show "P S" <...>
  6356       qed
  6357 
  6358   - Calculational reasoning with subst (or similar rules):
  6359     The proof pattern
  6360 
  6361       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6362       also have "S = T" <...>
  6363       finally have "P T" .
  6364 
  6365     no longer works (for similar reasons as the previous example) and
  6366     must be replaced by something like
  6367 
  6368       have "P (S::'a set)" <...>
  6369       moreover have "S = T" <...>
  6370       ultimately have "P T" by simp
  6371 
  6372   - Tactics or packages written in ML code:
  6373     Code performing pattern matching on types via
  6374 
  6375       Type ("set", [T]) => ...
  6376 
  6377     must be rewritten. Moreover, functions like strip_type or
  6378     binder_types no longer return the right value when applied to a
  6379     type of the form
  6380 
  6381       T1 => ... => Tn => U => bool
  6382 
  6383     rather than
  6384 
  6385       T1 => ... => Tn => U set
  6386 
  6387 * Merged theories Wellfounded_Recursion, Accessible_Part and
  6388 Wellfounded_Relations to theory Wellfounded.
  6389 
  6390 * Explicit class "eq" for executable equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6391 
  6392 * Class finite no longer treats UNIV as class parameter.  Use class
  6393 enum from theory Library/Enum instead to achieve a similar effect.
  6394 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6395 
  6396 * Theory List: rule list_induct2 now has explicitly named cases "Nil"
  6397 and "Cons".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6398 
  6399 * HOL (and FOL): renamed variables in rules imp_elim and swap.
  6400 Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6401 
  6402 * Theory Product_Type: duplicated lemmas split_Pair_apply and
  6403 injective_fst_snd removed, use split_eta and prod_eqI instead.
  6404 Renamed upd_fst to apfst and upd_snd to apsnd.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6405 
  6406 * Theory Nat: removed redundant lemmas that merely duplicate lemmas of
  6407 the same name in theory Orderings:
  6408 
  6409   less_trans
  6410   less_linear
  6411   le_imp_less_or_eq
  6412   le_less_trans
  6413   less_le_trans
  6414   less_not_sym
  6415   less_asym
  6416 
  6417 Renamed less_imp_le to less_imp_le_nat, and less_irrefl to
  6418 less_irrefl_nat.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to more general types
  6419 and different variable names.
  6420 
  6421 * Library/Option_ord.thy: Canonical order on option type.
  6422 
  6423 * Library/RBT.thy: Red-black trees, an efficient implementation of
  6424 finite maps.
  6425 
  6426 * Library/Countable.thy: Type class for countable types.
  6427 
  6428 * Theory Int: The representation of numerals has changed.  The infix
  6429 operator BIT and the bit datatype with constructors B0 and B1 have
  6430 disappeared.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "Int.Bit0 x" and "Int.Bit1 y" in
  6431 place of "x BIT bit.B0" and "y BIT bit.B1", respectively.  Theorems
  6432 involving BIT, B0, or B1 have been renamed with "Bit0" or "Bit1"
  6433 accordingly.
  6434 
  6435 * Theory Nat: definition of <= and < on natural numbers no longer
  6436 depend on well-founded relations.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Definitions
  6437 le_def and less_def have disappeared.  Consider lemmas not_less
  6438 [symmetric, where ?'a = nat] and less_eq [symmetric] instead.
  6439 
  6440 * Theory Finite_Set: locales ACf, ACe, ACIf, ACIfSL and ACIfSLlin
  6441 (whose purpose mainly is for various fold_set functionals) have been
  6442 abandoned in favor of the existing algebraic classes
  6443 ab_semigroup_mult, comm_monoid_mult, ab_semigroup_idem_mult,
  6444 lower_semilattice (resp. upper_semilattice) and linorder.
  6445 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6446 
  6447 * Theory Transitive_Closure: induct and cases rules now declare proper
  6448 case_names ("base" and "step").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6449 
  6450 * Theorem Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct generalized to complete
  6451 lattices.  The form set-specific version is available as
  6452 Inductive.lfp_ordinal_induct_set.
  6453 
  6454 * Renamed theorems "power.simps" to "power_int.simps".
  6455 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6456 
  6457 * Class semiring_div provides basic abstract properties of semirings
  6458 with division and modulo operations.  Subsumes former class dvd_mod.
  6459 
  6460 * Merged theories IntDef, Numeral and IntArith into unified theory
  6461 Int.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6462 
  6463 * Theory Library/Code_Index: type "index" now represents natural
  6464 numbers rather than integers.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6465 
  6466 * New class "uminus" with operation "uminus" (split of from class
  6467 "minus" which now only has operation "minus", binary).
  6468 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6469 
  6470 * Constants "card", "internal_split", "option_map" now with authentic
  6471 syntax.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6472 
  6473 * Definitions subset_def, psubset_def, set_diff_def, Compl_def,
  6474 le_bool_def, less_bool_def, le_fun_def, less_fun_def, inf_bool_def,
  6475 sup_bool_def, Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, inf_fun_def, sup_fun_def,
  6476 Inf_fun_def, Sup_fun_def, inf_set_def, sup_set_def, Inf_set_def,
  6477 Sup_set_def, le_def, less_def, option_map_def now with object
  6478 equality.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6479 
  6480 * Records. Removed K_record, and replaced it by pure lambda term
  6481 %x. c. The simplifier setup is now more robust against eta expansion.
  6482 INCOMPATIBILITY: in cases explicitly referring to K_record.
  6483 
  6484 * Library/Multiset: {#a, b, c#} abbreviates {#a#} + {#b#} + {#c#}.
  6485 
  6486 * Library/ListVector: new theory of arithmetic vector operations.
  6487 
  6488 * Library/Order_Relation: new theory of various orderings as sets of
  6489 pairs.  Defines preorders, partial orders, linear orders and
  6490 well-orders on sets and on types.
  6491 
  6492 
  6493 *** ZF ***
  6494 
  6495 * Renamed some theories to allow to loading both ZF and HOL in the
  6496 same session:
  6497 
  6498   Datatype  -> Datatype_ZF
  6499   Inductive -> Inductive_ZF
  6500   Int       -> Int_ZF
  6501   IntDiv    -> IntDiv_ZF
  6502   Nat       -> Nat_ZF
  6503   List      -> List_ZF
  6504   Main      -> Main_ZF
  6505 
  6506 INCOMPATIBILITY: ZF theories that import individual theories below
  6507 Main might need to be adapted.  Regular theory Main is still
  6508 available, as trivial extension of Main_ZF.
  6509 
  6510 
  6511 *** ML ***
  6512 
  6513 * ML within Isar: antiquotation @{const name} or @{const
  6514 name(typargs)} produces statically-checked Const term.
  6515 
  6516 * Functor NamedThmsFun: data is available to the user as dynamic fact
  6517 (of the same name).  Removed obsolete print command.
  6518 
  6519 * Removed obsolete "use_legacy_bindings" function.
  6520 
  6521 * The ``print mode'' is now a thread-local value derived from a global
  6522 template (the former print_mode reference), thus access becomes
  6523 non-critical.  The global print_mode reference is for session
  6524 management only; user-code should use print_mode_value,
  6525 print_mode_active, PrintMode.setmp etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6526 
  6527 * Functions system/system_out provide a robust way to invoke external
  6528 shell commands, with propagation of interrupts (requires Poly/ML
  6529 5.2.1).  Do not use OS.Process.system etc. from the basis library!
  6530 
  6531 
  6532 *** System ***
  6533 
  6534 * Default settings: PROOFGENERAL_OPTIONS no longer impose xemacs ---
  6535 in accordance with Proof General 3.7, which prefers GNU emacs.
  6536 
  6537 * isatool tty runs Isabelle process with plain tty interaction;
  6538 optional line editor may be specified via ISABELLE_LINE_EDITOR
  6539 setting, the default settings attempt to locate "ledit" and "rlwrap".
  6540 
  6541 * isatool browser now works with Cygwin as well, using general
  6542 "javapath" function defined in Isabelle process environment.
  6543 
  6544 * YXML notation provides a simple and efficient alternative to
  6545 standard XML transfer syntax.  See src/Pure/General/yxml.ML and
  6546 isatool yxml as described in the Isabelle system manual.
  6547 
  6548 * JVM class isabelle.IsabelleProcess (located in Isabelle/lib/classes)
  6549 provides general wrapper for managing an Isabelle process in a robust
  6550 fashion, with ``cooked'' output from stdin/stderr.
  6551 
  6552 * Rudimentary Isabelle plugin for jEdit (see Isabelle/lib/jedit),
  6553 based on Isabelle/JVM process wrapper (see Isabelle/lib/classes).
  6554 
  6555 * Removed obsolete THIS_IS_ISABELLE_BUILD feature.  NB: the documented
  6556 way of changing the user's settings is via
  6557 ISABELLE_HOME_USER/etc/settings, which is a fully featured bash
  6558 script.
  6559 
  6560 * Multithreading.max_threads := 0 refers to the number of actual CPU
  6561 cores of the underlying machine, which is a good starting point for
  6562 optimal performance tuning.  The corresponding usedir option -M allows
  6563 "max" as an alias for "0".  WARNING: does not work on certain versions
  6564 of Mac OS (with Poly/ML 5.1).
  6565 
  6566 * isabelle-process: non-ML sessions are run with "nice", to reduce the
  6567 adverse effect of Isabelle flooding interactive front-ends (notably
  6568 ProofGeneral / XEmacs).
  6569 
  6570 
  6571 
  6572 New in Isabelle2007 (November 2007)
  6573 -----------------------------------
  6574 
  6575 *** General ***
  6576 
  6577 * More uniform information about legacy features, notably a
  6578 warning/error of "Legacy feature: ...", depending on the state of the
  6579 tolerate_legacy_features flag (default true). FUTURE INCOMPATIBILITY:
  6580 legacy features will disappear eventually.
  6581 
  6582 * Theory syntax: the header format ``theory A = B + C:'' has been
  6583 discontinued in favour of ``theory A imports B C begin''.  Use isatool
  6584 fixheaders to convert existing theory files.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6585 
  6586 * Theory syntax: the old non-Isar theory file format has been
  6587 discontinued altogether.  Note that ML proof scripts may still be used
  6588 with Isar theories; migration is usually quite simple with the ML
  6589 function use_legacy_bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6590 
  6591 * Theory syntax: some popular names (e.g. 'class', 'declaration',
  6592 'fun', 'help', 'if') are now keywords.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use double
  6593 quotes.
  6594 
  6595 * Theory loader: be more serious about observing the static theory
  6596 header specifications (including optional directories), but not the
  6597 accidental file locations of previously successful loads.  The strict
  6598 update policy of former update_thy is now already performed by
  6599 use_thy, so the former has been removed; use_thys updates several
  6600 theories simultaneously, just as 'imports' within a theory header
  6601 specification, but without merging the results.  Potential
  6602 INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to refine theory headers and commands
  6603 ROOT.ML which depend on load order.
  6604 
  6605 * Theory loader: optional support for content-based file
  6606 identification, instead of the traditional scheme of full physical
  6607 path plus date stamp; configured by the ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT setting
  6608 (cf. the system manual).  The new scheme allows to work with
  6609 non-finished theories in persistent session images, such that source
  6610 files may be moved later on without requiring reloads.
  6611 
  6612 * Theory loader: old-style ML proof scripts being *attached* to a thy
  6613 file (with the same base name as the theory) are considered a legacy
  6614 feature, which will disappear eventually. Even now, the theory loader
  6615 no longer maintains dependencies on such files.
  6616 
  6617 * Syntax: the scope for resolving ambiguities via type-inference is
  6618 now limited to individual terms, instead of whole simultaneous
  6619 specifications as before. This greatly reduces the complexity of the
  6620 syntax module and improves flexibility by separating parsing and
  6621 type-checking. INCOMPATIBILITY: additional type-constraints (explicit
  6622 'fixes' etc.) are required in rare situations.
  6623 
  6624 * Syntax: constants introduced by new-style packages ('definition',
  6625 'abbreviation' etc.) are passed through the syntax module in
  6626 ``authentic mode''. This means that associated mixfix annotations
  6627 really stick to such constants, independently of potential name space
  6628 ambiguities introduced later on. INCOMPATIBILITY: constants in parse
  6629 trees are represented slightly differently, may need to adapt syntax
  6630 translations accordingly. Use CONST marker in 'translations' and
  6631 @{const_syntax} antiquotation in 'parse_translation' etc.
  6632 
  6633 * Legacy goal package: reduced interface to the bare minimum required
  6634 to keep existing proof scripts running.  Most other user-level
  6635 functions are now part of the OldGoals structure, which is *not* open
  6636 by default (consider isatool expandshort before open OldGoals).
  6637 Removed top_sg, prin, printyp, pprint_term/typ altogether, because
  6638 these tend to cause confusion about the actual goal (!) context being
  6639 used here, which is not necessarily the same as the_context().
  6640 
  6641 * Command 'find_theorems': supports "*" wild-card in "name:"
  6642 criterion; "with_dups" option.  Certain ProofGeneral versions might
  6643 support a specific search form (see ProofGeneral/CHANGES).
  6644 
  6645 * The ``prems limit'' option (cf. ProofContext.prems_limit) is now -1
  6646 by default, which means that "prems" (and also "fixed variables") are
  6647 suppressed from proof state output.  Note that the ProofGeneral
  6648 settings mechanism allows to change and save options persistently, but
  6649 older versions of Isabelle will fail to start up if a negative prems
  6650 limit is imposed.
  6651 
  6652 * Local theory targets may be specified by non-nested blocks of
  6653 ``context/locale/class ... begin'' followed by ``end''.  The body may
  6654 contain definitions, theorems etc., including any derived mechanism
  6655 that has been implemented on top of these primitives.  This concept
  6656 generalizes the existing ``theorem (in ...)'' towards more versatility
  6657 and scalability.
  6658 
  6659 * Proof General interface: proper undo of final 'end' command;
  6660 discontinued Isabelle/classic mode (ML proof scripts).
  6661 
  6662 
  6663 *** Document preparation ***
  6664 
  6665 * Added antiquotation @{theory name} which prints the given name,
  6666 after checking that it refers to a valid ancestor theory in the
  6667 current context.
  6668 
  6669 * Added antiquotations @{ML_type text} and @{ML_struct text} which
  6670 check the given source text as ML type/structure, printing verbatim.
  6671 
  6672 * Added antiquotation @{abbrev "c args"} which prints the abbreviation
  6673 "c args == rhs" given in the current context.  (Any number of
  6674 arguments may be given on the LHS.)

  6678 
  6679 * The 'class' package offers a combination of axclass and locale to
  6680 achieve Haskell-like type classes in Isabelle.  Definitions and
  6681 theorems within a class context produce both relative results (with
  6682 implicit parameters according to the locale context), and polymorphic
  6683 constants with qualified polymorphism (according to the class
  6684 context).  Within the body context of a 'class' target, a separate
  6685 syntax layer ("user space type system") takes care of converting
  6686 between global polymorphic consts and internal locale representation.
  6687 See src/HOL/ex/Classpackage.thy for examples (as well as main HOL).
  6688 "isatool doc classes" provides a tutorial.
  6689 
  6690 * Generic code generator framework allows to generate executable
  6691 code for ML and Haskell (including Isabelle classes).  A short usage
  6692 sketch:
  6693 
  6694     internal compilation:
  6695         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML
  6696     writing SML code to a file:
  6697         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in SML <filename>
  6698     writing OCaml code to a file:
  6699         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in OCaml <filename>
  6700     writing Haskell code to a bunch of files:
  6701         export_code <list of constants (term syntax)> in Haskell <filename>
  6702 
  6703     evaluating closed propositions to True/False using code generation:
  6704         method ``eval''
  6705 
  6706 Reasonable default setup of framework in HOL.
  6707 
  6708 Theorem attributs for selecting and transforming function equations theorems:
  6709 
  6710     [code fun]:        select a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6711     [code fun del]:    deselect a theorem as function equation for a specific constant
  6712     [code inline]:     select an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6713     [code inline del]: deselect an equation theorem for unfolding (inlining) in place
  6714 
  6715 User-defined serializations (target in {SML, OCaml, Haskell}):
  6716 
  6717     code_const <and-list of constants (term syntax)>
  6718       {(target) <and-list of const target syntax>}+
  6719 
  6720     code_type <and-list of type constructors>
  6721       {(target) <and-list of type target syntax>}+
  6722 
  6723     code_instance <and-list of instances>
  6724       {(target)}+
  6725         where instance ::= <type constructor> :: <class>
  6726 
  6727     code_class <and_list of classes>
  6728       {(target) <and-list of class target syntax>}+
  6729         where class target syntax ::= <class name> {where {<classop> == <target syntax>}+}?
  6730 
  6731 code_instance and code_class only are effective to target Haskell.
  6732 
  6733 For example usage see src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator.thy and
  6734 src/HOL/ex/Codegenerator_Pretty.thy.  A separate tutorial on code
  6735 generation from Isabelle/HOL theories is available via "isatool doc
  6736 codegen".
  6737 
  6738 * Code generator: consts in 'consts_code' Isar commands are now
  6739 referred to by usual term syntax (including optional type
  6740 annotations).
  6741 
  6742 * Command 'no_translations' removes translation rules from theory
  6743 syntax.
  6744 
  6745 * Overloaded definitions are now actually checked for acyclic
  6746 dependencies.  The overloading scheme is slightly more general than
  6747 that of Haskell98, although Isabelle does not demand an exact
  6748 correspondence to type class and instance declarations.
  6749 INCOMPATIBILITY, use ``defs (unchecked overloaded)'' to admit more
  6750 exotic versions of overloading -- at the discretion of the user!
  6751 
  6752 Polymorphic constants are represented via type arguments, i.e. the
  6753 instantiation that matches an instance against the most general
  6754 declaration given in the signature.  For example, with the declaration
  6755 c :: 'a => 'a => 'a, an instance c :: nat => nat => nat is represented
  6756 as c(nat).  Overloading is essentially simultaneous structural
  6757 recursion over such type arguments.  Incomplete specification patterns
  6758 impose global constraints on all occurrences, e.g. c('a * 'a) on the
  6759 LHS means that more general c('a * 'b) will be disallowed on any RHS.
  6760 Command 'print_theory' outputs the normalized system of recursive
  6761 equations, see section "definitions".
  6762 
  6763 * Configuration options are maintained within the theory or proof
  6764 context (with name and type bool/int/string), providing a very simple
  6765 interface to a poor-man's version of general context data.  Tools may
  6766 declare options in ML (e.g. using Attrib.config_int) and then refer to
  6767 these values using Config.get etc.  Users may change options via an
  6768 associated attribute of the same name.  This form of context
  6769 declaration works particularly well with commands 'declare' or
  6770 'using', for example ``declare [[foo = 42]]''.  Thus it has become
  6771 very easy to avoid global references, which would not observe Isar
  6772 toplevel undo/redo and fail to work with multithreading.
  6773 
  6774 Various global ML references of Pure and HOL have been turned into
  6775 configuration options:
  6776 
  6777   Unify.search_bound		unify_search_bound
  6778   Unify.trace_bound		unify_trace_bound
  6779   Unify.trace_simp		unify_trace_simp
  6780   Unify.trace_types		unify_trace_types
  6781   Simplifier.simp_depth_limit	simp_depth_limit
  6782   Blast.depth_limit		blast_depth_limit
  6783   DatatypeProp.dtK		datatype_distinctness_limit
  6784   fast_arith_neq_limit  	fast_arith_neq_limit
  6785   fast_arith_split_limit	fast_arith_split_limit
  6786 
  6787 * Named collections of theorems may be easily installed as context
  6788 data using the functor NamedThmsFun (see also
  6789 src/Pure/Tools/named_thms.ML).  The user may add or delete facts via
  6790 attributes; there is also a toplevel print command.  This facility is
  6791 just a common case of general context data, which is the preferred way
  6792 for anything more complex than just a list of facts in canonical
  6793 order.
  6794 
  6795 * Isar: command 'declaration' augments a local theory by generic
  6796 declaration functions written in ML.  This enables arbitrary content
  6797 being added to the context, depending on a morphism that tells the
  6798 difference of the original declaration context wrt. the application
  6799 context encountered later on.
  6800 
  6801 * Isar: proper interfaces for simplification procedures.  Command
  6802 'simproc_setup' declares named simprocs (with match patterns, and body
  6803 text in ML).  Attribute "simproc" adds/deletes simprocs in the current
  6804 context.  ML antiquotation @{simproc name} retrieves named simprocs.
  6805 
  6806 * Isar: an extra pair of brackets around attribute declarations
  6807 abbreviates a theorem reference involving an internal dummy fact,
  6808 which will be ignored later --- only the effect of the attribute on
  6809 the background context will persist.  This form of in-place
  6810 declarations is particularly useful with commands like 'declare' and
  6811 'using', for example ``have A using [[simproc a]] by simp''.
  6812 
  6813 * Isar: method "assumption" (and implicit closing of subproofs) now
  6814 takes simple non-atomic goal assumptions into account: after applying
  6815 an assumption as a rule the resulting subgoals are solved by atomic
  6816 assumption steps.  This is particularly useful to finish 'obtain'
  6817 goals, such as "!!x. (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> P x ==> thesis",
  6818 without referring to the original premise "!!x. P x ==> thesis" in the
  6819 Isar proof context.  POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY: method "assumption" is
  6820 more permissive.
  6821 
  6822 * Isar: implicit use of prems from the Isar proof context is
  6823 considered a legacy feature.  Common applications like ``have A .''
  6824 may be replaced by ``have A by fact'' or ``note `A`''.  In general,
  6825 referencing facts explicitly here improves readability and
  6826 maintainability of proof texts.
  6827 
  6828 * Isar: improper proof element 'guess' is like 'obtain', but derives
  6829 the obtained context from the course of reasoning!  For example:
  6830 
  6831   assume "EX x y. A x & B y"   -- "any previous fact"
  6832   then guess x and y by clarify
  6833 
  6834 This technique is potentially adventurous, depending on the facts and
  6835 proof tools being involved here.
  6836 
  6837 * Isar: known facts from the proof context may be specified as literal
  6838 propositions, using ASCII back-quote syntax.  This works wherever
  6839 named facts used to be allowed so far, in proof commands, proof
  6840 methods, attributes etc.  Literal facts are retrieved from the context
  6841 according to unification of type and term parameters.  For example,
  6842 provided that "A" and "A ==> B" and "!!x. P x ==> Q x" are known
  6843 theorems in the current context, then these are valid literal facts:
  6844 `A` and `A ==> B` and `!!x. P x ==> Q x" as well as `P a ==> Q a` etc.
  6845 
  6846 There is also a proof method "fact" which does the same composition
  6847 for explicit goal states, e.g. the following proof texts coincide with
  6848 certain special cases of literal facts:
  6849 
  6850   have "A" by fact                 ==  note `A`
  6851   have "A ==> B" by fact           ==  note `A ==> B`
  6852   have "!!x. P x ==> Q x" by fact  ==  note `!!x. P x ==> Q x`
  6853   have "P a ==> Q a" by fact       ==  note `P a ==> Q a`
  6854 
  6855 * Isar: ":" (colon) is no longer a symbolic identifier character in
  6856 outer syntax.  Thus symbolic identifiers may be used without
  6857 additional white space in declarations like this: ``assume *: A''.
  6858 
  6859 * Isar: 'print_facts' prints all local facts of the current context,
  6860 both named and unnamed ones.
  6861 
  6862 * Isar: 'def' now admits simultaneous definitions, e.g.:
  6863 
  6864   def x == "t" and y == "u"
  6865 
  6866 * Isar: added command 'unfolding', which is structurally similar to
  6867 'using', but affects both the goal state and facts by unfolding given
  6868 rewrite rules.  Thus many occurrences of the 'unfold' method or
  6869 'unfolded' attribute may be replaced by first-class proof text.
  6870 
  6871 * Isar: methods 'unfold' / 'fold', attributes 'unfolded' / 'folded',
  6872 and command 'unfolding' now all support object-level equalities
  6873 (potentially conditional).  The underlying notion of rewrite rule is
  6874 analogous to the 'rule_format' attribute, but *not* that of the
  6875 Simplifier (which is usually more generous).
  6876 
  6877 * Isar: the new attribute [rotated n] (default n = 1) rotates the
  6878 premises of a theorem by n. Useful in conjunction with drule.
  6879 
  6880 * Isar: the goal restriction operator [N] (default N = 1) evaluates a
  6881 method expression within a sandbox consisting of the first N
  6882 sub-goals, which need to exist.  For example, ``simp_all [3]''
  6883 simplifies the first three sub-goals, while (rule foo, simp_all)[]
  6884 simplifies all new goals that emerge from applying rule foo to the
  6885 originally first one.
  6886 
  6887 * Isar: schematic goals are no longer restricted to higher-order
  6888 patterns; e.g. ``lemma "?P(?x)" by (rule TrueI)'' now works as
  6889 expected.
  6890 
  6891 * Isar: the conclusion of a long theorem statement is now either
  6892 'shows' (a simultaneous conjunction, as before), or 'obtains'
  6893 (essentially a disjunction of cases with local parameters and
  6894 assumptions).  The latter allows to express general elimination rules
  6895 adequately; in this notation common elimination rules look like this:
  6896 
  6897   lemma exE:    -- "EX x. P x ==> (!!x. P x ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6898     assumes "EX x. P x"
  6899     obtains x where "P x"
  6900 
  6901   lemma conjE:  -- "A & B ==> (A ==> B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6902     assumes "A & B"
  6903     obtains A and B
  6904 
  6905   lemma disjE:  -- "A | B ==> (A ==> thesis) ==> (B ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6906     assumes "A | B"
  6907     obtains
  6908       A
  6909     | B
  6910 
  6911 The subsequent classical rules even refer to the formal "thesis"
  6912 explicitly:
  6913 
  6914   lemma classical:     -- "(~ thesis ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6915     obtains "~ thesis"
  6916 
  6917   lemma Peirce's_Law:  -- "((thesis ==> something) ==> thesis) ==> thesis"
  6918     obtains "thesis ==> something"
  6919 
  6920 The actual proof of an 'obtains' statement is analogous to that of the
  6921 Isar proof element 'obtain', only that there may be several cases.
  6922 Optional case names may be specified in parentheses; these will be
  6923 available both in the present proof and as annotations in the
  6924 resulting rule, for later use with the 'cases' method (cf. attribute
  6925 case_names).
  6926 
  6927 * Isar: the assumptions of a long theorem statement are available as
  6928 "assms" fact in the proof context.  This is more appropriate than the
  6929 (historical) "prems", which refers to all assumptions of the current
  6930 context, including those from the target locale, proof body etc.
  6931 
  6932 * Isar: 'print_statement' prints theorems from the current theory or
  6933 proof context in long statement form, according to the syntax of a
  6934 top-level lemma.
  6935 
  6936 * Isar: 'obtain' takes an optional case name for the local context
  6937 introduction rule (default "that").
  6938 
  6939 * Isar: removed obsolete 'concl is' patterns.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use
  6940 explicit (is "_ ==> ?foo") in the rare cases where this still happens
  6941 to occur.
  6942 
  6943 * Pure: syntax "CONST name" produces a fully internalized constant
  6944 according to the current context.  This is particularly useful for
  6945 syntax translations that should refer to internal constant
  6946 representations independently of name spaces.
  6947 
  6948 * Pure: syntax constant for foo (binder "FOO ") is called "foo_binder"
  6949 instead of "FOO ". This allows multiple binder declarations to coexist
  6950 in the same context.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  6951 
  6952 * Isar/locales: 'notation' provides a robust interface to the 'syntax'
  6953 primitive that also works in a locale context (both for constants and
  6954 fixed variables). Type declaration and internal syntactic representation
  6955 of given constants retrieved from the context. Likewise, the
  6956 'no_notation' command allows to remove given syntax annotations from the
  6957 current context.
  6958 
  6959 * Isar/locales: new derived specification elements 'axiomatization',
  6960 'definition', 'abbreviation', which support type-inference, admit
  6961 object-level specifications (equality, equivalence).  See also the
  6962 isar-ref manual.  Examples:
  6963 
  6964   axiomatization
  6965     eq  (infix "===" 50) where
  6966     eq_refl: "x === x" and eq_subst: "x === y ==> P x ==> P y"
  6967 
  6968   definition "f x y = x + y + 1"
  6969   definition g where "g x = f x x"
  6970 
  6971   abbreviation
  6972     neq  (infix "=!=" 50) where
  6973     "x =!= y == ~ (x === y)"
  6974 
  6975 These specifications may be also used in a locale context.  Then the
  6976 constants being introduced depend on certain fixed parameters, and the
  6977 constant name is qualified by the locale base name.  An internal
  6978 abbreviation takes care for convenient input and output, making the
  6979 parameters implicit and using the original short name.  See also
  6980 src/HOL/ex/Abstract_NAT.thy for an example of deriving polymorphic
  6981 entities from a monomorphic theory.
  6982 
  6983 Presently, abbreviations are only available 'in' a target locale, but
  6984 not inherited by general import expressions.  Also note that
  6985 'abbreviation' may be used as a type-safe replacement for 'syntax' +
  6986 'translations' in common applications.  The "no_abbrevs" print mode
  6987 prevents folding of abbreviations in term output.
  6988 
  6989 Concrete syntax is attached to specified constants in internal form,
  6990 independently of name spaces.  The parse tree representation is
  6991 slightly different -- use 'notation' instead of raw 'syntax', and
  6992 'translations' with explicit "CONST" markup to accommodate this.
  6993 
  6994 * Pure/Isar: unified syntax for new-style specification mechanisms
  6995 (e.g.  'definition', 'abbreviation', or 'inductive' in HOL) admits
  6996 full type inference and dummy patterns ("_").  For example:
  6997 
  6998   definition "K x _ = x"
  6999 
  7000   inductive conj for A B
  7001   where "A ==> B ==> conj A B"
  7002 
  7003 * Pure: command 'print_abbrevs' prints all constant abbreviations of
  7004 the current context.  Print mode "no_abbrevs" prevents inversion of
  7005 abbreviations on output.
  7006 
  7007 * Isar/locales: improved parameter handling: use of locales "var" and
  7008 "struct" no longer necessary; - parameter renamings are no longer
  7009 required to be injective.  For example, this allows to define
  7010 endomorphisms as locale endom = homom mult mult h.
  7011 
  7012 * Isar/locales: changed the way locales with predicates are defined.
  7013 Instead of accumulating the specification, the imported expression is
  7014 now an interpretation.  INCOMPATIBILITY: different normal form of
  7015 locale expressions.  In particular, in interpretations of locales with
  7016 predicates, goals repesenting already interpreted fragments are not
  7017 removed automatically.  Use methods `intro_locales' and
  7018 `unfold_locales'; see below.
  7019 
  7020 * Isar/locales: new methods `intro_locales' and `unfold_locales'
  7021 provide backward reasoning on locales predicates.  The methods are
  7022 aware of interpretations and discharge corresponding goals.
  7023 `intro_locales' is less aggressive then `unfold_locales' and does not
  7024 unfold predicates to assumptions.
  7025 
  7026 * Isar/locales: the order in which locale fragments are accumulated
  7027 has changed.  This enables to override declarations from fragments due
  7028 to interpretations -- for example, unwanted simp rules.
  7029 
  7030 * Isar/locales: interpretation in theories and proof contexts has been
  7031 extended.  One may now specify (and prove) equations, which are
  7032 unfolded in interpreted theorems.  This is useful for replacing
  7033 defined concepts (constants depending on locale parameters) by
  7034 concepts already existing in the target context.  Example:
  7035 
  7036   interpretation partial_order ["op <= :: [int, int] => bool"]
  7037     where "partial_order.less (op <=) (x::int) y = (x < y)"
  7038 
  7039 Typically, the constant `partial_order.less' is created by a
  7040 definition specification element in the context of locale
  7041 partial_order.
  7042 
  7043 * Method "induct": improved internal context management to support
  7044 local fixes and defines on-the-fly. Thus explicit meta-level
  7045 connectives !!  and ==> are rarely required anymore in inductive goals
  7046 (using object-logic connectives for this purpose has been long
  7047 obsolete anyway). Common proof patterns are explained in
  7048 src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, see also
  7049 src/HOL/Isar_examples/Puzzle.thy and src/HOL/Lambda for realistic
  7050 examples.
  7051 
  7052 * Method "induct": improved handling of simultaneous goals. Instead of
  7053 introducing object-level conjunction, the statement is now split into
  7054 several conclusions, while the corresponding symbolic cases are nested
  7055 accordingly. INCOMPATIBILITY, proofs need to be structured explicitly,
  7056 see src/HOL/Induct/Common_Patterns.thy, for example.
  7057 
  7058 * Method "induct": mutual induction rules are now specified as a list
  7059 of rule sharing the same induction cases. HOL packages usually provide
  7060 foo_bar.inducts for mutually defined items foo and bar (e.g. inductive
  7061 predicates/sets or datatypes). INCOMPATIBILITY, users need to specify
  7062 mutual induction rules differently, i.e. like this:
  7063 
  7064   (induct rule: foo_bar.inducts)
  7065   (induct set: foo bar)
  7066   (induct pred: foo bar)
  7067   (induct type: foo bar)
  7068 
  7069 The ML function ProjectRule.projections turns old-style rules into the
  7070 new format.
  7071 
  7072 * Method "coinduct": dual of induction, see
  7073 src/HOL/Library/Coinductive_List.thy for various examples.
  7074 
  7075 * Method "cases", "induct", "coinduct": the ``(open)'' option is
  7076 considered a legacy feature.
  7077 
  7078 * Attribute "symmetric" produces result with standardized schematic
  7079 variables (index 0).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7080 
  7081 * Simplifier: by default the simplifier trace only shows top level
  7082 rewrites now. That is, trace_simp_depth_limit is set to 1 by
  7083 default. Thus there is less danger of being flooded by the trace. The
  7084 trace indicates where parts have been suppressed.
  7085 
  7086 * Provers/classical: removed obsolete classical version of elim_format
  7087 attribute; classical elim/dest rules are now treated uniformly when
  7088 manipulating the claset.
  7089 
  7090 * Provers/classical: stricter checks to ensure that supplied intro,
  7091 dest and elim rules are well-formed; dest and elim rules must have at
  7092 least one premise.
  7093 
  7094 * Provers/classical: attributes dest/elim/intro take an optional
  7095 weight argument for the rule (just as the Pure versions).  Weights are
  7096 ignored by automated tools, but determine the search order of single
  7097 rule steps.
  7098 
  7099 * Syntax: input syntax now supports dummy variable binding "%_. b",
  7100 where the body does not mention the bound variable.  Note that dummy
  7101 patterns implicitly depend on their context of bounds, which makes
  7102 "{_. _}" match any set comprehension as expected.  Potential
  7103 INCOMPATIBILITY -- parse translations need to cope with syntactic
  7104 constant "_idtdummy" in the binding position.
  7105 
  7106 * Syntax: removed obsolete syntactic constant "_K" and its associated
  7107 parse translation.  INCOMPATIBILITY -- use dummy abstraction instead,
  7108 for example "A -> B" => "Pi A (%_. B)".
  7109 
  7110 * Pure: 'class_deps' command visualizes the subclass relation, using
  7111 the graph browser tool.
  7112 
  7113 * Pure: 'print_theory' now suppresses certain internal declarations by
  7114 default; use '!' option for full details.
  7115 
  7116 
  7117 *** HOL ***
  7118 
  7119 * Method "metis" proves goals by applying the Metis general-purpose
  7120 resolution prover (see also http://gilith.com/software/metis/).
  7121 Examples are in the directory MetisExamples.  WARNING: the
  7122 Isabelle/HOL-Metis integration does not yet work properly with
  7123 multi-threading.
  7124 
  7125 * Command 'sledgehammer' invokes external automatic theorem provers as
  7126 background processes.  It generates calls to the "metis" method if
  7127 successful. These can be pasted into the proof.  Users do not have to
  7128 wait for the automatic provers to return.  WARNING: does not really
  7129 work with multi-threading.
  7130 
  7131 * New "auto_quickcheck" feature tests outermost goal statements for
  7132 potential counter-examples.  Controlled by ML references
  7133 auto_quickcheck (default true) and auto_quickcheck_time_limit (default
  7134 5000 milliseconds).  Fails silently if statements is outside of
  7135 executable fragment, or any other codgenerator problem occurs.
  7136 
  7137 * New constant "undefined" with axiom "undefined x = undefined".
  7138 
  7139 * Added class "HOL.eq", allowing for code generation with polymorphic
  7140 equality.
  7141 
  7142 * Some renaming of class constants due to canonical name prefixing in
  7143 the new 'class' package:
  7144 
  7145     HOL.abs ~> HOL.abs_class.abs
  7146     HOL.divide ~> HOL.divide_class.divide
  7147     0 ~> HOL.zero_class.zero
  7148     1 ~> HOL.one_class.one
  7149     op + ~> HOL.plus_class.plus
  7150     op - ~> HOL.minus_class.minus
  7151     uminus ~> HOL.minus_class.uminus
  7152     op * ~> HOL.times_class.times
  7153     op < ~> HOL.ord_class.less
  7154     op <= > HOL.ord_class.less_eq
  7155     Nat.power ~> Power.power_class.power
  7156     Nat.size ~> Nat.size_class.size
  7157     Numeral.number_of ~> Numeral.number_class.number_of
  7158     FixedPoint.Inf ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Inf
  7159     FixedPoint.Sup ~> Lattices.complete_lattice_class.Sup
  7160     Orderings.min ~> Orderings.ord_class.min
  7161     Orderings.max ~> Orderings.ord_class.max
  7162     Divides.op div ~> Divides.div_class.div
  7163     Divides.op mod ~> Divides.div_class.mod
  7164     Divides.op dvd ~> Divides.div_class.dvd
  7165 
  7166 INCOMPATIBILITY.  Adaptions may be required in the following cases:
  7167 
  7168 a) User-defined constants using any of the names "plus", "minus",
  7169 "times", "less" or "less_eq". The standard syntax translations for
  7170 "+", "-" and "*" may go wrong.  INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific
  7171 names.
  7172 
  7173 b) Variables named "plus", "minus", "times", "less", "less_eq"
  7174 INCOMPATIBILITY: use more specific names.
  7175 
  7176 c) Permutative equations (e.g. "a + b = b + a")
  7177 Since the change of names also changes the order of terms, permutative
  7178 rewrite rules may get applied in a different order. Experience shows
  7179 that this is rarely the case (only two adaptions in the whole Isabelle
  7180 distribution).  INCOMPATIBILITY: rewrite proofs
  7181 
  7182 d) ML code directly refering to constant names
  7183 This in general only affects hand-written proof tactics, simprocs and
  7184 so on.  INCOMPATIBILITY: grep your sourcecode and replace names.
  7185 Consider using @{const_name} antiquotation.
  7186 
  7187 * New class "default" with associated constant "default".
  7188 
  7189 * Function "sgn" is now overloaded and available on int, real, complex
  7190 (and other numeric types), using class "sgn".  Two possible defs of
  7191 sgn are given as equational assumptions in the classes sgn_if and
  7192 sgn_div_norm; ordered_idom now also inherits from sgn_if.
  7193 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7194 
  7195 * Locale "partial_order" now unified with class "order" (cf. theory
  7196 Orderings), added parameter "less".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7197 
  7198 * Renamings in classes "order" and "linorder": facts "refl", "trans" and
  7199 "cases" to "order_refl", "order_trans" and "linorder_cases", to avoid
  7200 clashes with HOL "refl" and "trans".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7201 
  7202 * Classes "order" and "linorder": potential INCOMPATIBILITY due to
  7203 changed order of proof goals in instance proofs.
  7204 
  7205 * The transitivity reasoner for partial and linear orders is set up
  7206 for classes "order" and "linorder".  Instances of the reasoner are available
  7207 in all contexts importing or interpreting the corresponding locales.
  7208 Method "order" invokes the reasoner separately; the reasoner
  7209 is also integrated with the Simplifier as a solver.  Diagnostic
  7210 command 'print_orders' shows the available instances of the reasoner
  7211 in the current context.
  7212 
  7213 * Localized monotonicity predicate in theory "Orderings"; integrated
  7214 lemmas max_of_mono and min_of_mono with this predicate.
  7215 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7216 
  7217 * Formulation of theorem "dense" changed slightly due to integration
  7218 with new class dense_linear_order.
  7219 
  7220 * Uniform lattice theory development in HOL.
  7221 
  7222     constants "meet" and "join" now named "inf" and "sup"
  7223     constant "Meet" now named "Inf"
  7224 
  7225     classes "meet_semilorder" and "join_semilorder" now named
  7226       "lower_semilattice" and "upper_semilattice"
  7227     class "lorder" now named "lattice"
  7228     class "comp_lat" now named "complete_lattice"
  7229 
  7230     Instantiation of lattice classes allows explicit definitions
  7231     for "inf" and "sup" operations (or "Inf" and "Sup" for complete lattices).
  7232

  7335 
  7336 * Added syntactic class "size"; overloaded constant "size" now has
  7337 type "'a::size ==> bool"
  7338 
  7339 * Internal reorganisation of `size' of datatypes: size theorems
  7340 "foo.size" are no longer subsumed by "foo.simps" (but are still
  7341 simplification rules by default!); theorems "prod.size" now named
  7342 "*.size".
  7343 
  7344 * Class "div" now inherits from class "times" rather than "type".
  7345 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7346 
  7347 * HOL/Finite_Set: "name-space" locales Lattice, Distrib_lattice,
  7348 Linorder etc.  have disappeared; operations defined in terms of
  7349 fold_set now are named Inf_fin, Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7350 
  7351 * HOL/Nat: neq0_conv no longer declared as iff.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7352 
  7353 * HOL-Word: New extensive library and type for generic, fixed size
  7354 machine words, with arithmetic, bit-wise, shifting and rotating
  7355 operations, reflection into int, nat, and bool lists, automation for
  7356 linear arithmetic (by automatic reflection into nat or int), including
  7357 lemmas on overflow and monotonicity.  Instantiated to all appropriate
  7358 arithmetic type classes, supporting automatic simplification of
  7359 numerals on all operations.
  7360 
  7361 * Library/Boolean_Algebra: locales for abstract boolean algebras.
  7362 
  7363 * Library/Numeral_Type: numbers as types, e.g. TYPE(32).
  7364 
  7365 * Code generator library theories:
  7366   - Code_Integer represents HOL integers by big integer literals in target
  7367     languages.
  7368   - Code_Char represents HOL characters by character literals in target
  7369     languages.
  7370   - Code_Char_chr like Code_Char, but also offers treatment of character
  7371     codes; includes Code_Integer.
  7372   - Executable_Set allows to generate code for finite sets using lists.
  7373   - Executable_Rat implements rational numbers as triples (sign, enumerator,
  7374     denominator).
  7375   - Executable_Real implements a subset of real numbers, namly those
  7376     representable by rational numbers.
  7377   - Efficient_Nat implements natural numbers by integers, which in general will
  7378     result in higher efficency; pattern matching with 0/Suc is eliminated;
  7379     includes Code_Integer.
  7380   - Code_Index provides an additional datatype index which is mapped to
  7381     target-language built-in integers.
  7382   - Code_Message provides an additional datatype message_string which is isomorphic to
  7383     strings; messages are mapped to target-language strings.
  7384 
  7385 * New package for inductive predicates
  7386 
  7387   An n-ary predicate p with m parameters z_1, ..., z_m can now be defined via
  7388 
  7389     inductive
  7390       p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7391       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7392     where
  7393       rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7394     | ...
  7395 
  7396   with full support for type-inference, rather than
  7397 
  7398     consts s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7399 
  7400     abbreviation p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7401     where "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7402 
  7403     inductive "s z_1 ... z_m"
  7404     intros
  7405       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7406       ...
  7407 
  7408   For backward compatibility, there is a wrapper allowing inductive
  7409   sets to be defined with the new package via
  7410 
  7411     inductive_set
  7412       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7413       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7414     where
  7415       rule_1: "... ==> (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7416     | ...
  7417 
  7418   or
  7419 
  7420     inductive_set
  7421       s :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => (T_1 * ... * T_n) set"
  7422       and p :: "U_1 => ... => U_m => T_1 => ... => T_n => bool"
  7423       for z_1 :: U_1 and ... and z_n :: U_m
  7424     where
  7425       "p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n == (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m"
  7426     | rule_1: "... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_1_1 ... t_1_n"
  7427     | ...
  7428 
  7429   if the additional syntax "p ..." is required.
  7430 
  7431   Numerous examples can be found in the subdirectories src/HOL/Auth,
  7432   src/HOL/Bali, src/HOL/Induct, and src/HOL/MicroJava.
  7433 
  7434   INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  7435 
  7436   - Since declaration and definition of inductive sets or predicates
  7437     is no longer separated, abbreviations involving the newly
  7438     introduced sets or predicates must be specified together with the
  7439     introduction rules after the 'where' keyword (see above), rather
  7440     than before the actual inductive definition.
  7441 
  7442   - The variables in induction and elimination rules are now
  7443     quantified in the order of their occurrence in the introduction
  7444     rules, rather than in alphabetical order. Since this may break
  7445     some proofs, these proofs either have to be repaired, e.g. by
  7446     reordering the variables a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i} in Isar 'case'
  7447     statements of the form
  7448 
  7449       case (rule_i a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i})
  7450 
  7451     or the old order of quantification has to be restored by explicitly adding
  7452     meta-level quantifiers in the introduction rules, i.e.
  7453 
  7454       | rule_i: "!!a_i_1 ... a_i_{k_i}. ... ==> p z_1 ... z_m t_i_1 ... t_i_n"
  7455 
  7456   - The format of the elimination rules is now
  7457 
  7458       p z_1 ... z_m x_1 ... x_n ==>
  7459         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7460         ==> ... ==> P
  7461 
  7462     for predicates and
  7463 
  7464       (x_1, ..., x_n) : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7465         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x_1 = t_1_1 ==> ... ==> x_n = t_1_n ==> ... ==> P)
  7466         ==> ... ==> P
  7467 
  7468     for sets rather than
  7469 
  7470       x : s z_1 ... z_m ==>
  7471         (!!a_1_1 ... a_1_{k_1}. x = (t_1_1, ..., t_1_n) ==> ... ==> P)
  7472         ==> ... ==> P
  7473 
  7474     This may require terms in goals to be expanded to n-tuples
  7475     (e.g. using case_tac or simplification with the split_paired_all
  7476     rule) before the above elimination rule is applicable.
  7477 
  7478   - The elimination or case analysis rules for (mutually) inductive
  7479     sets or predicates are now called "p_1.cases" ... "p_k.cases". The
  7480     list of rules "p_1_..._p_k.elims" is no longer available.
  7481 
  7482 * New package "function"/"fun" for general recursive functions,
  7483 supporting mutual and nested recursion, definitions in local contexts,
  7484 more general pattern matching and partiality. See HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy
  7485 for small examples, and the separate tutorial on the function
  7486 package. The old recdef "package" is still available as before, but
  7487 users are encouraged to use the new package.
  7488 
  7489 * Method "lexicographic_order" automatically synthesizes termination
  7490 relations as lexicographic combinations of size measures.
  7491 
  7492 * Case-expressions allow arbitrary constructor-patterns (including
  7493 "_") and take their order into account, like in functional
  7494 programming.  Internally, this is translated into nested
  7495 case-expressions; missing cases are added and mapped to the predefined
  7496 constant "undefined". In complicated cases printing may no longer show
  7497 the original input but the internal form. Lambda-abstractions allow
  7498 the same form of pattern matching: "% pat1 => e1 | ..." is an
  7499 abbreviation for "%x. case x of pat1 => e1 | ..." where x is a new
  7500 variable.
  7501 
  7502 * IntDef: The constant "int :: nat => int" has been removed; now "int"
  7503 is an abbreviation for "of_nat :: nat => int". The simplification
  7504 rules for "of_nat" have been changed to work like "int" did
  7505 previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  7506   - "of_nat (Suc m)" simplifies to "1 + of_nat m" instead of "of_nat m + 1"
  7507   - of_nat_diff and of_nat_mult are no longer default simp rules
  7508 
  7509 * Method "algebra" solves polynomial equations over (semi)rings using
  7510 Groebner bases. The (semi)ring structure is defined by locales and the
  7511 tool setup depends on that generic context. Installing the method for
  7512 a specific type involves instantiating the locale and possibly adding
  7513 declarations for computation on the coefficients.  The method is
  7514 already instantiated for natural numbers and for the axiomatic class
  7515 of idoms with numerals.  See also the paper by Chaieb and Wenzel at
  7516 CALCULEMUS 2007 for the general principles underlying this
  7517 architecture of context-aware proof-tools.
  7518 
  7519 * Method "ferrack" implements quantifier elimination over
  7520 special-purpose dense linear orders using locales (analogous to
  7521 "algebra"). The method is already installed for class
  7522 {ordered_field,recpower,number_ring} which subsumes real, hyperreal,
  7523 rat, etc.
  7524 
  7525 * Former constant "List.op @" now named "List.append".  Use ML
  7526 antiquotations @{const_name List.append} or @{term " ... @ ... "} to
  7527 circumvent possible incompatibilities when working on ML level.
  7528 
  7529 * primrec: missing cases mapped to "undefined" instead of "arbitrary".
  7530 
  7531 * New function listsum :: 'a list => 'a for arbitrary monoids.
  7532 Special syntax: "SUM x <- xs. f x" (and latex variants)
  7533 
  7534 * New syntax for Haskell-like list comprehension (input only), eg.
  7535 [(x,y). x <- xs, y <- ys, x ~= y], see also src/HOL/List.thy.
  7536 
  7537 * The special syntax for function "filter" has changed from [x :
  7538 xs. P] to [x <- xs. P] to avoid an ambiguity caused by list
  7539 comprehension syntax, and for uniformity.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7540 
  7541 * [a..b] is now defined for arbitrary linear orders.  It used to be
  7542 defined on nat only, as an abbreviation for [a..<Suc b]
  7543 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7544 
  7545 * Renamed lemma "set_take_whileD"  to "set_takeWhileD".
  7546 
  7547 * New functions "sorted" and "sort" in src/HOL/List.thy.
  7548 
  7549 * New lemma collection field_simps (an extension of ring_simps) for
  7550 manipulating (in)equations involving division. Multiplies with all
  7551 denominators that can be proved to be non-zero (in equations) or
  7552 positive/negative (in inequations).
  7553 
  7554 * Lemma collections ring_eq_simps, group_eq_simps and ring_distrib
  7555 have been improved and renamed to ring_simps, group_simps and
  7556 ring_distribs.  Removed lemmas field_xyz in theory Ring_and_Field
  7557 because they were subsumed by lemmas xyz.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7558 
  7559 * Theory Library/Commutative_Ring: switched from recdef to function
  7560 package; constants add, mul, pow now curried.  Infix syntax for
  7561 algebraic operations.
  7562 
  7563 * Dropped redundant lemma def_imp_eq in favor of meta_eq_to_obj_eq.
  7564 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7565 
  7566 * Dropped redundant lemma if_def2 in favor of if_bool_eq_conj.
  7567 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7568 
  7569 * HOL/records: generalised field-update to take a function on the
  7570 field rather than the new value: r(|A := x|) is translated to A_update
  7571 (K x) r The K-combinator that is internally used is called K_record.
  7572 INCOMPATIBILITY: Usage of the plain update functions has to be
  7573 adapted.
  7574 
  7575 * Class "semiring_0" now contains annihilation axioms x * 0 = 0 and 0
  7576 * x = 0, which are required for a semiring.  Richer structures do not
  7577 inherit from semiring_0 anymore, because this property is a theorem
  7578 there, not an axiom.  INCOMPATIBILITY: In instances of semiring_0,
  7579 there is more to prove, but this is mostly trivial.
  7580 
  7581 * Class "recpower" is generalized to arbitrary monoids, not just
  7582 commutative semirings.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may need to incorporate
  7583 commutativity or semiring properties additionally.
  7584 
  7585 * Constant "List.list_all2" in List.thy now uses authentic syntax.
  7586 INCOMPATIBILITY: translations containing list_all2 may go wrong,
  7587 better use 'abbreviation'.
  7588 
  7589 * Renamed constant "List.op mem" to "List.member".  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7590 
  7591 * Numeral syntax: type 'bin' which was a mere type copy of 'int' has
  7592 been abandoned in favour of plain 'int'.  INCOMPATIBILITY --
  7593 significant changes for setting up numeral syntax for types:
  7594   - New constants Numeral.pred and Numeral.succ instead
  7595       of former Numeral.bin_pred and Numeral.bin_succ.
  7596   - Use integer operations instead of bin_add, bin_mult and so on.
  7597   - Numeral simplification theorems named Numeral.numeral_simps instead of Bin_simps.
  7598   - ML structure Bin_Simprocs now named Int_Numeral_Base_Simprocs.
  7599 
  7600 See src/HOL/Integ/IntArith.thy for an example setup.
  7601 
  7602 * Command 'normal_form' computes the normal form of a term that may
  7603 contain free variables.  For example ``normal_form "rev [a, b, c]"''
  7604 produces ``[b, c, a]'' (without proof).  This command is suitable for
  7605 heavy-duty computations because the functions are compiled to ML
  7606 first.  Correspondingly, a method "normalization" is provided.  See
  7607 further src/HOL/ex/NormalForm.thy and src/Tools/nbe.ML.
  7608 
  7609 * Alternative iff syntax "A <-> B" for equality on bool (with priority
  7610 25 like -->); output depends on the "iff" print_mode, the default is
  7611 "A = B" (with priority 50).
  7612 
  7613 * Relations less (<) and less_eq (<=) are also available on type bool.
  7614 Modified syntax to disallow nesting without explicit parentheses,
  7615 e.g. "(x < y) < z" or "x < (y < z)", but NOT "x < y < z".  Potential
  7616 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7617 
  7618 * "LEAST x:A. P" expands to "LEAST x. x:A & P" (input only).
  7619 
  7620 * Relation composition operator "op O" now has precedence 75 and binds
  7621 stronger than union and intersection. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7622 
  7623 * The old set interval syntax "{m..n(}" (and relatives) has been
  7624 removed.  Use "{m..<n}" (and relatives) instead.
  7625 
  7626 * In the context of the assumption "~(s = t)" the Simplifier rewrites
  7627 "t = s" to False (by simproc "neq").  INCOMPATIBILITY, consider using
  7628 ``declare [[simproc del: neq]]''.
  7629 
  7630 * Simplifier: "m dvd n" where m and n are numbers is evaluated to
  7631 True/False.
  7632 
  7633 * Theorem Cons_eq_map_conv no longer declared as "simp".
  7634 
  7635 * Theorem setsum_mult renamed to setsum_right_distrib.
  7636 
  7637 * Prefer ex1I over ex_ex1I in single-step reasoning, e.g. by the
  7638 ``rule'' method.
  7639 
  7640 * Reimplemented methods "sat" and "satx", with several improvements:
  7641 goals no longer need to be stated as "<prems> ==> False", equivalences
  7642 (i.e. "=" on type bool) are handled, variable names of the form
  7643 "lit_<n>" are no longer reserved, significant speedup.
  7644 
  7645 * Methods "sat" and "satx" can now replay MiniSat proof traces.
  7646 zChaff is still supported as well.
  7647 
  7648 * 'inductive' and 'datatype': provide projections of mutual rules,
  7649 bundled as foo_bar.inducts;
  7650 
  7651 * Library: moved theories Parity, GCD, Binomial, Infinite_Set to
  7652 Library.
  7653 
  7654 * Library: moved theory Accessible_Part to main HOL.
  7655 
  7656 * Library: added theory Coinductive_List of potentially infinite lists
  7657 as greatest fixed-point.
  7658 
  7659 * Library: added theory AssocList which implements (finite) maps as
  7660 association lists.
  7661 
  7662 * Method "evaluation" solves goals (i.e. a boolean expression)
  7663 efficiently by compiling it to ML.  The goal is "proved" (via an
  7664 oracle) if it evaluates to True.
  7665 
  7666 * Linear arithmetic now splits certain operators (e.g. min, max, abs)
  7667 also when invoked by the simplifier.  This results in the Simplifier
  7668 being more powerful on arithmetic goals.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7669 Configuration option fast_arith_split_limit=0 recovers the old
  7670 behavior.
  7671 
  7672 * Support for hex (0x20) and binary (0b1001) numerals.
  7673 
  7674 * New method: reify eqs (t), where eqs are equations for an
  7675 interpretation I :: 'a list => 'b => 'c and t::'c is an optional
  7676 parameter, computes a term s::'b and a list xs::'a list and proves the
  7677 theorem I xs s = t. This is also known as reification or quoting. The
  7678 resulting theorem is applied to the subgoal to substitute t with I xs
  7679 s.  If t is omitted, the subgoal itself is reified.
  7680 
  7681 * New method: reflection corr_thm eqs (t). The parameters eqs and (t)
  7682 are as explained above. corr_thm is a theorem for I vs (f t) = I vs t,
  7683 where f is supposed to be a computable function (in the sense of code
  7684 generattion). The method uses reify to compute s and xs as above then
  7685 applies corr_thm and uses normalization by evaluation to "prove" f s =
  7686 r and finally gets the theorem t = r, which is again applied to the
  7687 subgoal. An Example is available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy.
  7688 
  7689 * Reflection: Automatic reification now handels binding, an example is
  7690 available in src/HOL/ex/ReflectionEx.thy
  7691 
  7692 * HOL-Statespace: ``State Spaces: The Locale Way'' introduces a
  7693 command 'statespace' that is similar to 'record', but introduces an
  7694 abstract specification based on the locale infrastructure instead of
  7695 HOL types.  This leads to extra flexibility in composing state spaces,
  7696 in particular multiple inheritance and renaming of components.
  7697 
  7698 
  7699 *** HOL-Complex ***
  7700 
  7701 * Hyperreal: Functions root and sqrt are now defined on negative real
  7702 inputs so that root n (- x) = - root n x and sqrt (- x) = - sqrt x.
  7703 Nonnegativity side conditions have been removed from many lemmas, so
  7704 that more subgoals may now be solved by simplification; potential
  7705 INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7706 
  7707 * Real: new type classes formalize real normed vector spaces and
  7708 algebras, using new overloaded constants scaleR :: real => 'a => 'a
  7709 and norm :: 'a => real.
  7710 
  7711 * Real: constant of_real :: real => 'a::real_algebra_1 injects from
  7712 reals into other types. The overloaded constant Reals :: 'a set is now
  7713 defined as range of_real; potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
  7714 
  7715 * Real: proper support for ML code generation, including 'quickcheck'.
  7716 Reals are implemented as arbitrary precision rationals.
  7717 
  7718 * Hyperreal: Several constants that previously worked only for the
  7719 reals have been generalized, so they now work over arbitrary vector
  7720 spaces. Type annotations may need to be added in some cases; potential
  7721 INCOMPATIBILITY.

  7737   exp            :: 'a::{recpower,real_normed_field,banach} => 'a
  7738 
  7739 * Complex: Some complex-specific constants are now abbreviations for
  7740 overloaded ones: complex_of_real = of_real, cmod = norm, hcmod =
  7741 hnorm.  Other constants have been entirely removed in favor of the
  7742 polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

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

  8308 *** Provers ***
  8309 
  8310 * Provers/hypsubst.ML: improved version of the subst method, for
  8311 single-step rewriting: it now works in bound variable contexts. New is
  8312 'subst (asm)', for rewriting an assumption.  INCOMPATIBILITY: may
  8313 rewrite a different subterm than the original subst method, which is
  8314 still available as 'simplesubst'.
  8315 
  8316 * Provers/quasi.ML: new transitivity reasoners for transitivity only
  8317 and quasi orders.
  8318 
  8319 * Provers/trancl.ML: new transitivity reasoner for transitive and
  8320 reflexive-transitive closure of relations.
  8321 
  8322 * Provers/blast.ML: new reference depth_limit to make blast's depth
  8323 limit (previously hard-coded with a value of 20) user-definable.
  8324 
  8325 * Provers/simplifier.ML has been moved to Pure, where Simplifier.setup
  8326 is peformed already.  Object-logics merely need to finish their
  8327 initial simpset configuration as before.  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8328 
  8329 
  8330 *** HOL ***
  8331 
  8332 * Symbolic syntax of Hilbert Choice Operator is now as follows:
  8333 
  8334   syntax (epsilon)
  8335     "_Eps" :: "[pttrn, bool] => 'a"    ("(3\<some>_./ _)" [0, 10] 10)
  8336 
  8337 The symbol \<some> is displayed as the alternative epsilon of LaTeX
  8338 and x-symbol; use option '-m epsilon' to get it actually printed.
  8339 Moreover, the mathematically important symbolic identifier \<epsilon>
  8340 becomes available as variable, constant etc.  INCOMPATIBILITY,
  8341 
  8342 * "x > y" abbreviates "y < x" and "x >= y" abbreviates "y <= x".
  8343 Similarly for all quantifiers: "ALL x > y" etc.  The x-symbol for >=
  8344 is \<ge>. New transitivity rules have been added to HOL/Orderings.thy to
  8345 support corresponding Isar calculations.
  8346 
  8347 * "{x:A. P}" abbreviates "{x. x:A & P}", and similarly for "\<in>"
  8348 instead of ":".
  8349 
  8350 * theory SetInterval: changed the syntax for open intervals:
  8351 
  8352   Old       New
  8353   {..n(}    {..<n}
  8354   {)n..}    {n<..}
  8355   {m..n(}   {m..<n}
  8356   {)m..n}   {m<..n}
  8357   {)m..n(}  {m<..<n}
  8358 
  8359 The old syntax is still supported but will disappear in the next
  8360 release.  For conversion use the following Emacs search and replace
  8361 patterns (these are not perfect but work quite well):
  8362 
  8363   {)\([^\.]*\)\.\.  ->  {\1<\.\.}
  8364   \.\.\([^(}]*\)(}  ->  \.\.<\1}
  8365 
  8366 * Theory Commutative_Ring (in Library): method comm_ring for proving
  8367 equalities in commutative rings; method 'algebra' provides a generic
  8368 interface.
  8369 
  8370 * Theory Finite_Set: changed the syntax for 'setsum', summation over
  8371 finite sets: "setsum (%x. e) A", which used to be "\<Sum>x:A. e", is
  8372 now either "SUM x:A. e" or "\<Sum>x \<in> A. e". The bound variable can
  8373 be a tuple pattern.
  8374 
  8375 Some new syntax forms are available:
  8376 
  8377   "\<Sum>x | P. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {x. P}"
  8378   "\<Sum>x = a..b. e"   for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..b}"
  8379   "\<Sum>x = a..<b. e"  for     "setsum (%x. e) {a..<b}"
  8380   "\<Sum>x < k. e"      for     "setsum (%x. e) {..<k}"
  8381 
  8382 The latter form "\<Sum>x < k. e" used to be based on a separate
  8383 function "Summation", which has been discontinued.
  8384 
  8385 * theory Finite_Set: in structured induction proofs, the insert case
  8386 is now 'case (insert x F)' instead of the old counterintuitive 'case
  8387 (insert F x)'.
  8388 
  8389 * The 'refute' command has been extended to support a much larger
  8390 fragment of HOL, including axiomatic type classes, constdefs and
  8391 typedefs, inductive datatypes and recursion.
  8392 
  8393 * New tactics 'sat' and 'satx' to prove propositional tautologies.
  8394 Requires zChaff with proof generation to be installed.  See
  8395 HOL/ex/SAT_Examples.thy for examples.
  8396 
  8397 * Datatype induction via method 'induct' now preserves the name of the
  8398 induction variable. For example, when proving P(xs::'a list) by
  8399 induction on xs, the induction step is now P(xs) ==> P(a#xs) rather
  8400 than P(list) ==> P(a#list) as previously.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  8401 in unstructured proof scripts.
  8402 
  8403 * Reworked implementation of records.  Improved scalability for
  8404 records with many fields, avoiding performance problems for type
  8405 inference. Records are no longer composed of nested field types, but
  8406 of nested extension types. Therefore the record type only grows linear
  8407 in the number of extensions and not in the number of fields.  The
  8408 top-level (users) view on records is preserved.  Potential
  8409 INCOMPATIBILITY only in strange cases, where the theory depends on the
  8410 old record representation. The type generated for a record is called
  8411 <record_name>_ext_type.
  8412 
  8413 Flag record_quick_and_dirty_sensitive can be enabled to skip the
  8414 proofs triggered by a record definition or a simproc (if
  8415 quick_and_dirty is enabled).  Definitions of large records can take
  8416 quite long.
  8417 
  8418 New simproc record_upd_simproc for simplification of multiple record
  8419 updates enabled by default.  Moreover, trivial updates are also
  8420 removed: r(|x := x r|) = r.  INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break
  8421 occasionally, since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8422 
  8423 * typedef: proper support for polymorphic sets, which contain extra
  8424 type-variables in the term.
  8425 
  8426 * Simplifier: automatically reasons about transitivity chains
  8427 involving "trancl" (r^+) and "rtrancl" (r^*) by setting up tactics
  8428 provided by Provers/trancl.ML as additional solvers.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
  8429 old proofs break occasionally as simplification may now solve more
  8430 goals than previously.
  8431 
  8432 * Simplifier: converts x <= y into x = y if assumption y <= x is
  8433 present.  Works for all partial orders (class "order"), in particular
  8434 numbers and sets.  For linear orders (e.g. numbers) it treats ~ x < y
  8435 just like y <= x.
  8436 
  8437 * Simplifier: new simproc for "let x = a in f x".  If a is a free or
  8438 bound variable or a constant then the let is unfolded.  Otherwise
  8439 first a is simplified to b, and then f b is simplified to g. If
  8440 possible we abstract b from g arriving at "let x = b in h x",
  8441 otherwise we unfold the let and arrive at g.  The simproc can be
  8442 enabled/disabled by the reference use_let_simproc.  Potential
  8443 INCOMPATIBILITY since simplification is more powerful by default.
  8444 
  8445 * Classical reasoning: the meson method now accepts theorems as arguments.
  8446 
  8447 * Prover support: pre-release of the Isabelle-ATP linkup, which runs background
  8448 jobs to provide advice on the provability of subgoals.
  8449 
  8450 * Theory OrderedGroup and Ring_and_Field: various additions and
  8451 improvements to faciliate calculations involving equalities and
  8452 inequalities.
  8453 
  8454 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8455 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8456 
  8457   abs_eq             now named abs_of_nonneg
  8458   abs_of_ge_0        now named abs_of_nonneg

  8467   mult_neg_le        now named mult_nonpos_nonpos
  8468 
  8469 * The following lemmas in Ring_and_Field have been added to the simplifier:
  8470 
  8471      zero_le_square
  8472      not_square_less_zero
  8473 
  8474   The following lemmas have been deleted from Real/RealPow:
  8475 
  8476      realpow_zero_zero
  8477      realpow_two
  8478      realpow_less
  8479      zero_le_power
  8480      realpow_two_le
  8481      abs_realpow_two
  8482      realpow_two_abs
  8483 
  8484 * Theory Parity: added rules for simplifying exponents.
  8485 
  8486 * Theory List:
  8487 
  8488 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8489 (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8491   list_all_Nil       now named list_all.simps(1)
  8492   list_all_Cons      now named list_all.simps(2)
  8493   list_all_conv      now named list_all_iff
  8494   set_mem_eq         now named mem_iff
  8495 
  8496 * Theories SetsAndFunctions and BigO (see HOL/Library) support
  8497 asymptotic "big O" calculations.  See the notes in BigO.thy.
  8498 
  8499 
  8500 *** HOL-Complex ***
  8501 
  8502 * Theory RealDef: better support for embedding natural numbers and
  8503 integers in the reals.
  8504 
  8505 The following theorems have been eliminated or modified
  8506 (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8507 
  8508   exp_ge_add_one_self  now requires no hypotheses
  8509   real_of_int_add      reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8510   real_of_int_minus    reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8511   real_of_int_diff     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8512   real_of_int_mult     reversed direction of equality (use [symmetric])
  8513 
  8514 * Theory RComplete: expanded support for floor and ceiling functions.
  8515 
  8516 * Theory Ln is new, with properties of the natural logarithm
  8517 
  8518 * Hyperreal: There is a new type constructor "star" for making
  8519 nonstandard types.  The old type names are now type synonyms:
  8520 
  8521   hypreal = real star
  8522   hypnat = nat star
  8523   hcomplex = complex star
  8524 
  8525 * Hyperreal: Many groups of similarly-defined constants have been
  8526 replaced by polymorphic versions (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8542 * Hyperreal: Many type-specific theorems have been removed in favor of
  8543 theorems specific to various axiomatic type classes (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8570 * Hyperreal: Separate theorems having to do with type-specific
  8571 versions of constants have been merged into theorems that apply to the
  8572 new polymorphic constants (INCOMPATIBILITY):

  8663 * Hyperreal: new method "transfer" that implements the transfer
  8664 principle of nonstandard analysis. With a subgoal that mentions
  8665 nonstandard types like "'a star", the command "apply transfer"
  8666 replaces it with an equivalent one that mentions only standard types.
  8667 To be successful, all free variables must have standard types; non-
  8668 standard variables must have explicit universal quantifiers.

  8670 * Hyperreal: A theory of Taylor series.

  8672 
  8673 *** HOLCF ***
  8674 
  8675 * Discontinued special version of 'constdefs' (which used to support
  8676 continuous functions) in favor of the general Pure one with full
  8677 type-inference.
  8678 
  8679 * New simplification procedure for solving continuity conditions; it
  8680 is much faster on terms with many nested lambda abstractions (cubic
  8681 instead of exponential time).
  8682 
  8683 * New syntax for domain package: selector names are now optional.
  8684 Parentheses should be omitted unless argument is lazy, for example:
  8685 
  8686   domain 'a stream = cons "'a" (lazy "'a stream")
  8687 
  8688 * New command 'fixrec' for defining recursive functions with pattern
  8689 matching; defining multiple functions with mutual recursion is also
  8690 supported.  Patterns may include the constants cpair, spair, up, sinl,
  8691 sinr, or any data constructor defined by the domain package. The given
  8692 equations are proven as rewrite rules. See HOLCF/ex/Fixrec_ex.thy for
  8693 syntax and examples.
  8694 
  8695 * New commands 'cpodef' and 'pcpodef' for defining predicate subtypes
  8696 of cpo and pcpo types. Syntax is exactly like the 'typedef' command,
  8697 but the proof obligation additionally includes an admissibility
  8698 requirement. The packages generate instances of class cpo or pcpo,
  8699 with continuity and strictness theorems for Rep and Abs.
  8700 
  8701 * HOLCF: Many theorems have been renamed according to a more standard naming
  8702 scheme (INCOMPATIBILITY):
  8703 
  8704   foo_inject:  "foo$x = foo$y ==> x = y"
  8705   foo_eq:      "(foo$x = foo$y) = (x = y)"
  8706   foo_less:    "(foo$x << foo$y) = (x << y)"
  8707   foo_strict:  "foo$UU = UU"
  8708   foo_defined: "... ==> foo$x ~= UU"
  8709   foo_defined_iff: "(foo$x = UU) = (x = UU)"
  8710 
  8711 
  8712 *** ZF ***
  8713 
  8714 * ZF/ex: theories Group and Ring provide examples in abstract algebra,
  8715 including the First Isomorphism Theorem (on quotienting by the kernel
  8716 of a homomorphism).
  8717 
  8718 * ZF/Simplifier: install second copy of type solver that actually
  8719 makes use of TC rules declared to Isar proof contexts (or locales);
  8720 the old version is still required for ML proof scripts.
  8721 
  8722 
  8723 *** Cube ***
  8724 
  8725 * Converted to Isar theory format; use locales instead of axiomatic
  8726 theories.
  8727 
  8728 
  8729 *** ML ***
  8730 
  8731 * Pure/library.ML: added ##>, ##>>, #>> -- higher-order counterparts
  8732 for ||>, ||>>, |>>,
  8733 
  8734 * Pure/library.ML no longer defines its own option datatype, but uses
  8735 that of the SML basis, which has constructors NONE and SOME instead of
  8736 None and Some, as well as exception Option.Option instead of OPTION.
  8737 The functions the, if_none, is_some, is_none have been adapted
  8738 accordingly, while Option.map replaces apsome.
  8739 
  8740 * Pure/library.ML: the exception LIST has been given up in favour of
  8741 the standard exceptions Empty and Subscript, as well as
  8742 Library.UnequalLengths.  Function like Library.hd and Library.tl are
  8743 superceded by the standard hd and tl functions etc.
  8744 
  8745 A number of basic list functions are no longer exported to the ML
  8746 toplevel, as they are variants of predefined functions.  The following
  8747 suggests how one can translate existing code:
  8748 
  8749     rev_append xs ys = List.revAppend (xs, ys)
  8750     nth_elem (i, xs) = List.nth (xs, i)
  8751     last_elem xs = List.last xs
  8752     flat xss = List.concat xss
  8753     seq fs = List.app fs
  8754     partition P xs = List.partition P xs
  8755     mapfilter f xs = List.mapPartial f xs
  8756 
  8757 * Pure/library.ML: several combinators for linear functional
  8758 transformations, notably reverse application and composition:
  8759 
  8760   x |> f                f #> g
  8761   (x, y) |-> f          f #-> g
  8762 
  8763 * Pure/library.ML: introduced/changed precedence of infix operators:
  8764 
  8765   infix 1 |> |-> ||> ||>> |>> |>>> #> #->;
  8766   infix 2 ?;
  8767   infix 3 o oo ooo oooo;
  8768   infix 4 ~~ upto downto;
  8769 
  8770 Maybe INCOMPATIBILITY when any of those is used in conjunction with other
  8771 infix operators.
  8772 
  8773 * Pure/library.ML: natural list combinators fold, fold_rev, and
  8774 fold_map support linear functional transformations and nesting.  For
  8775 example:
  8776 
  8777   fold f [x1, ..., xN] y =
  8778     y |> f x1 |> ... |> f xN
  8779 
  8780   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] y =
  8781     y |> fold f xs1 |> ... |> fold f xsN
  8782 
  8783   fold f [x1, ..., xN] =
  8784     f x1 #> ... #> f xN
  8785 
  8786   (fold o fold) f [xs1, ..., xsN] =
  8787     fold f xs1 #> ... #> fold f xsN
  8788 
  8789 * Pure/library.ML: the following selectors on type 'a option are
  8790 available:
  8791 
  8792   the:               'a option -> 'a  (*partial*)
  8793   these:             'a option -> 'a  where 'a = 'b list
  8794   the_default: 'a -> 'a option -> 'a
  8795   the_list:          'a option -> 'a list
  8796 
  8797 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8798 basic operations for association lists, following natural argument
  8799 order; moreover the explicit equality predicate passed here avoids
  8800 potentially expensive polymorphic runtime equality checks.
  8801 The old functions may be expressed as follows:
  8802 
  8803   assoc = uncurry (AList.lookup (op =))
  8804   assocs = these oo AList.lookup (op =)
  8805   overwrite = uncurry (AList.update (op =)) o swap
  8806 
  8807 * Pure/General: structure AList (cf. Pure/General/alist.ML) provides
  8808 
  8809   val make: ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'b) list
  8810   val find: ('a * 'b -> bool) -> ('c * 'b) list -> 'a -> 'c list
  8811 
  8812 replacing make_keylist and keyfilter (occassionally used)
  8813 Naive rewrites:
  8814 
  8815   make_keylist = AList.make
  8816   keyfilter = AList.find (op =)
  8817 
  8818 * eq_fst and eq_snd now take explicit equality parameter, thus
  8819   avoiding eqtypes. Naive rewrites:
  8820 
  8821     eq_fst = eq_fst (op =)
  8822     eq_snd = eq_snd (op =)
  8823 
  8824 * Removed deprecated apl and apr (rarely used).
  8825   Naive rewrites:
  8826 
  8827     apl (n, op) =>>= curry op n
  8828     apr (op, m) =>>= fn n => op (n, m)
  8829 
  8830 * Pure/General: structure OrdList (cf. Pure/General/ord_list.ML)
  8831 provides a reasonably efficient light-weight implementation of sets as
  8832 lists.
  8833 
  8834 * Pure/General: generic tables (cf. Pure/General/table.ML) provide a
  8835 few new operations; existing lookup and update are now curried to
  8836 follow natural argument order (for use with fold etc.);
  8837 INCOMPATIBILITY, use (uncurry Symtab.lookup) etc. as last resort.
  8838 
  8839 * Pure/General: output via the Isabelle channels of
  8840 writeln/warning/error etc. is now passed through Output.output, with a
  8841 hook for arbitrary transformations depending on the print_mode
  8842 (cf. Output.add_mode -- the first active mode that provides a output
  8843 function wins).  Already formatted output may be embedded into further
  8844 text via Output.raw; the result of Pretty.string_of/str_of and derived
  8845 functions (string_of_term/cterm/thm etc.) is already marked raw to
  8846 accommodate easy composition of diagnostic messages etc.  Programmers
  8847 rarely need to care about Output.output or Output.raw at all, with
  8848 some notable exceptions: Output.output is required when bypassing the
  8849 standard channels (writeln etc.), or in token translations to produce
  8850 properly formatted results; Output.raw is required when capturing
  8851 already output material that will eventually be presented to the user
  8852 a second time.  For the default print mode, both Output.output and
  8853 Output.raw have no effect.
  8854 
  8855 * Pure/General: Output.time_accumulator NAME creates an operator ('a
  8856 -> 'b) -> 'a -> 'b to measure runtime and count invocations; the
  8857 cumulative results are displayed at the end of a batch session.
  8858 
  8859 * Pure/General: File.sysify_path and File.quote_sysify path have been
  8860 replaced by File.platform_path and File.shell_path (with appropriate
  8861 hooks).  This provides a clean interface for unusual systems where the
  8862 internal and external process view of file names are different.
  8863 
  8864 * Pure: more efficient orders for basic syntactic entities: added
  8865 fast_string_ord, fast_indexname_ord, fast_term_ord; changed sort_ord
  8866 and typ_ord to use fast_string_ord and fast_indexname_ord (term_ord is
  8867 NOT affected); structures Symtab, Vartab, Typtab, Termtab use the fast
  8868 orders now -- potential INCOMPATIBILITY for code that depends on a
  8869 particular order for Symtab.keys, Symtab.dest, etc. (consider using
  8870 Library.sort_strings on result).
  8871 
  8872 * Pure/term.ML: combinators fold_atyps, fold_aterms, fold_term_types,
  8873 fold_types traverse types/terms from left to right, observing natural
  8874 argument order.  Supercedes previous foldl_XXX versions, add_frees,
  8875 add_vars etc. have been adapted as well: INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8876 
  8877 * Pure: name spaces have been refined, with significant changes of the
  8878 internal interfaces -- INCOMPATIBILITY.  Renamed cond_extern(_table)
  8879 to extern(_table).  The plain name entry path is superceded by a
  8880 general 'naming' context, which also includes the 'policy' to produce
  8881 a fully qualified name and external accesses of a fully qualified
  8882 name; NameSpace.extend is superceded by context dependent
  8883 Sign.declare_name.  Several theory and proof context operations modify
  8884 the naming context.  Especially note Theory.restore_naming and
  8885 ProofContext.restore_naming to get back to a sane state; note that
  8886 Theory.add_path is no longer sufficient to recover from
  8887 Theory.absolute_path in particular.
  8888 
  8889 * Pure: new flags short_names (default false) and unique_names
  8890 (default true) for controlling output of qualified names.  If
  8891 short_names is set, names are printed unqualified.  If unique_names is
  8892 reset, the name prefix is reduced to the minimum required to achieve
  8893 the original result when interning again, even if there is an overlap
  8894 with earlier declarations.
  8895 
  8896 * Pure/TheoryDataFun: change of the argument structure; 'prep_ext' is
  8897 now 'extend', and 'merge' gets an additional Pretty.pp argument
  8898 (useful for printing error messages).  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8899 
  8900 * Pure: major reorganization of the theory context.  Type Sign.sg and
  8901 Theory.theory are now identified, referring to the universal
  8902 Context.theory (see Pure/context.ML).  Actual signature and theory
  8903 content is managed as theory data.  The old code and interfaces were
  8904 spread over many files and structures; the new arrangement introduces
  8905 considerable INCOMPATIBILITY to gain more clarity:
  8906 
  8907   Context -- theory management operations (name, identity, inclusion,
  8908     parents, ancestors, merge, etc.), plus generic theory data;
  8909 
  8910   Sign -- logical signature and syntax operations (declaring consts,
  8911     types, etc.), plus certify/read for common entities;
  8912 
  8913   Theory -- logical theory operations (stating axioms, definitions,
  8914     oracles), plus a copy of logical signature operations (consts,
  8915     types, etc.); also a few basic management operations (Theory.copy,
  8916     Theory.merge, etc.)
  8917 
  8918 The most basic sign_of operations (Theory.sign_of, Thm.sign_of_thm
  8919 etc.) as well as the sign field in Thm.rep_thm etc. have been retained
  8920 for convenience -- they merely return the theory.
  8921 
  8922 * Pure: type Type.tsig is superceded by theory in most interfaces.
  8923 
  8924 * Pure: the Isar proof context type is already defined early in Pure
  8925 as Context.proof (note that ProofContext.context and Proof.context are
  8926 aliases, where the latter is the preferred name).  This enables other
  8927 Isabelle components to refer to that type even before Isar is present.
  8928 
  8929 * Pure/sign/theory: discontinued named name spaces (i.e. classK,
  8930 typeK, constK, axiomK, oracleK), but provide explicit operations for
  8931 any of these kinds.  For example, Sign.intern typeK is now
  8932 Sign.intern_type, Theory.hide_space Sign.typeK is now
  8933 Theory.hide_types.  Also note that former
  8934 Theory.hide_classes/types/consts are now
  8935 Theory.hide_classes_i/types_i/consts_i, while the non '_i' versions
  8936 internalize their arguments!  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  8937 
  8938 * Pure: get_thm interface (of PureThy and ProofContext) expects
  8939 datatype thmref (with constructors Name and NameSelection) instead of
  8940 plain string -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  8941 
  8942 * Pure: cases produced by proof methods specify options, where NONE
  8943 means to remove case bindings -- INCOMPATIBILITY in
  8944 (RAW_)METHOD_CASES.
  8945 
  8946 * Pure: the following operations retrieve axioms or theorems from a
  8947 theory node or theory hierarchy, respectively:
  8948 
  8949   Theory.axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8950   Theory.all_axioms_of: theory -> (string * term) list
  8951   PureThy.thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8952   PureThy.all_thms_of: theory -> (string * thm) list
  8953 
  8954 * Pure: print_tac now outputs the goal through the trace channel.
  8955 
  8956 * Isar toplevel: improved diagnostics, mostly for Poly/ML only.
  8957 Reference Toplevel.debug (default false) controls detailed printing
  8958 and tracing of low-level exceptions; Toplevel.profiling (default 0)
  8959 controls execution profiling -- set to 1 for time and 2 for space
  8960 (both increase the runtime).
  8961 
  8962 * Isar session: The initial use of ROOT.ML is now always timed,
  8963 i.e. the log will show the actual process times, in contrast to the
  8964 elapsed wall-clock time that the outer shell wrapper produces.
  8965 
  8966 * Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
  8967 representation, avoid allocating new strings).  Simprocs that invoke
  8968 the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
  8969 avoid local name clashes.  Failure to do so produces warnings
  8970 "Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
  8971 for further details.
  8972 
  8973 * ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
  8974 bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
  8975 in porting non-Isar theories to Isar ones, while keeping ML proof
  8976 scripts for the time being.
  8977 
  8978 * ML operator HTML.with_charset specifies the charset begin used for
  8979 generated HTML files.  For example:
  8980 
  8981   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Hebrew";
  8982   HTML.with_charset "utf-8" use_thy "Chinese";
  8983 
  8984 
  8985 *** System ***
  8986 
  8987 * Allow symlinks to all proper Isabelle executables (Isabelle,
  8988 isabelle, isatool etc.).
  8989 
  8990 * ISABELLE_DOC_FORMAT setting specifies preferred document format (for
  8991 isatool doc, isatool mkdir, display_drafts etc.).
  8992 
  8993 * isatool usedir: option -f allows specification of the ML file to be
  8994 used by Isabelle; default is ROOT.ML.
  8995 
  8996 * New isatool version outputs the version identifier of the Isabelle
  8997 distribution being used.
  8998 
  8999 * HOL: new isatool dimacs2hol converts files in DIMACS CNF format
  9000 (containing Boolean satisfiability problems) into Isabelle/HOL
  9001 theories.
  9002 
  9003 
  9004 
  9005 New in Isabelle2004 (April 2004)
  9006 --------------------------------
  9007 
  9008 *** General ***
  9009 
  9010 * Provers/order.ML:  new efficient reasoner for partial and linear orders.
  9011   Replaces linorder.ML.
  9012 
  9013 * Pure: Greek letters (except small lambda, \<lambda>), as well as Gothic
  9014   (\<aa>...\<zz>\<AA>...\<ZZ>), calligraphic (\<A>...\<Z>), and Euler
  9015   (\<a>...\<z>), are now considered normal letters, and can therefore
  9016   be used anywhere where an ASCII letter (a...zA...Z) has until
  9017   now. COMPATIBILITY: This obviously changes the parsing of some
  9018   terms, especially where a symbol has been used as a binder, say
  9019   '\<Pi>x. ...', which is now a type error since \<Pi>x will be parsed
  9020   as an identifier.  Fix it by inserting a space around former
  9021   symbols.  Call 'isatool fixgreek' to try to fix parsing errors in
  9022   existing theory and ML files.
  9023 
  9024 * Pure: Macintosh and Windows line-breaks are now allowed in theory files.
  9025 
  9026 * Pure: single letter sub/superscripts (\<^isub> and \<^isup>) are now
  9027   allowed in identifiers. Similar to Greek letters \<^isub> is now considered
  9028   a normal (but invisible) letter. For multiple letter subscripts repeat
  9029   \<^isub> like this: x\<^isub>1\<^isub>2.
  9030 
  9031 * Pure: There are now sub-/superscripts that can span more than one
  9032   character. Text between \<^bsub> and \<^esub> is set in subscript in
  9033   ProofGeneral and LaTeX, text between \<^bsup> and \<^esup> in
  9034   superscript. The new control characters are not identifier parts.
  9035 
  9036 * Pure: Control-symbols of the form \<^raw:...> will literally print the
  9037   content of "..." to the latex file instead of \isacntrl... . The "..."
  9038   may consist of any printable characters excluding the end bracket >.
  9039 
  9040 * Pure: Using new Isar command "finalconsts" (or the ML functions
  9041   Theory.add_finals or Theory.add_finals_i) it is now possible to
  9042   declare constants "final", which prevents their being given a definition
  9043   later.  It is useful for constants whose behaviour is fixed axiomatically
  9044   rather than definitionally, such as the meta-logic connectives.
  9045 
  9046 * Pure: 'instance' now handles general arities with general sorts
  9047   (i.e. intersections of classes),
  9048 
  9049 * Presentation: generated HTML now uses a CSS style sheet to make layout
  9050   (somewhat) independent of content. It is copied from lib/html/isabelle.css.
  9051   It can be changed to alter the colors/layout of generated pages.
  9052 
  9053 
  9054 *** Isar ***
  9055 
  9056 * Tactic emulation methods rule_tac, erule_tac, drule_tac, frule_tac,
  9057   cut_tac, subgoal_tac and thin_tac:
  9058   - Now understand static (Isar) contexts.  As a consequence, users of Isar
  9059     locales are no longer forced to write Isar proof scripts.
  9060     For details see Isar Reference Manual, paragraph 4.3.2: Further tactic
  9061     emulations.
  9062   - INCOMPATIBILITY: names of variables to be instantiated may no
  9063     longer be enclosed in quotes.  Instead, precede variable name with `?'.
  9064     This is consistent with the instantiation attribute "where".
  9065 
  9066 * Attributes "where" and "of":
  9067   - Now take type variables of instantiated theorem into account when reading
  9068     the instantiation string.  This fixes a bug that caused instantiated
  9069     theorems to have too special types in some circumstances.
  9070   - "where" permits explicit instantiations of type variables.
  9071 
  9072 * Calculation commands "moreover" and "also" no longer interfere with
  9073   current facts ("this"), admitting arbitrary combinations with "then"
  9074   and derived forms.
  9075 
  9076 * Locales:
  9077   - Goal statements involving the context element "includes" no longer
  9078     generate theorems with internal delta predicates (those ending on
  9079     "_axioms") in the premise.
  9080     Resolve particular premise with <locale>.intro to obtain old form.
  9081   - Fixed bug in type inference ("unify_frozen") that prevented mix of target
  9082     specification and "includes" elements in goal statement.
  9083   - Rule sets <locale>.intro and <locale>.axioms no longer declared as
  9084     [intro?] and [elim?] (respectively) by default.
  9085   - Experimental command for instantiation of locales in proof contexts:
  9086         instantiate <label>[<attrs>]: <loc>
  9087     Instantiates locale <loc> and adds all its theorems to the current context
  9088     taking into account their attributes.  Label and attrs are optional
  9089     modifiers, like in theorem declarations.  If present, names of
  9090     instantiated theorems are qualified with <label>, and the attributes
  9091     <attrs> are applied after any attributes these theorems might have already.
  9092       If the locale has assumptions, a chained fact of the form
  9093     "<loc> t1 ... tn" is expected from which instantiations of the parameters
  9094     are derived.  The command does not support old-style locales declared
  9095     with "locale (open)".
  9096       A few (very simple) examples can be found in FOL/ex/LocaleInst.thy.
  9097 
  9098 * HOL: Tactic emulation methods induct_tac and case_tac understand static
  9099   (Isar) contexts.
  9100 
  9101 
  9102 *** HOL ***
  9103 
  9104 * Proof import: new image HOL4 contains the imported library from
  9105   the HOL4 system with about 2500 theorems. It is imported by
  9106   replaying proof terms produced by HOL4 in Isabelle. The HOL4 image
  9107   can be used like any other Isabelle image.  See
  9108   HOL/Import/HOL/README for more information.
  9109 
  9110 * Simplifier:
  9111   - Much improved handling of linear and partial orders.
  9112     Reasoners for linear and partial orders are set up for type classes
  9113     "linorder" and "order" respectively, and are added to the default simpset
  9114     as solvers.  This means that the simplifier can build transitivity chains
  9115     to solve goals from the assumptions.
  9116   - INCOMPATIBILITY: old proofs break occasionally.  Typically, applications
  9117     of blast or auto after simplification become unnecessary because the goal
  9118     is solved by simplification already.
  9119 
  9120 * Numerics: new theory Ring_and_Field contains over 250 basic numerical laws,
  9121     all proved in axiomatic type classes for semirings, rings and fields.
  9122 
  9123 * Numerics:
  9124   - Numeric types (nat, int, and in HOL-Complex rat, real, complex, etc.) are
  9125     now formalized using the Ring_and_Field theory mentioned above.
  9126   - INCOMPATIBILITY: simplification and arithmetic behaves somewhat differently
  9127     than before, because now they are set up once in a generic manner.
  9128   - INCOMPATIBILITY: many type-specific arithmetic laws have gone.
  9129     Look for the general versions in Ring_and_Field (and Power if they concern
  9130     exponentiation).
  9131 
  9132 * Type "rat" of the rational numbers is now available in HOL-Complex.
  9133 
  9134 * Records:
  9135   - Record types are now by default printed with their type abbreviation
  9136     instead of the list of all field types. This can be configured via
  9137     the reference "print_record_type_abbr".
  9138   - Simproc "record_upd_simproc" for simplification of multiple updates added
  9139     (not enabled by default).
  9140   - Simproc "record_ex_sel_eq_simproc" to simplify EX x. sel r = x resp.
  9141     EX x. x = sel r to True (not enabled by default).
  9142   - Tactic "record_split_simp_tac" to split and simplify records added.
  9143 
  9144 * 'specification' command added, allowing for definition by
  9145   specification.  There is also an 'ax_specification' command that
  9146   introduces the new constants axiomatically.
  9147 
  9148 * arith(_tac) is now able to generate counterexamples for reals as well.
  9149 
  9150 * HOL-Algebra: new locale "ring" for non-commutative rings.
  9151 
  9152 * HOL-ex: InductiveInvariant_examples illustrates advanced recursive function
  9153   definitions, thanks to Sava Krsti\'{c} and John Matthews.
  9154 
  9155 * HOL-Matrix: a first theory for matrices in HOL with an application of
  9156   matrix theory to linear programming.
  9157 
  9158 * Unions and Intersections:
  9159   The latex output syntax of UN and INT has been changed
  9160   from "\Union x \in A. B" to "\Union_{x \in A} B"
  9161   i.e. the index formulae has become a subscript.
  9162   Similarly for "\Union x. B", and for \Inter instead of \Union.
  9163 
  9164 * Unions and Intersections over Intervals:
  9165   There is new short syntax "UN i<=n. A" for "UN i:{0..n}. A". There is
  9166   also an x-symbol version with subscripts "\<Union>\<^bsub>i <= n\<^esub>. A"
  9167   like in normal math, and corresponding versions for < and for intersection.
  9168 
  9169 * HOL/List: Ordering "lexico" is renamed "lenlex" and the standard
  9170   lexicographic dictonary ordering has been added as "lexord".
  9171 
  9172 * ML: the legacy theory structures Int and List have been removed. They had
  9173   conflicted with ML Basis Library structures having the same names.
  9174 
  9175 * 'refute' command added to search for (finite) countermodels.  Only works
  9176   for a fragment of HOL.  The installation of an external SAT solver is
  9177   highly recommended.  See "HOL/Refute.thy" for details.
  9178 
  9179 * 'quickcheck' command: Allows to find counterexamples by evaluating
  9180   formulae under an assignment of free variables to random values.
  9181   In contrast to 'refute', it can deal with inductive datatypes,
  9182   but cannot handle quantifiers. See "HOL/ex/Quickcheck_Examples.thy"
  9183   for examples.
  9184 
  9185 
  9186 *** HOLCF ***
  9187 
  9188 * Streams now come with concatenation and are part of the HOLCF image
  9189 
  9190 
  9191 
  9192 New in Isabelle2003 (May 2003)
  9193 ------------------------------
  9194 
  9195 *** General ***
  9196 
  9197 * Provers/simplifier:
  9198 
  9199   - Completely reimplemented method simp (ML: Asm_full_simp_tac):
  9200     Assumptions are now subject to complete mutual simplification,
  9201     not just from left to right. The simplifier now preserves
  9202     the order of assumptions.
  9203 
  9204     Potential INCOMPATIBILITY:
  9205 
  9206     -- simp sometimes diverges where the old version did
  9207        not, e.g. invoking simp on the goal
  9208 
  9209         [| P (f x); y = x; f x = f y |] ==> Q
  9210 
  9211        now gives rise to the infinite reduction sequence
  9212 
  9213         P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> P(f y) --(y = x)--> P(f x) --(f x = f y)--> ...
  9214 
  9215        Using "simp (asm_lr)" (ML: Asm_lr_simp_tac) instead often solves this
  9216        kind of problem.
  9217 
  9218     -- Tactics combining classical reasoner and simplification (such as auto)
  9219        are also affected by this change, because many of them rely on
  9220        simp. They may sometimes diverge as well or yield a different numbers
  9221        of subgoals. Try to use e.g. force, fastsimp, or safe instead of auto
  9222        in case of problems. Sometimes subsequent calls to the classical
  9223        reasoner will fail because a preceeding call to the simplifier too
  9224        eagerly simplified the goal, e.g. deleted redundant premises.
  9225 
  9226   - The simplifier trace now shows the names of the applied rewrite rules
  9227 
  9228   - You can limit the number of recursive invocations of the simplifier
  9229     during conditional rewriting (where the simplifie tries to solve the
  9230     conditions before applying the rewrite rule):
  9231     ML "simp_depth_limit := n"
  9232     where n is an integer. Thus you can force termination where previously
  9233     the simplifier would diverge.
  9234 
  9235   - Accepts free variables as head terms in congruence rules.  Useful in Isar.
  9236 
  9237   - No longer aborts on failed congruence proof.  Instead, the
  9238     congruence is ignored.
  9239 
  9240 * Pure: New generic framework for extracting programs from constructive
  9241   proofs. See HOL/Extraction.thy for an example instantiation, as well
  9242   as HOL/Extraction for some case studies.
  9243 
  9244 * Pure: The main goal of the proof state is no longer shown by default, only
  9245 the subgoals. This behaviour is controlled by a new flag.
  9246    PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Settings -> Show Main Goal
  9247 (ML: Proof.show_main_goal).
  9248 
  9249 * Pure: You can find all matching introduction rules for subgoal 1, i.e. all
  9250 rules whose conclusion matches subgoal 1:
  9251       PG menu: Isabelle/Isar -> Show me -> matching rules
  9252 The rules are ordered by how closely they match the subgoal.
  9253 In particular, rules that solve a subgoal outright are displayed first
  9254 (or rather last, the way they are printed).
  9255 (ML: ProofGeneral.print_intros())
  9256 
  9257 * Pure: New flag trace_unify_fail causes unification to print
  9258 diagnostic information (PG: in trace buffer) when it fails. This is
  9259 useful for figuring out why single step proofs like rule, erule or
  9260 assumption failed.
  9261 
  9262 * Pure: Locale specifications now produce predicate definitions
  9263 according to the body of text (covering assumptions modulo local
  9264 definitions); predicate "loc_axioms" covers newly introduced text,
  9265 while "loc" is cumulative wrt. all included locale expressions; the
  9266 latter view is presented only on export into the global theory
  9267 context; potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use "(open)" option to fall back
  9268 on the old view without predicates;
  9269 
  9270 * Pure: predefined locales "var" and "struct" are useful for sharing
  9271 parameters (as in CASL, for example); just specify something like
  9272 ``var x + var y + struct M'' as import;
  9273 
  9274 * Pure: improved thms_containing: proper indexing of facts instead of
  9275 raw theorems; check validity of results wrt. current name space;
  9276 include local facts of proof configuration (also covers active
  9277 locales), cover fixed variables in index; may use "_" in term
  9278 specification; an optional limit for the number of printed facts may
  9279 be given (the default is 40);
  9280 
  9281 * Pure: disallow duplicate fact bindings within new-style theory files
  9282 (batch-mode only);
  9283 
  9284 * Provers: improved induct method: assumptions introduced by case
  9285 "foo" are split into "foo.hyps" (from the rule) and "foo.prems" (from
  9286 the goal statement); "foo" still refers to all facts collectively;
  9287 
  9288 * Provers: the function blast.overloaded has been removed: all constants
  9289 are regarded as potentially overloaded, which improves robustness in exchange
  9290 for slight decrease in efficiency;
  9291 
  9292 * Provers/linorder: New generic prover for transitivity reasoning over
  9293 linear orders.  Note: this prover is not efficient!
  9294 
  9295 * Isar: preview of problems to finish 'show' now produce an error
  9296 rather than just a warning (in interactive mode);
  9297 
  9298 
  9299 *** HOL ***
  9300 
  9301 * arith(_tac)
  9302 
  9303  - Produces a counter example if it cannot prove a goal.
  9304    Note that the counter example may be spurious if the goal is not a formula
  9305    of quantifier-free linear arithmetic.
  9306    In ProofGeneral the counter example appears in the trace buffer.
  9307 
  9308  - Knows about div k and mod k where k is a numeral of type nat or int.
  9309 
  9310  - Calls full Presburger arithmetic (by Amine Chaieb) if quantifier-free
  9311    linear arithmetic fails. This takes account of quantifiers and divisibility.
  9312    Presburger arithmetic can also be called explicitly via presburger(_tac).
  9313 
  9314 * simp's arithmetic capabilities have been enhanced a bit: it now
  9315 takes ~= in premises into account (by performing a case split);
  9316 
  9317 * simp reduces "m*(n div m) + n mod m" to n, even if the two summands
  9318 are distributed over a sum of terms;
  9319 
  9320 * New tactic "trans_tac" and method "trans" instantiate
  9321 Provers/linorder.ML for axclasses "order" and "linorder" (predicates
  9322 "<=", "<" and "=").
  9323 
  9324 * function INCOMPATIBILITIES: Pi-sets have been redefined and moved from main
  9325 HOL to Library/FuncSet; constant "Fun.op o" is now called "Fun.comp";
  9326 
  9327 * 'typedef' command has new option "open" to suppress the set
  9328 definition;
  9329 
  9330 * functions Min and Max on finite sets have been introduced (theory
  9331 Finite_Set);
  9332 
  9333 * attribute [symmetric] now works for relations as well; it turns
  9334 (x,y) : R^-1 into (y,x) : R, and vice versa;
  9335 
  9336 * induct over a !!-quantified statement (say !!x1..xn):
  9337   each "case" automatically performs "fix x1 .. xn" with exactly those names.
  9338 
  9339 * Map: `empty' is no longer a constant but a syntactic abbreviation for
  9340 %x. None. Warning: empty_def now refers to the previously hidden definition
  9341 of the empty set.
  9342 
  9343 * Algebra: formalization of classical algebra.  Intended as base for
  9344 any algebraic development in Isabelle.  Currently covers group theory
  9345 (up to Sylow's theorem) and ring theory (Universal Property of
  9346 Univariate Polynomials).  Contributions welcome;
  9347 
  9348 * GroupTheory: deleted, since its material has been moved to Algebra;
  9349 
  9350 * Complex: new directory of the complex numbers with numeric constants,
  9351 nonstandard complex numbers, and some complex analysis, standard and
  9352 nonstandard (Jacques Fleuriot);
  9353 
  9354 * HOL-Complex: new image for analysis, replacing HOL-Real and HOL-Hyperreal;
  9355 
  9356 * Hyperreal: introduced Gauge integration and hyperreal logarithms (Jacques
  9357 Fleuriot);
  9358 
  9359 * Real/HahnBanach: updated and adapted to locales;
  9360 
  9361 * NumberTheory: added Gauss's law of quadratic reciprocity (by Avigad,
  9362 Gray and Kramer);
  9363 
  9364 * UNITY: added the Meier-Sanders theory of progress sets;
  9365 
  9366 * MicroJava: bytecode verifier and lightweight bytecode verifier
  9367 as abstract algorithms, instantiated to the JVM;
  9368 
  9369 * Bali: Java source language formalization. Type system, operational
  9370 semantics, axiomatic semantics. Supported language features:
  9371 classes, interfaces, objects,virtual methods, static methods,
  9372 static/instance fields, arrays, access modifiers, definite
  9373 assignment, exceptions.
  9374 
  9375 
  9376 *** ZF ***
  9377 
  9378 * ZF/Constructible: consistency proof for AC (Gdel's constructible
  9379 universe, etc.);
  9380 
  9381 * Main ZF: virtually all theories converted to new-style format;
  9382 
  9383 
  9384 *** ML ***
  9385 
  9386 * Pure: Tactic.prove provides sane interface for internal proofs;
  9387 omits the infamous "standard" operation, so this is more appropriate
  9388 than prove_goalw_cterm in many situations (e.g. in simprocs);
  9389 
  9390 * Pure: improved error reporting of simprocs;
  9391 
  9392 * Provers: Simplifier.simproc(_i) provides sane interface for setting
  9393 up simprocs;
  9394 
  9395 
  9396 *** Document preparation ***
  9397 
  9398 * uses \par instead of \\ for line breaks in theory text. This may
  9399 shift some page breaks in large documents. To get the old behaviour
  9400 use \renewcommand{\isanewline}{\mbox{}\\\mbox{}} in root.tex.
  9401 
  9402 * minimized dependencies of isabelle.sty and isabellesym.sty on
  9403 other packages
  9404 
  9405 * \<euro> now needs package babel/greek instead of marvosym (which
  9406 broke \Rightarrow)
  9407 
  9408 * normal size for \<zero>...\<nine> (uses \mathbf instead of
  9409 textcomp package)
  9410 
  9411 
  9412 
  9413 New in Isabelle2002 (March 2002)
  9414 --------------------------------
  9415 
  9416 *** Document preparation ***
  9417 
  9418 * greatly simplified document preparation setup, including more
  9419 graceful interpretation of isatool usedir -i/-d/-D options, and more
  9420 instructive isatool mkdir; users should basically be able to get
  9421 started with "isatool mkdir HOL Test && isatool make"; alternatively,
  9422 users may run a separate document processing stage manually like this:
  9423 "isatool usedir -D output HOL Test && isatool document Test/output";
  9424 
  9425 * theory dependency graph may now be incorporated into documents;
  9426 isatool usedir -g true will produce session_graph.eps/.pdf for use
  9427 with \includegraphics of LaTeX;
  9428 
  9429 * proper spacing of consecutive markup elements, especially text
  9430 blocks after section headings;
  9431 
  9432 * support bold style (for single symbols only), input syntax is like
  9433 this: "\<^bold>\<alpha>" or "\<^bold>A";
  9434 
  9435 * \<bullet> is now output as bold \cdot by default, which looks much
  9436 better in printed text;
  9437 
  9438 * added default LaTeX bindings for \<tturnstile> and \<TTurnstile>;
  9439 note that these symbols are currently unavailable in Proof General /
  9440 X-Symbol; new symbols \<zero>, \<one>, ..., \<nine>, and \<euro>;
  9441 
  9442 * isatool latex no longer depends on changed TEXINPUTS, instead
  9443 isatool document copies the Isabelle style files to the target
  9444 location;
  9445 
  9446 
  9447 *** Isar ***
  9448 
  9449 * Pure/Provers: improved proof by cases and induction;
  9450   - 'case' command admits impromptu naming of parameters (such as
  9451     "case (Suc n)");
  9452   - 'induct' method divinates rule instantiation from the inductive
  9453     claim; no longer requires excessive ?P bindings for proper
  9454     instantiation of cases;
  9455   - 'induct' method properly enumerates all possibilities of set/type
  9456     rules; as a consequence facts may be also passed through *type*
  9457     rules without further ado;
  9458   - 'induct' method now derives symbolic cases from the *rulified*
  9459     rule (before it used to rulify cases stemming from the internal
  9460     atomized version); this means that the context of a non-atomic
  9461     statement becomes is included in the hypothesis, avoiding the
  9462     slightly cumbersome show "PROP ?case" form;
  9463   - 'induct' may now use elim-style induction rules without chaining
  9464     facts, using ``missing'' premises from the goal state; this allows
  9465     rules stemming from inductive sets to be applied in unstructured
  9466     scripts, while still benefitting from proper handling of non-atomic
  9467     statements; NB: major inductive premises need to be put first, all
  9468     the rest of the goal is passed through the induction;
  9469   - 'induct' proper support for mutual induction involving non-atomic
  9470     rule statements (uses the new concept of simultaneous goals, see
  9471     below);
  9472   - append all possible rule selections, but only use the first
  9473     success (no backtracking);
  9474   - removed obsolete "(simplified)" and "(stripped)" options of methods;
  9475   - undeclared rule case names default to numbers 1, 2, 3, ...;
  9476   - added 'print_induct_rules' (covered by help item in recent Proof
  9477     General versions);
  9478   - moved induct/cases attributes to Pure, methods to Provers;
  9479   - generic method setup instantiated for FOL and HOL;
  9480 
  9481 * Pure: support multiple simultaneous goal statements, for example
  9482 "have a: A and b: B" (same for 'theorem' etc.); being a pure
  9483 meta-level mechanism, this acts as if several individual goals had
  9484 been stated separately; in particular common proof methods need to be
  9485 repeated in order to cover all claims; note that a single elimination
  9486 step is *not* sufficient to establish the two conjunctions, so this
  9487 fails:
  9488 
  9489   assume "A & B" then have A and B ..   (*".." fails*)
  9490 
  9491 better use "obtain" in situations as above; alternative refer to
  9492 multi-step methods like 'auto', 'simp_all', 'blast+' etc.;
  9493 
  9494 * Pure: proper integration with ``locales''; unlike the original
  9495 version by Florian Kammller, Isar locales package high-level proof
  9496 contexts rather than raw logical ones (e.g. we admit to include
  9497 attributes everywhere); operations on locales include merge and
  9498 rename; support for implicit arguments (``structures''); simultaneous
  9499 type-inference over imports and text; see also HOL/ex/Locales.thy for
  9500 some examples;
  9501 
  9502 * Pure: the following commands have been ``localized'', supporting a
  9503 target locale specification "(in name)": 'lemma', 'theorem',
  9504 'corollary', 'lemmas', 'theorems', 'declare'; the results will be
  9505 stored both within the locale and at the theory level (exported and
  9506 qualified by the locale name);
  9507 
  9508 * Pure: theory goals may now be specified in ``long'' form, with
  9509 ad-hoc contexts consisting of arbitrary locale elements. for example
  9510 ``lemma foo: fixes x assumes "A x" shows "B x"'' (local syntax and
  9511 definitions may be given, too); the result is a meta-level rule with
  9512 the context elements being discharged in the obvious way;
  9513 
  9514 * Pure: new proof command 'using' allows to augment currently used
  9515 facts after a goal statement ('using' is syntactically analogous to
  9516 'apply', but acts on the goal's facts only); this allows chained facts
  9517 to be separated into parts given before and after a claim, as in
  9518 ``from a and b have C using d and e <proof>'';
  9519 
  9520 * Pure: renamed "antecedent" case to "rule_context";
  9521 
  9522 * Pure: new 'judgment' command records explicit information about the
  9523 object-logic embedding (used by several tools internally); no longer
  9524 use hard-wired "Trueprop";
  9525 
  9526 * Pure: added 'corollary' command;
  9527 
  9528 * Pure: fixed 'token_translation' command;
  9529 
  9530 * Pure: removed obsolete 'exported' attribute;
  9531 
  9532 * Pure: dummy pattern "_" in is/let is now automatically lifted over
  9533 bound variables: "ALL x. P x --> Q x" (is "ALL x. _ --> ?C x")
  9534 supersedes more cumbersome ... (is "ALL x. _ x --> ?C x");
  9535 
  9536 * Pure: method 'atomize' presents local goal premises as object-level
  9537 statements (atomic meta-level propositions); setup controlled via
  9538 rewrite rules declarations of 'atomize' attribute; example
  9539 application: 'induct' method with proper rule statements in improper
  9540 proof *scripts*;
  9541 
  9542 * Pure: emulation of instantiation tactics (rule_tac, cut_tac, etc.)
  9543 now consider the syntactic context of assumptions, giving a better
  9544 chance to get type-inference of the arguments right (this is
  9545 especially important for locales);
  9546 
  9547 * Pure: "sorry" no longer requires quick_and_dirty in interactive
  9548 mode;
  9549 
  9550 * Pure/obtain: the formal conclusion "thesis", being marked as
  9551 ``internal'', may no longer be reference directly in the text;
  9552 potential INCOMPATIBILITY, may need to use "?thesis" in rare
  9553 situations;
  9554 
  9555 * Pure: generic 'sym' attribute which declares a rule both as pure
  9556 'elim?' and for the 'symmetric' operation;
  9557 
  9558 * Pure: marginal comments ``--'' may now occur just anywhere in the
  9559 text; the fixed correlation with particular command syntax has been
  9560 discontinued;
  9561 
  9562 * Pure: new method 'rules' is particularly well-suited for proof
  9563 search in intuitionistic logic; a bit slower than 'blast' or 'fast',
  9564 but often produces more compact proof terms with less detours;
  9565 
  9566 * Pure/Provers/classical: simplified integration with pure rule
  9567 attributes and methods; the classical "intro?/elim?/dest?"
  9568 declarations coincide with the pure ones; the "rule" method no longer
  9569 includes classically swapped intros; "intro" and "elim" methods no
  9570 longer pick rules from the context; also got rid of ML declarations
  9571 AddXIs/AddXEs/AddXDs; all of this has some potential for
  9572 INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9573 
  9574 * Provers/classical: attribute 'swapped' produces classical inversions
  9575 of introduction rules;
  9576 
  9577 * Provers/simplifier: 'simplified' attribute may refer to explicit
  9578 rules instead of full simplifier context; 'iff' attribute handles
  9579 conditional rules;
  9580 
  9581 * HOL: 'typedef' now allows alternative names for Rep/Abs morphisms;
  9582 
  9583 * HOL: 'recdef' now fails on unfinished automated proofs, use
  9584 "(permissive)" option to recover old behavior;
  9585 
  9586 * HOL: 'inductive' no longer features separate (collective) attributes
  9587 for 'intros' (was found too confusing);
  9588 
  9589 * HOL: properly declared induction rules less_induct and
  9590 wf_induct_rule;
  9591 
  9592 
  9593 *** HOL ***
  9594 
  9595 * HOL: moved over to sane numeral syntax; the new policy is as
  9596 follows:
  9597 
  9598   - 0 and 1 are polymorphic constants, which are defined on any
  9599   numeric type (nat, int, real etc.);
  9600 
  9601   - 2, 3, 4, ... and -1, -2, -3, ... are polymorphic numerals, based
  9602   binary representation internally;
  9603 
  9604   - type nat has special constructor Suc, and generally prefers Suc 0
  9605   over 1::nat and Suc (Suc 0) over 2::nat;
  9606 
  9607 This change may cause significant problems of INCOMPATIBILITY; here
  9608 are some hints on converting existing sources:
  9609 
  9610   - due to the new "num" token, "-0" and "-1" etc. are now atomic
  9611   entities, so expressions involving "-" (unary or binary minus) need
  9612   to be spaced properly;
  9613 
  9614   - existing occurrences of "1" may need to be constraint "1::nat" or
  9615   even replaced by Suc 0; similar for old "2";
  9616 
  9617   - replace "#nnn" by "nnn", and "#-nnn" by "-nnn";
  9618 
  9619   - remove all special provisions on numerals in proofs;
  9620 
  9621 * HOL: simp rules nat_number expand numerals on nat to Suc/0
  9622 representation (depends on bin_arith_simps in the default context);
  9623 
  9624 * HOL: symbolic syntax for x^2 (numeral 2);
  9625 
  9626 * HOL: the class of all HOL types is now called "type" rather than
  9627 "term"; INCOMPATIBILITY, need to adapt references to this type class
  9628 in axclass/classes, instance/arities, and (usually rare) occurrences
  9629 in typings (of consts etc.); internally the class is called
  9630 "HOL.type", ML programs should refer to HOLogic.typeS;
  9631 
  9632 * HOL/record package improvements:
  9633   - new derived operations "fields" to build a partial record section,
  9634     "extend" to promote a fixed record to a record scheme, and
  9635     "truncate" for the reverse; cf. theorems "xxx.defs", which are *not*
  9636     declared as simp by default;
  9637   - shared operations ("more", "fields", etc.) now need to be always
  9638     qualified) --- potential INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9639   - removed "make_scheme" operations (use "make" with "extend") --
  9640     INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9641   - removed "more" class (simply use "term") -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9642   - provides cases/induct rules for use with corresponding Isar
  9643     methods (for concrete records, record schemes, concrete more
  9644     parts, and schematic more parts -- in that order);
  9645   - internal definitions directly based on a light-weight abstract
  9646     theory of product types over typedef rather than datatype;
  9647 
  9648 * HOL: generic code generator for generating executable ML code from
  9649 specifications; specific support for HOL constructs such as inductive
  9650 datatypes and sets, as well as recursive functions; can be invoked
  9651 via 'generate_code' theory section;
  9652 
  9653 * HOL: canonical cases/induct rules for n-tuples (n = 3..7);
  9654 
  9655 * HOL: consolidated and renamed several theories.  In particular:
  9656         Ord.thy has been absorbed into HOL.thy
  9657         String.thy has been absorbed into List.thy
  9658 
  9659 * HOL: concrete setsum syntax "\<Sum>i:A. b" == "setsum (%i. b) A"
  9660 (beware of argument permutation!);
  9661 
  9662 * HOL: linorder_less_split superseded by linorder_cases;
  9663 
  9664 * HOL/List: "nodups" renamed to "distinct";
  9665 
  9666 * HOL: added "The" definite description operator; move Hilbert's "Eps"
  9667 to peripheral theory "Hilbert_Choice"; some INCOMPATIBILITIES:
  9668   - Ex_def has changed, now need to use some_eq_ex
  9669 
  9670 * HOL: made split_all_tac safe; EXISTING PROOFS MAY FAIL OR LOOP, so
  9671 in this (rare) case use:
  9672 
  9673   delSWrapper "split_all_tac"
  9674   addSbefore ("unsafe_split_all_tac", unsafe_split_all_tac)
  9675 
  9676 * HOL: added safe wrapper "split_conv_tac" to claset; EXISTING PROOFS
  9677 MAY FAIL;
  9678 
  9679 * HOL: introduced f^n = f o ... o f; warning: due to the limits of
  9680 Isabelle's type classes, ^ on functions and relations has too general
  9681 a domain, namely ('a * 'b) set and 'a => 'b; this means that it may be
  9682 necessary to attach explicit type constraints;
  9683 
  9684 * HOL/Relation: the prefix name of the infix "O" has been changed from
  9685 "comp" to "rel_comp"; INCOMPATIBILITY: a few theorems have been
  9686 renamed accordingly (eg "compI" -> "rel_compI").
  9687 
  9688 * HOL: syntax translations now work properly with numerals and records
  9689 expressions;
  9690 
  9691 * HOL: bounded abstraction now uses syntax "%" / "\<lambda>" instead
  9692 of "lam" -- INCOMPATIBILITY;
  9693 
  9694 * HOL: got rid of some global declarations (potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  9695 for ML tools): const "()" renamed "Product_Type.Unity", type "unit"
  9696 renamed "Product_Type.unit";
  9697 
  9698 * HOL: renamed rtrancl_into_rtrancl2 to converse_rtrancl_into_rtrancl
  9699 
  9700 * HOL: removed obsolete theorem "optionE" (use "option.exhaust", or
  9701 the "cases" method);
  9702 
  9703 * HOL/GroupTheory: group theory examples including Sylow's theorem (by
  9704 Florian Kammller);
  9705 
  9706 * HOL/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory format; several
  9707 parts turned into readable document, with proper Isar proof texts and
  9708 some explanations (by Gerwin Klein);
  9709 
  9710 * HOL-Real: added Complex_Numbers (by Gertrud Bauer);
  9711 
  9712 * HOL-Hyperreal is now a logic image;
  9713 
  9714 
  9715 *** HOLCF ***
  9716 
  9717 * Isar: consts/constdefs supports mixfix syntax for continuous
  9718 operations;
  9719 
  9720 * Isar: domain package adapted to new-style theory format, e.g. see
  9721 HOLCF/ex/Dnat.thy;
  9722 
  9723 * theory Lift: proper use of rep_datatype lift instead of ML hacks --
  9724 potential INCOMPATIBILITY; now use plain induct_tac instead of former
  9725 lift.induct_tac, always use UU instead of Undef;
  9726 
  9727 * HOLCF/IMP: updated and converted to new-style theory;
  9728 
  9729 
  9730 *** ZF ***
  9731 
  9732 * Isar: proper integration of logic-specific tools and packages,
  9733 including theory commands '(co)inductive', '(co)datatype',
  9734 'rep_datatype', 'inductive_cases', as well as methods 'ind_cases',
  9735 'induct_tac', 'case_tac', and 'typecheck' (with attribute 'TC');
  9736 
  9737 * theory Main no longer includes AC; for the Axiom of Choice, base
  9738 your theory on Main_ZFC;
  9739 
  9740 * the integer library now covers quotients and remainders, with many
  9741 laws relating division to addition, multiplication, etc.;
  9742 
  9743 * ZF/UNITY: Chandy and Misra's UNITY is now available in ZF, giving a
  9744 typeless version of the formalism;
  9745 
  9746 * ZF/AC, Coind, IMP, Resid: updated and converted to new-style theory
  9747 format;
  9748 
  9749 * ZF/Induct: new directory for examples of inductive definitions,
  9750 including theory Multiset for multiset orderings; converted to
  9751 new-style theory format;
  9752 
  9753 * ZF: many new theorems about lists, ordinals, etc.;
  9754 
  9755 
  9756 *** General ***
  9757 
  9758 * Pure/kernel: meta-level proof terms (by Stefan Berghofer); reference
  9759 variable proof controls level of detail: 0 = no proofs (only oracle
  9760 dependencies), 1 = lemma dependencies, 2 = compact proof terms; see
  9761 also ref manual for further ML interfaces;
  9762 
  9763 * Pure/axclass: removed obsolete ML interface
  9764 goal_subclass/goal_arity;
  9765 
  9766 * Pure/syntax: new token syntax "num" for plain numerals (without "#"
  9767 of "xnum"); potential INCOMPATIBILITY, since -0, -1 etc. are now
  9768 separate tokens, so expressions involving minus need to be spaced
  9769 properly;
  9770 
  9771 * Pure/syntax: support non-oriented infixes, using keyword "infix"
  9772 rather than "infixl" or "infixr";
  9773 
  9774 * Pure/syntax: concrete syntax for dummy type variables admits genuine
  9775 sort constraint specifications in type inference; e.g. "x::_::foo"
  9776 ensures that the type of "x" is of sort "foo" (but not necessarily a
  9777 type variable);
  9778 
  9779 * Pure/syntax: print modes "type_brackets" and "no_type_brackets"
  9780 control output of nested => (types); the default behavior is
  9781 "type_brackets";
  9782 
  9783 * Pure/syntax: builtin parse translation for "_constify" turns valued
  9784 tokens into AST constants;
  9785 
  9786 * Pure/syntax: prefer later declarations of translations and print
  9787 translation functions; potential INCOMPATIBILITY: need to reverse
  9788 multiple declarations for same syntax element constant;
  9789 
  9790 * Pure/show_hyps reset by default (in accordance to existing Isar
  9791 practice);
  9792 
  9793 * Provers/classical: renamed addaltern to addafter, addSaltern to
  9794 addSafter;
  9795 
  9796 * Provers/clasimp: ``iff'' declarations now handle conditional rules
  9797 as well;
  9798 
  9799 * system: tested support for MacOS X; should be able to get Isabelle +
  9800 Proof General to work in a plain Terminal after installing Poly/ML
  9801 (e.g. from the Isabelle distribution area) and GNU bash alone
  9802 (e.g. from http://www.apple.com); full X11, XEmacs and X-Symbol
  9803 support requires further installations, e.g. from
  9804 http://fink.sourceforge.net/);
  9805 
  9806 * system: support Poly/ML 4.1.1 (able to manage larger heaps);
  9807 
  9808 * system: reduced base memory usage by Poly/ML (approx. 20 MB instead
  9809 of 40 MB), cf. ML_OPTIONS;
  9810 
  9811 * system: Proof General keywords specification is now part of the
  9812 Isabelle distribution (see etc/isar-keywords.el);
  9813 
  9814 * system: support for persistent Proof General sessions (refrain from
  9815 outdating all loaded theories on startup); user may create writable
  9816 logic images like this: ``isabelle -q HOL Test'';
  9817 
  9818 * system: smart selection of Isabelle process versus Isabelle
  9819 interface, accommodates case-insensitive file systems (e.g. HFS+); may
  9820 run both "isabelle" and "Isabelle" even if file names are badly
  9821 damaged (executable inspects the case of the first letter of its own
  9822 name); added separate "isabelle-process" and "isabelle-interface";
  9823 
  9824 * system: refrain from any attempt at filtering input streams; no
  9825 longer support ``8bit'' encoding of old isabelle font, instead proper
  9826 iso-latin characters may now be used; the related isatools
  9827 "symbolinput" and "nonascii" have disappeared as well;
  9828 
  9829 * system: removed old "xterm" interface (the print modes "xterm" and
  9830 "xterm_color" are still available for direct use in a suitable
  9831 terminal);
  9832 
  9833 
  9834 
  9835 New in Isabelle99-2 (February 2001)
  9836 -----------------------------------
  9837 
  9838 *** Overview of INCOMPATIBILITIES ***
  9839 
  9840 * HOL: please note that theories in the Library and elsewhere often use the
  9841 new-style (Isar) format; to refer to their theorems in an ML script you must
  9842 bind them to ML identifers by e.g.      val thm_name = thm "thm_name";
  9843 
  9844 * HOL: inductive package no longer splits induction rule aggressively,
  9845 but only as far as specified by the introductions given; the old
  9846 format may be recovered via ML function complete_split_rule or attribute
  9847 'split_rule (complete)';
  9848 
  9849 * HOL: induct renamed to lfp_induct, lfp_Tarski to lfp_unfold,
  9850 gfp_Tarski to gfp_unfold;
  9851 
  9852 * HOL: contrapos, contrapos2 renamed to contrapos_nn, contrapos_pp;
  9853 
  9854 * HOL: infix "dvd" now has priority 50 rather than 70 (because it is a
  9855 relation); infix "^^" has been renamed "``"; infix "``" has been
  9856 renamed "`"; "univalent" has been renamed "single_valued";
  9857 
  9858 * HOL/Real: "rinv" and "hrinv" replaced by overloaded "inverse"
  9859 operation;
  9860 
  9861 * HOLCF: infix "`" has been renamed "$"; the symbol syntax is \<cdot>;
  9862 
  9863 * Isar: 'obtain' no longer declares "that" fact as simp/intro;
  9864 
  9865 * Isar/HOL: method 'induct' now handles non-atomic goals; as a
  9866 consequence, it is no longer monotonic wrt. the local goal context
  9867 (which is now passed through the inductive cases);
  9868 
  9869 * Document preparation: renamed standard symbols \<ll> to \<lless> and
  9870 \<gg> to \<ggreater>;
  9871 
  9872 
  9873 *** Document preparation ***
  9874 
  9875 * \isabellestyle{NAME} selects version of Isabelle output (currently
  9876 available: are "it" for near math-mode best-style output, "sl" for
  9877 slanted text style, and "tt" for plain type-writer; if no
  9878 \isabellestyle command is given, output is according to slanted
  9879 type-writer);
  9880 
  9881 * support sub/super scripts (for single symbols only), input syntax is
  9882 like this: "A\<^sup>*" or "A\<^sup>\<star>";
  9883 
  9884 * some more standard symbols; see Appendix A of the system manual for
  9885 the complete list of symbols defined in isabellesym.sty;
  9886 
  9887 * improved isabelle style files; more abstract symbol implementation
  9888 (should now use \isamath{...} and \isatext{...} in custom symbol
  9889 definitions);
  9890 
  9891 * antiquotation @{goals} and @{subgoals} for output of *dynamic* goals
  9892 state; Note that presentation of goal states does not conform to
  9893 actual human-readable proof documents.  Please do not include goal
  9894 states into document output unless you really know what you are doing!
  9895 
  9896 * proper indentation of antiquoted output with proportional LaTeX
  9897 fonts;
  9898 
  9899 * no_document ML operator temporarily disables LaTeX document
  9900 generation;
  9901 
  9902 * isatool unsymbolize tunes sources for plain ASCII communication;
  9903 
  9904 
  9905 *** Isar ***
  9906 
  9907 * Pure: Isar now suffers initial goal statements to contain unbound
  9908 schematic variables (this does not conform to actual readable proof
  9909 documents, due to unpredictable outcome and non-compositional proof
  9910 checking); users who know what they are doing may use schematic goals
  9911 for Prolog-style synthesis of proven results;
  9912 
  9913 * Pure: assumption method (an implicit finishing) now handles actual
  9914 rules as well;
  9915 
  9916 * Pure: improved 'obtain' --- moved to Pure, insert "that" into
  9917 initial goal, declare "that" only as Pure intro (only for single
  9918 steps); the "that" rule assumption may now be involved in implicit
  9919 finishing, thus ".." becomes a feasible for trivial obtains;
  9920 
  9921 * Pure: default proof step now includes 'intro_classes'; thus trivial
  9922 instance proofs may be performed by "..";
  9923 
  9924 * Pure: ?thesis / ?this / "..." now work for pure meta-level
  9925 statements as well;
  9926 
  9927 * Pure: more robust selection of calculational rules;
  9928 
  9929 * Pure: the builtin notion of 'finished' goal now includes the ==-refl
  9930 rule (as well as the assumption rule);
  9931 
  9932 * Pure: 'thm_deps' command visualizes dependencies of theorems and
  9933 lemmas, using the graph browser tool;
  9934 
  9935 * Pure: predict failure of "show" in interactive mode;
  9936 
  9937 * Pure: 'thms_containing' now takes actual terms as arguments;
  9938 
  9939 * HOL: improved method 'induct' --- now handles non-atomic goals
  9940 (potential INCOMPATIBILITY); tuned error handling;
  9941 
  9942 * HOL: cases and induct rules now provide explicit hints about the
  9943 number of facts to be consumed (0 for "type" and 1 for "set" rules);
  9944 any remaining facts are inserted into the goal verbatim;
  9945 
  9946 * HOL: local contexts (aka cases) may now contain term bindings as
  9947 well; the 'cases' and 'induct' methods new provide a ?case binding for
  9948 the result to be shown in each case;
  9949 
  9950 * HOL: added 'recdef_tc' command;
  9951 
  9952 * isatool convert assists in eliminating legacy ML scripts;
  9953 
  9954 
  9955 *** HOL ***
  9956 
  9957 * HOL/Library: a collection of generic theories to be used together
  9958 with main HOL; the theory loader path already includes this directory
  9959 by default; the following existing theories have been moved here:
  9960 HOL/Induct/Multiset, HOL/Induct/Acc (as Accessible_Part), HOL/While
  9961 (as While_Combinator), HOL/Lex/Prefix (as List_Prefix);
  9962 
  9963 * HOL/Unix: "Some aspects of Unix file-system security", a typical
  9964 modelling and verification task performed in Isabelle/HOL +
  9965 Isabelle/Isar + Isabelle document preparation (by Markus Wenzel).
  9966 
  9967 * HOL/Algebra: special summation operator SUM no longer exists, it has
  9968 been replaced by setsum; infix 'assoc' now has priority 50 (like
  9969 'dvd'); axiom 'one_not_zero' has been moved from axclass 'ring' to
  9970 'domain', this makes the theory consistent with mathematical
  9971 literature;
  9972 
  9973 * HOL basics: added overloaded operations "inverse" and "divide"
  9974 (infix "/"), syntax for generic "abs" operation, generic summation
  9975 operator \<Sum>;
  9976 
  9977 * HOL/typedef: simplified package, provide more useful rules (see also
  9978 HOL/subset.thy);
  9979 
  9980 * HOL/datatype: induction rule for arbitrarily branching datatypes is
  9981 now expressed as a proper nested rule (old-style tactic scripts may
  9982 require atomize_strip_tac to cope with non-atomic premises);
  9983 
  9984 * HOL: renamed theory "Prod" to "Product_Type", renamed "split" rule
  9985 to "split_conv" (old name still available for compatibility);
  9986 
  9987 * HOL: improved concrete syntax for strings (e.g. allows translation
  9988 rules with string literals);
  9989 
  9990 * HOL-Real-Hyperreal: this extends HOL-Real with the hyperreals
  9991  and Fleuriot's mechanization of analysis, including the transcendental
  9992  functions for the reals;
  9993 
  9994 * HOL/Real, HOL/Hyperreal: improved arithmetic simplification;
  9995 
  9996 
  9997 *** CTT ***
  9998 
  9999 * CTT: x-symbol support for Pi, Sigma, -->, : (membership); note that
 10000 "lam" is displayed as TWO lambda-symbols
 10001 
 10002 * CTT: theory Main now available, containing everything (that is, Bool
 10003 and Arith);
 10004 
 10005 
 10006 *** General ***
 10007 
 10008 * Pure: the Simplifier has been implemented properly as a derived rule
 10009 outside of the actual kernel (at last!); the overall performance
 10010 penalty in practical applications is about 50%, while reliability of
 10011 the Isabelle inference kernel has been greatly improved;
 10012 
 10013 * print modes "brackets" and "no_brackets" control output of nested =>
 10014 (types) and ==> (props); the default behaviour is "brackets";
 10015 
 10016 * Provers: fast_tac (and friends) now handle actual object-logic rules
 10017 as assumptions as well;
 10018 
 10019 * system: support Poly/ML 4.0;
 10020 
 10021 * system: isatool install handles KDE version 1 or 2;
 10022

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