Isabelle NEWS -- history user-relevant changes
==============================================

New in Isabelle2012 (May 2012)
------------------------------

*** General ***

* Prover IDE (PIDE) improvements:

  - more robust Sledgehammer integration (as before the sledgehammer
    command-line needs to be typed into the source buffer)
  - markup for bound variables
  - markup for types of term variables (displayed as tooltips)
  - support for user-defined Isar commands within the running session
  - improved support for Unicode outside original 16bit range
    e.g. glyph for \<A> (thanks to jEdit 4.5.1)

* Forward declaration of outer syntax keywords within the theory
header -- minor INCOMPATIBILITY for user-defined commands.  Allow new
commands to be used in the same theory where defined.

* Auxiliary contexts indicate block structure for specifications with
additional parameters and assumptions.  Such unnamed contexts may be
nested within other targets, like 'theory', 'locale', 'class',
'instantiation' etc.  Results from the local context are generalized
accordingly and applied to the enclosing target context.  Example:

  context
    fixes x y z :: 'a
    assumes xy: "x = y" and yz: "y = z"
  begin

  lemma my_trans: "x = z" using xy yz by simp

  end

  thm my_trans

The most basic application is to factor-out context elements of
several fixes/assumes/shows theorem statements, e.g. see
~~/src/HOL/Isar_Examples/Group_Context.thy

Any other local theory specification element works within the "context
... begin ... end" block as well.

* Bundled declarations associate attributed fact expressions with a
given name in the context.  These may be later included in other
contexts.  This allows to manage context extensions casually, without
the logical dependencies of locales and locale interpretation.  See
commands 'bundle', 'include', 'including' etc. in the isar-ref manual.

* Commands 'lemmas' and 'theorems' allow local variables using 'for'
declaration, and results are standardized before being stored.  Thus
old-style "standard" after instantiation or composition of facts
becomes obsolete.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, due to potential change of
indices of schematic variables.

* Rule attributes in local theory declarations (e.g. locale or class)
are now statically evaluated: the resulting theorem is stored instead
of the original expression.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
the historic accident of dynamic re-evaluation in interpretations
etc. was exploited.

* New tutorial "Programming and Proving in Isabelle/HOL"
("prog-prove").  It completely supersedes "A Tutorial Introduction to
Structured Isar Proofs" ("isar-overview"), which has been removed.  It
also supersedes "Isabelle/HOL, A Proof Assistant for Higher-Order
Logic" as the recommended beginners tutorial, but does not cover all
of the material of that old tutorial.

* Updated and extended reference manuals: "isar-ref",
"implementation", "system"; reduced remaining material in old "ref"
manual.


*** Pure ***

* Command 'definition' no longer exports the foundational "raw_def"
into the user context.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, may use the regular
"def" result with attribute "abs_def" to imitate the old version.

* Attribute "abs_def" turns an equation of the form "f x y == t" into
"f == %x y. t", which ensures that "simp" or "unfold" steps always
expand it.  This also works for object-logic equality.  (Formerly
undocumented feature.)

* Sort constraints are now propagated in simultaneous statements, just
like type constraints.  INCOMPATIBILITY in rare situations, where
distinct sorts used to be assigned accidentally.  For example:

  lemma "P (x::'a::foo)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"  -- "now illegal"

  lemma "P (x::'a)" and "Q (y::'a::bar)"
    -- "now uniform 'a::bar instead of default sort for first occurrence (!)"

* Rule composition via attribute "OF" (or ML functions OF/MRS) is more
tolerant against multiple unifiers, as long as the final result is
unique.  (As before, rules are composed in canonical right-to-left
order to accommodate newly introduced premises.)

* Renamed some inner syntax categories:

    num ~> num_token
    xnum ~> xnum_token
    xstr ~> str_token

Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.  Note that in practice "num_const" or
"num_position" etc. are mainly used instead (which also include
position information via constraints).

* Simplified configuration options for syntax ambiguity: see
"syntax_ambiguity_warning" and "syntax_ambiguity_limit" in isar-ref
manual.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Discontinued configuration option "syntax_positions": atomic terms
in parse trees are always annotated by position constraints.

* Old code generator for SML and its commands 'code_module',
'code_library', 'consts_code', 'types_code' have been discontinued.
Use commands of the generic code generator instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Redundant attribute "code_inline" has been discontinued. Use
"code_unfold" instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Dropped attribute "code_unfold_post" in favor of the its dual
"code_abbrev", which yields a common pattern in definitions like

  definition [code_abbrev]: "f = t"

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Obsolete 'types' command has been discontinued.  Use 'type_synonym'
instead.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Discontinued old "prems" fact, which used to refer to the accidental
collection of foundational premises in the context (already marked as
legacy since Isabelle2011).


*** HOL ***

* Type 'a set is now a proper type constructor (just as before
Isabelle2008).  Definitions mem_def and Collect_def have disappeared.
Non-trivial INCOMPATIBILITY.  For developments keeping predicates and
sets separate, it is often sufficient to rephrase some set S that has
been accidentally used as predicates by "%x. x : S", and some
predicate P that has been accidentally used as set by "{x. P x}".
Corresponding proofs in a first step should be pruned from any
tinkering with former theorems mem_def and Collect_def as far as
possible.

For developments which deliberately mix predicates and sets, a
planning step is necessary to determine what should become a predicate
and what a set.  It can be helpful to carry out that step in
Isabelle2011-1 before jumping right into the current release.

* Code generation by default implements sets as container type rather
than predicates.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* New type synonym 'a rel = ('a * 'a) set

* The representation of numerals has changed.  Datatype "num"
represents strictly positive binary numerals, along with functions
"numeral :: num => 'a" and "neg_numeral :: num => 'a" to represent
positive and negated numeric literals, respectively.  See also
definitions in ~~/src/HOL/Num.thy.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, some
user theories may require adaptations as follows:

  - Theorems with number_ring or number_semiring constraints: These
    classes are gone; use comm_ring_1 or comm_semiring_1 instead.

  - Theories defining numeric types: Remove number, number_semiring,
    and number_ring instances. Defer all theorems about numerals until
    after classes one and semigroup_add have been instantiated.

  - Numeral-only simp rules: Replace each rule having a "number_of v"
    pattern with two copies, one for numeral and one for neg_numeral.

  - Theorems about subclasses of semiring_1 or ring_1: These classes
    automatically support numerals now, so more simp rules and
    simprocs may now apply within the proof.

  - Definitions and theorems using old constructors Pls/Min/Bit0/Bit1:
    Redefine using other integer operations.

* Transfer: New package intended to generalize the existing
"descending" method and related theorem attributes from the Quotient
package.  (Not all functionality is implemented yet, but future
development will focus on Transfer as an eventual replacement for the
corresponding parts of the Quotient package.)

  - transfer_rule attribute: Maintains a collection of transfer rules,
    which relate constants at two different types. Transfer rules may
    relate different type instances of the same polymorphic constant,
    or they may relate an operation on a raw type to a corresponding
    operation on an abstract type (quotient or subtype). For example:

    ((A ===> B) ===> list_all2 A ===> list_all2 B) map map
    (cr_int ===> cr_int ===> cr_int) (%(x,y) (u,v). (x+u, y+v)) plus_int

  - transfer method: Replaces a subgoal on abstract types with an
    equivalent subgoal on the corresponding raw types. Constants are
    replaced with corresponding ones according to the transfer rules.
    Goals are generalized over all free variables by default; this is
    necessary for variables whose types change, but can be overridden
    for specific variables with e.g. "transfer fixing: x y z".  The
    variant transfer' method allows replacing a subgoal with one that
    is logically stronger (rather than equivalent).

  - relator_eq attribute: Collects identity laws for relators of
    various type constructors, e.g. "list_all2 (op =) = (op =)".  The
    transfer method uses these lemmas to infer transfer rules for
    non-polymorphic constants on the fly.

  - transfer_prover method: Assists with proving a transfer rule for a
    new constant, provided the constant is defined in terms of other
    constants that already have transfer rules. It should be applied
    after unfolding the constant definitions.

  - HOL/ex/Transfer_Int_Nat.thy: Example theory demonstrating transfer
    from type nat to type int.

* Lifting: New package intended to generalize the quotient_definition
facility of the Quotient package; designed to work with Transfer.

  - lift_definition command: Defines operations on an abstract type in
    terms of a corresponding operation on a representation
    type.  Example syntax:

    lift_definition dlist_insert :: "'a => 'a dlist => 'a dlist"
      is List.insert

    Users must discharge a respectfulness proof obligation when each
    constant is defined. (For a type copy, i.e. a typedef with UNIV,
    the proof is discharged automatically.) The obligation is
    presented in a user-friendly, readable form; a respectfulness
    theorem in the standard format and a transfer rule are generated
    by the package.

  - Integration with code_abstype: For typedefs (e.g. subtypes
    corresponding to a datatype invariant, such as dlist),
    lift_definition generates a code certificate theorem and sets up
    code generation for each constant.

  - setup_lifting command: Sets up the Lifting package to work with a
    user-defined type. The user must provide either a quotient theorem
    or a type_definition theorem.  The package configures transfer
    rules for equality and quantifiers on the type, and sets up the
    lift_definition command to work with the type.

  - Usage examples: See Quotient_Examples/Lift_DList.thy,
    Quotient_Examples/Lift_RBT.thy, Quotient_Examples/Lift_FSet.thy,
    Word/Word.thy and Library/Float.thy.

* Quotient package:

  - The 'quotient_type' command now supports a 'morphisms' option with
    rep and abs functions, similar to typedef.

  - 'quotient_type' sets up new types to work with the Lifting and
    Transfer packages, as with 'setup_lifting'.

  - The 'quotient_definition' command now requires the user to prove a
    respectfulness property at the point where the constant is
    defined, similar to lift_definition; INCOMPATIBILITY.

  - Renamed predicate 'Quotient' to 'Quotient3', and renamed theorems
    accordingly, INCOMPATIBILITY.

* New diagnostic command 'find_unused_assms' to find potentially
superfluous assumptions in theorems using Quickcheck.

* Quickcheck:

  - Quickcheck returns variable assignments as counterexamples, which
    allows to reveal the underspecification of functions under test.
    For example, refuting "hd xs = x", it presents the variable
    assignment xs = [] and x = a1 as a counterexample, assuming that
    any property is false whenever "hd []" occurs in it.

    These counterexample are marked as potentially spurious, as
    Quickcheck also returns "xs = []" as a counterexample to the
    obvious theorem "hd xs = hd xs".

    After finding a potentially spurious counterexample, Quickcheck
    continues searching for genuine ones.

    By default, Quickcheck shows potentially spurious and genuine
    counterexamples. The option "genuine_only" sets quickcheck to only
    show genuine counterexamples.

  - The command 'quickcheck_generator' creates random and exhaustive
    value generators for a given type and operations.

    It generates values by using the operations as if they were
    constructors of that type.

  - Support for multisets.

  - Added "use_subtype" options.

  - Added "quickcheck_locale" configuration to specify how to process
    conjectures in a locale context.

* Nitpick: Fixed infinite loop caused by the 'peephole_optim' option
and affecting 'rat' and 'real'.

* Sledgehammer:
  - Integrated more tightly with SPASS, as described in the ITP 2012
    paper "More SPASS with Isabelle".
  - Made it try "smt" as a fallback if "metis" fails or times out.
  - Added support for the following provers: Alt-Ergo (via Why3 and
    TFF1), iProver, iProver-Eq.
  - Replaced remote E-SInE with remote Satallax in the default setup.
  - Sped up the minimizer.
  - Added "lam_trans", "uncurry_aliases", and "minimize" options.
  - Renamed "slicing" ("no_slicing") option to "slice" ("dont_slice").
  - Renamed "sound" option to "strict".

* Metis: Added possibility to specify lambda translations scheme as a
parenthesized argument (e.g., "by (metis (lifting) ...)").

* SMT: Renamed "smt_fixed" option to "smt_read_only_certificates".

* Command 'try0': Renamed from 'try_methods'. INCOMPATIBILITY.

* New "case_product" attribute to generate a case rule doing multiple
case distinctions at the same time.  E.g.

  list.exhaust [case_product nat.exhaust]

produces a rule which can be used to perform case distinction on both
a list and a nat.

* New "eventually_elim" method as a generalized variant of the
eventually_elim* rules.  Supports structured proofs.

* Typedef with implicit set definition is considered legacy.  Use
"typedef (open)" form instead, which will eventually become the
default.

* Record: code generation can be switched off manually with

  declare [[record_coden = false]]  -- "default true"

* Datatype: type parameters allow explicit sort constraints.

* Concrete syntax for case expressions includes constraints for source
positions, and thus produces Prover IDE markup for its bindings.
INCOMPATIBILITY for old-style syntax translations that augment the
pattern notation; e.g. see src/HOL/HOLCF/One.thy for translations of
one_case.

* Clarified attribute "mono_set": pure declaration without modifying
the result of the fact expression.

* More default pred/set conversions on a couple of relation operations
and predicates.  Added powers of predicate relations.  Consolidation
of some relation theorems:

  converse_def ~> converse_unfold
  rel_comp_def ~> relcomp_unfold
  symp_def ~> (modified, use symp_def and sym_def instead)
  transp_def ~> transp_trans
  Domain_def ~> Domain_unfold
  Range_def ~> Domain_converse [symmetric]

Generalized theorems INF_INT_eq, INF_INT_eq2, SUP_UN_eq, SUP_UN_eq2.

See theory "Relation" for examples for making use of pred/set
conversions by means of attributes "to_set" and "to_pred".

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Renamed facts about the power operation on relations, i.e., relpow
to match the constant's name:

  rel_pow_1 ~> relpow_1
  rel_pow_0_I ~> relpow_0_I
  rel_pow_Suc_I ~> relpow_Suc_I

  trancl_finite_eq_rel_pow ~> trancl_finite_eq_relpow
  single_valued_rel_pow ~> single_valued_relpow

    converse_pred_comp ~> converse_relcompp

    finite_rel_comp ~> finite_relcomp

    set_rel_comp ~> set_relcomp

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Divides: Discontinued redundant theorems about div and mod.
INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.

  DIVISION_BY_ZERO ~> div_by_0, mod_by_0
  zdiv_self ~> div_self
  zmod_self ~> mod_self

  zdvd_zmod_imp_zdvd ~> dvd_mod_imp_dvd
  mod_mult_distrib ~> mult_mod_left
  mod_mult_distrib2 ~> mult_mod_right

* Removed redundant theorems nat_mult_2 and nat_mult_2_right; use
generic mult_2 and mult_2_right instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Finite_Set.fold now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Consolidated theorem names concerning fold combinators:

  inf_INFI_fold_inf ~> inf_INF_fold_inf
  sup_SUPR_fold_sup ~> sup_SUP_fold_sup

  foldr_foldr ~> foldr_conv_foldl
  foldl_foldr ~> foldl_conv_foldr
  fold_set_remdups ~> fold_set_fold_remdups
  fold_set ~> fold_set_fold
  fold1_set ~> fold1_set_fold

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Dropped rarely useful theorems concerning fold combinators:
foldl_apply, foldl_fun_comm, foldl_rev, fold_weak_invariant,
rev_foldl_cons, fold_set_remdups, fold_set, fold_set1,
concat_conv_foldl, foldl_weak_invariant, foldl_invariant,
foldr_invariant, foldl_absorb0, foldl_foldr1_lemma, foldl_foldr1,
listsum_conv_fold, listsum_foldl, sort_foldl_insort, foldl_assoc,
foldr_conv_foldl, start_le_sum, elem_le_sum, sum_eq_0_conv.
INCOMPATIBILITY.  For the common phrases "%xs. List.foldr plus xs 0"
and "List.foldl plus 0", prefer "List.listsum".  Otherwise it can be
useful to boil down "List.foldr" and "List.foldl" to "List.fold" by
unfolding "foldr_conv_fold" and "foldl_conv_fold".

* Dropped lemmas minus_set_foldr, union_set_foldr, union_coset_foldr,
inter_coset_foldr, Inf_fin_set_foldr, Sup_fin_set_foldr,
Min_fin_set_foldr, Max_fin_set_foldr, Inf_set_foldr, Sup_set_foldr,
INF_set_foldr, SUP_set_foldr.  INCOMPATIBILITY.  Prefer corresponding
lemmas over fold rather than foldr, or make use of lemmas
fold_conv_foldr and fold_rev.

* Congruence rules Option.map_cong and Option.bind_cong for recursion
through option types.

* "Transitive_Closure.ntrancl": bounded transitive closure on
relations.

* Constant "Set.not_member" now qualified.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Int: Discontinued many legacy theorems specific to type int.
INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems instead.

* Theory Deriv: Renamed

  DERIV_nonneg_imp_nonincreasing ~> DERIV_nonneg_imp_nondecreasing

* Theory Library/Multiset: Improved code generation of multisets.

* Theory HOL/Library/Set_Algebras: Addition and multiplication on sets
are expressed via type classes again. The special syntax
\<oplus>/\<otimes> has been replaced by plain +/*. Removed constant
setsum_set, which is now subsumed by Big_Operators.setsum.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory HOL/Library/Diagonalize has been removed. INCOMPATIBILITY,
use theory HOL/Library/Nat_Bijection instead.

* Theory HOL/Library/RBT_Impl: Backing implementation of red-black
trees is now inside a type class context.  Names of affected

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

  Changed Operations:
  float_abs -> abs
  float_nprt -> nprt
  float_pprt -> pprt
  pow2 -> use powr
  round_down -> float_round_down
  round_up -> float_round_up
  scale -> exponent

  Removed Operations:

  Renamed Lemmas:

* New theory HOL/Library/DAList provides an abstract type for
association lists with distinct keys.

* Session HOL-Import: Re-implementation from scratch is faster,
simpler, and more scalable.  Requires a proof bundle, which is
available as an external component.  Discontinued old (and mostly
dead) Importer for HOL4 and HOL Light.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Session HOL-Word: Discontinued many redundant theorems specific to
type 'a word. INCOMPATIBILITY, use the corresponding generic theorems
instead.

* Session HOL-Word: New proof method "word_bitwise" for splitting
machine word equalities and inequalities into logical circuits,
defined in HOL/Word/WordBitwise.thy.  Supports addition, subtraction,
multiplication, shifting by constants, bitwise operators and numeric
constants.  Requires fixed-length word types, not 'a word.  Solves
many standard word identities outright and converts more into first
order problems amenable to blast or similar.  See also examples in
HOL/Word/Examples/WordExamples.thy.

* Session HOL-Probability: Introduced the type "'a measure" to
represent measures, this replaces the records 'a algebra and 'a
measure_space.  The locales based on subset_class now have two
locale-parameters the space \<Omega> and the set of measurable sets M.
The product of probability spaces uses now the same constant as the
finite product of sigma-finite measure spaces "PiM :: ('i => 'a)
measure".  Most constants are defined now outside of locales and gain
an additional parameter, like null_sets, almost_eventually or \<mu>'.
Measure space constructions for distributions and densities now got
their own constants distr and density.  Instead of using locales to
describe measure spaces with a finite space, the measure count_space
and point_measure is introduced.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

  Renamed constants:
  measure -> emeasure
  finite_measure.\<mu>' -> measure
  product_algebra_generator -> prod_algebra
  product_prob_space.emb -> prod_emb
  product_prob_space.infprod_algebra -> PiM

  Removed locales:
  completeable_measure_space
  finite_measure_space
  finite_prob_space
  finite_product_finite_prob_space
  finite_product_sigma_algebra
  finite_sigma_algebra
  measure_space
  pair_finite_prob_space
  pair_finite_sigma_algebra
  pair_finite_space
  pair_sigma_algebra
  product_sigma_algebra

  Removed constants:
  conditional_space
  distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  image_space
  joint_distribution -> use distr measure, or distributed predicate
  pair_measure_generator
  product_prob_space.infprod_algebra -> use PiM

* Session HOL-TPTP: support to parse and import TPTP problems (all
languages) into Isabelle/HOL.


*** FOL ***

* New "case_product" attribute (see HOL).


*** ZF ***

* Greater support for structured proofs involving induction or case
analysis.

* Much greater use of mathematical symbols.

* Removal of many ML theorem bindings.  INCOMPATIBILITY.


*** ML ***

* Antiquotation @{keyword "name"} produces a parser for outer syntax
from a minor keyword introduced via theory header declaration.

* Antiquotation @{command_spec "name"} produces the
Outer_Syntax.command_spec from a major keyword introduced via theory
header declaration; it can be passed to Outer_Syntax.command etc.

* Local_Theory.define no longer hard-wires default theorem name
"foo_def", but retains the binding as given.  If that is Binding.empty
/ Attrib.empty_binding, the result is not registered as user-level
fact.  The Local_Theory.define_internal variant allows to specify a
non-empty name (used for the foundation in the background theory),
while omitting the fact binding in the user-context.  Potential
INCOMPATIBILITY for derived definitional packages: need to specify
naming policy for primitive definitions more explicitly.

* Renamed Thm.capply to Thm.apply, and Thm.cabs to Thm.lambda in
conformance with similar operations in structure Term and Logic.

* Antiquotation @{attributes [...]} embeds attribute source
representation into the ML text, which is particularly useful with
declarations like Local_Theory.note.

* Structure Proof_Context follows standard naming scheme.  Old
ProofContext has been discontinued.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Refined Local_Theory.declaration {syntax, pervasive}, with subtle
change of semantics: update is applied to auxiliary local theory
context as well.

* Modernized some old-style infix operations:

  addeqcongs    ~> Simplifier.add_eqcong
  deleqcongs    ~> Simplifier.del_eqcong
  addcongs      ~> Simplifier.add_cong
  delcongs      ~> Simplifier.del_cong
  setmksimps    ~> Simplifier.set_mksimps
  setmkcong     ~> Simplifier.set_mkcong
  setmksym      ~> Simplifier.set_mksym
  setmkeqTrue   ~> Simplifier.set_mkeqTrue
  settermless   ~> Simplifier.set_termless
  setsubgoaler  ~> Simplifier.set_subgoaler
  addsplits     ~> Splitter.add_split
  delsplits     ~> Splitter.del_split


*** System ***

* USER_HOME settings variable points to cross-platform user home
directory, which coincides with HOME on POSIX systems only.  Likewise,
the Isabelle path specification "~" now expands to $USER_HOME, instead
of former $HOME.  A different default for USER_HOME may be set
explicitly in shell environment, before Isabelle settings are
evaluated.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: need to adapt Isabelle path where
the generic user home was intended.

* ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS refers to ISABELLE_HOME in windows file name
notation, which is useful for the jEdit file browser, for example.

* ISABELLE_JDK_HOME settings variable points to JDK with javac and jar
(not just JRE).



New in Isabelle2011-1 (October 2011)
------------------------------------

*** General ***

* Improved Isabelle/jEdit Prover IDE (PIDE), which can be invoked as
"isabelle jedit" or "ISABELLE_HOME/Isabelle" on the command line.

  - Management of multiple theory files directly from the editor
    buffer store -- bypassing the file-system (no requirement to save
    files for checking).

  - Markup of formal entities within the text buffer, with semantic
    highlighting, tooltips and hyperlinks to jump to defining source
    positions.

  - Improved text rendering, with sub/superscripts in the source
    buffer (including support for copy/paste wrt. output panel, HTML
    theory output and other non-Isabelle text boxes).

  - Refined scheduling of proof checking and printing of results,
    based on interactive editor view.  (Note: jEdit folding and
    narrowing allows to restrict buffer perspectives explicitly.)

  - Reduced CPU performance requirements, usable on machines with few
    cores.

  - Reduced memory requirements due to pruning of unused document
    versions (garbage collection).

See also ~~/src/Tools/jEdit/README.html for further information,
including some remaining limitations.

* Theory loader: source files are exclusively located via the master
directory of each theory node (where the .thy file itself resides).
The global load path (such as src/HOL/Library) has been discontinued.
Note that the path element ~~ may be used to reference theories in the
Isabelle home folder -- for instance, "~~/src/HOL/Library/FuncSet".
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory loader: source files are identified by content via SHA1
digests.  Discontinued former path/modtime identification and optional
ISABELLE_FILE_IDENT plugin scripts.

* Parallelization of nested Isar proofs is subject to
Goal.parallel_proofs_threshold (default 100).  See also isabelle
usedir option -Q.

* Name space: former unsynchronized references are now proper
configuration options, with more conventional names:

  long_names   ~> names_long
  short_names  ~> names_short
  unique_names ~> names_unique

Minor INCOMPATIBILITY, need to declare options in context like this:

  declare [[names_unique = false]]

* Literal facts `prop` may contain dummy patterns, e.g. `_ = _`.  Note
that the result needs to be unique, which means fact specifications
may have to be refined after enriching a proof context.

* Attribute "case_names" has been refined: the assumptions in each case
can be named now by following the case name with [name1 name2 ...].

* Isabelle/Isar reference manual has been updated and extended:
  - "Synopsis" provides a catalog of main Isar language concepts.
  - Formal references in syntax diagrams, via @{rail} antiquotation.
  - Updated material from classic "ref" manual, notably about
    "Classical Reasoner".


*** HOL ***

* Class bot and top require underlying partial order rather than
preorder: uniqueness of bot and top is guaranteed.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Class complete_lattice: generalized a couple of lemmas from sets;
generalized theorems INF_cong and SUP_cong.  New type classes for
complete boolean algebras and complete linear orders.  Lemmas
Inf_less_iff, less_Sup_iff, INF_less_iff, less_SUP_iff now reside in
class complete_linorder.

Changed proposition of lemmas Inf_bool_def, Sup_bool_def, Inf_fun_def,
Sup_fun_def, Inf_apply, Sup_apply.

Removed redundant lemmas (the right hand side gives hints how to
replace them for (metis ...), or (simp only: ...) proofs):

  Inf_singleton ~> Inf_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Inf_empty inf_top_right]
  Sup_singleton ~> Sup_insert [where A="{}", unfolded Sup_empty sup_bot_right]
  Inf_binary ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  Sup_binary ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  Int_eq_Inter ~> Inf_insert, Inf_empty, and inf_top_right
  Un_eq_Union ~> Sup_insert, Sup_empty, and sup_bot_right
  Inter_def ~> INF_def, image_def
  Union_def ~> SUP_def, image_def
  INT_eq ~> INF_def, and image_def
  UN_eq ~> SUP_def, and image_def
  INF_subset ~> INF_superset_mono [OF _ order_refl]

More consistent and comprehensive names:

  INTER_eq_Inter_image ~> INF_def
  UNION_eq_Union_image ~> SUP_def
  INFI_def ~> INF_def
  SUPR_def ~> SUP_def
  INF_leI ~> INF_lower
  INF_leI2 ~> INF_lower2
  le_INFI ~> INF_greatest
  le_SUPI ~> SUP_upper
  le_SUPI2 ~> SUP_upper2
  SUP_leI ~> SUP_least
  INFI_bool_eq ~> INF_bool_eq
  SUPR_bool_eq ~> SUP_bool_eq
  INFI_apply ~> INF_apply
  SUPR_apply ~> SUP_apply
  INTER_def ~> INTER_eq
  UNION_def ~> UNION_eq

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Renamed theory Complete_Lattice to Complete_Lattices.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Complete_Lattices: lemmas Inf_eq_top_iff, INF_eq_top_iff,
INF_image, Inf_insert, INF_top, Inf_top_conv, INF_top_conv, SUP_bot,
Sup_bot_conv, SUP_bot_conv, Sup_eq_top_iff, SUP_eq_top_iff, SUP_image,
Sup_insert are now declared as [simp].  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Lattice: lemmas compl_inf_bot, compl_le_comp_iff,
compl_sup_top, inf_idem, inf_left_idem, inf_sup_absorb, sup_idem,
sup_inf_absob, sup_left_idem are now declared as [simp].  Minor
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Added syntactic classes "inf" and "sup" for the respective
constants.  INCOMPATIBILITY: Changes in the argument order of the
(mostly internal) locale predicates for some derived classes.

* Theorem collections ball_simps and bex_simps do not contain theorems
referring to UNION any longer; these have been moved to collection
UN_ball_bex_simps.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Archimedean_Field: floor now is defined as parameter of a
separate type class floor_ceiling.

* Theory Finite_Set: more coherent development of fold_set locales:

    locale fun_left_comm ~> locale comp_fun_commute
    locale fun_left_comm_idem ~> locale comp_fun_idem

Both use point-free characterization; interpretation proofs may need
adjustment.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Limits: Type "'a net" has been renamed to "'a filter", in
accordance with standard mathematical terminology. INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Complex_Main: The locale interpretations for the
bounded_linear and bounded_bilinear locales have been removed, in
order to reduce the number of duplicate lemmas. Users must use the
original names for distributivity theorems, potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Complex_Main: The definition of infinite series was
generalized.  Now it is defined on the type class {topological_space,
comm_monoid_add}.  Hence it is useable also for extended real numbers.

* Theory Complex_Main: The complex exponential function "expi" is now
a type-constrained abbreviation for "exp :: complex => complex"; thus
several polymorphic lemmas about "exp" are now applicable to "expi".

* Code generation:

  - Theory Library/Code_Char_ord provides native ordering of
    characters in the target language.

  - Commands code_module and code_library are legacy, use export_code
    instead.

  - Method "evaluation" is legacy, use method "eval" instead.

  - Legacy evaluator "SML" is deactivated by default.  May be
    reactivated by the following theory command:

      setup {* Value.add_evaluator ("SML", Codegen.eval_term) *}

* Declare ext [intro] by default.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY.

* New proof method "induction" that gives induction hypotheses the
name "IH", thus distinguishing them from further hypotheses that come
from rule induction.  The latter are still called "hyps".  Method
"induction" is a thin wrapper around "induct" and follows the same
syntax.

* Method "fastsimp" has been renamed to "fastforce", but "fastsimp" is
still available as a legacy feature for some time.

* Nitpick:
  - Added "need" and "total_consts" options.
  - Reintroduced "show_skolems" option by popular demand.
  - Renamed attribute: nitpick_def ~> nitpick_unfold.
    INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Sledgehammer:
  - Use quasi-sound (and efficient) translations by default.
  - Added support for the following provers: E-ToFoF, LEO-II,
    Satallax, SNARK, Waldmeister, and Z3 with TPTP syntax.
  - Automatically preplay and minimize proofs before showing them if
    this can be done within reasonable time.
  - sledgehammer available_provers ~> sledgehammer supported_provers.
    INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - Added "preplay_timeout", "slicing", "type_enc", "sound",
    "max_mono_iters", and "max_new_mono_instances" options.
  - Removed "explicit_apply" and "full_types" options as well as "Full
    Types" Proof General menu item. INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Metis:
  - Removed "metisF" -- use "metis" instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - Obsoleted "metisFT" -- use "metis (full_types)" instead.
    INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Command 'try':
  - Renamed 'try_methods' and added "simp:", "intro:", "dest:", and
    "elim:" options. INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - Introduced 'try' that not only runs 'try_methods' but also
    'solve_direct', 'sledgehammer', 'quickcheck', and 'nitpick'.

* Quickcheck:
  - Added "eval" option to evaluate terms for the found counterexample
    (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  - Added post-processing of terms to obtain readable counterexamples
    (currently only supported by the default (exhaustive) tester).
  - New counterexample generator quickcheck[narrowing] enables
    narrowing-based testing.  Requires the Glasgow Haskell compiler
    with its installation location defined in the Isabelle settings
    environment as ISABELLE_GHC.
  - Removed quickcheck tester "SML" based on the SML code generator
    (formly in HOL/Library).

* Function package: discontinued option "tailrec".  INCOMPATIBILITY,
use 'partial_function' instead.

* Theory Library/Extended_Reals replaces now the positive extended
reals found in probability theory. This file is extended by
Multivariate_Analysis/Extended_Real_Limits.

* Theory Library/Old_Recdef: old 'recdef' package has been moved here,
from where it must be imported explicitly if it is really required.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Library/Wfrec: well-founded recursion combinator "wfrec" has
been moved here.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Library/Saturated provides type of numbers with saturated
arithmetic.
