                       The Isabelle System Distribution

Version information

   This is some unidentified repository version of Isabelle.

   See the NEWS file in the distribution for details on user-relevant
   changes.

Installation

   Isabelle works on the three main platform families: Linux, Windows,
   and Mac OS X.  The application bundles from the Isabelle web page
   include sources, documentation, and add-on tools for all supported
   platforms.

   Some technical background information may be found in the Isabelle
   System Manual (directory doc).

User interfaces

   Isabelle/jEdit is an advanced Prover IDE based on jEdit and
   Isabelle/Scala.  It provides a metaphor of continuous proof
   checking of a versioned collection of theory sources, with
   instantaneous feedback in real-time and rich semantic markup
   associated with the formal text.

   The classic Isabelle user interface is Proof General by David
   Aspinall and others.  It is a generic Emacs interface for proof
   assistants, including Isabelle.  Its main feature is script
   management, with stepwise proof scripting and partial locking of
   the editor buffer.
