Isabelle99-1 is now available.  This release continues the line of
  | 
| 
 | 
     6  | 
Isabelle99, introducing numerous improvements, both internal and user
  | 
| 
 | 
     7  | 
visible.
  | 
| 
 | 
     8  | 
  | 
| 
 | 
     9  | 
In particular, great care has been taken to improve robustness and
  | 
| 
 | 
    10  | 
ease use and installation of the complete Isabelle working
  | 
| 
10165
 | 
    11  | 
environment.  This includes Proof General user interface support, WWW
  | 
| 
10161
 | 
    12  | 
presentation of theories and the Isabelle document preparation system.

The most prominent highlights of Isabelle99-1 are as follows.  See the

  * Isabelle/Isar improvements (Markus Wenzel)
  | 
| 
 | 
    18  | 
      o Support of tactic-emulation scripts for easy porting of legacy ML
  | 
| 
 | 
    19  | 
        scripts (see also the HOL/Lambda example).
  | 
| 
 | 
    20  | 
      o Better support for scalable verification tasks (manage large
  | 
| 
 | 
    21  | 
        contexts in induction, generalized existence reasoning etc.)
  | 
| 
 | 
    22  | 
      o Hindley-Milner polymorphism for proof texts.
  | 
| 
 | 
    23  | 
      o More robust document preparation, better LaTeX output due to
  | 
| 
 | 
    24  | 
        fake math-mode.
  | 
| 
10166
 | 
    25  | 
      o Extended "Isabelle/Isar Reference Manual".
