Isabelle2007 is finally available.
|
|
|
5 |
|
|
|

This release introduces fundamental changes over Isabelle2005, see the
|
|
|
7 |
NEWS file in the distribution for more details. Numerous existing
|
|
|
8 |
concepts have been generalized and re-implemented based on novel
|
|
|
9 |
system architecture. New theories and proof tools have been added
|
|
|
10 |
(mostly for HOL).
|
|
|
11 |
|
|
|
12 |
The main highlights are:
|
|
17544
|
13 |
|
|
25148
|
14 |
* Support for nominal datatypes (binding structures) due to the
|
|
|
15 |
HOL-Nominal logic.
|
|
24813
|
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
* General local theory infrastructure for specifications depending on
|
|
|
18 |
parameters and assumptions (e.g. from locales, classes).
|
|
|
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
* New basic specification elements 'definition', 'axiomatization',
|
|
|
21 |
'abbreviation', 'notation'.
|
|
24802
|
22 |
|
|
|
23 |
* New version of 'inductive' package for inductive predicates;
|
|
|
24 |
separate variant 'inductive_set'.
|
|
17544
|
25 |
|
|
24813
|
26 |
* New 'function' package for general recursive function definitions.
|
|
17544
|
27 |
|
|
24802
|
28 |
* New 'class' package combination of axclass + locale interpretation.
|
|
12927
|
29 |
|
|
25213
|
30 |
* Built-in Metis prover, external linkup for automated provers, and
|
|
|
31 |
'sledghammer' command for automated proof synthesis.
|
|
|
32 |
|
|
|
33 |
* Full list comprehension syntax.
|
|
|
34 |
|
|
24802
|
35 |
* Various improvements in locale infrastructure (interpretation etc.)
|
|
17544
|
36 |
|
|
24802
|
37 |
* Various improvements of Isar language elements and related proof
|
|
|
38 |
tools.
|
|
|
39 |
|
|
|
40 |
* Second generation code-generator for a subset of HOL, targeting SML,
|
|
|
41 |
Haskell, and OCaml.
|
|
17544
|
42 |
|
|
24802
|
43 |
* Improved support for arbitrary ML operations depending on the
|
|
|
44 |
logical context.
|
|
17544
|
45 |
|
|
24802
|
46 |
* Parallel loading of theories based on native multicore support in
|
|
|
47 |
Poly/ML 5.1.
|
|
12927
|
48 |
|
|
25197
|
49 |
* Improved algebraic capabilities by means of semiring normalization,
|
|
|
50 |
Groebner bases and Ferrante/Rackoff algorithm.
