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

New in Isabelle2014 (August 2014)
---------------------------------

*** General ***

* Support for official Standard ML within the Isabelle context.
Command 'SML_file' reads and evaluates the given Standard ML file.
Toplevel bindings are stored within the theory context; the initial
environment is restricted to the Standard ML implementation of
Poly/ML, without the add-ons of Isabelle/ML.  Commands 'SML_import'
and 'SML_export' allow to exchange toplevel bindings between the two
separate environments.  See also ~~/src/Tools/SML/Examples.thy for
some examples.

* Standard tactics and proof methods such as "clarsimp", "auto" and
"safe" now preserve equality hypotheses "x = expr" where x is a free
variable.  Locale assumptions and chained facts containing "x"
continue to be useful.  The new method "hypsubst_thin" and the
configuration option "hypsubst_thin" (within the attribute name space)
restore the previous behavior.  INCOMPATIBILITY, especially where
induction is done after these methods or when the names of free and
bound variables clash.  As first approximation, old proofs may be
repaired by "using [[hypsubst_thin = true]]" in the critical spot.

* More static checking of proof methods, which allows the system to
form a closure over the concrete syntax.  Method arguments should be
processed in the original proof context as far as possible, before
operating on the goal state.  In any case, the standard discipline for
subgoal-addressing needs to be observed: no subgoals or a subgoal
number that is out of range produces an empty result sequence, not an
exception.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY for non-conformant tactical
proof tools.

* Lexical syntax (inner and outer) supports text cartouches with
arbitrary nesting, and without escapes of quotes etc.  The Prover IDE
supports input via ` (backquote).

* The outer syntax categories "text" (for formal comments and document
markup commands) and "altstring" (for literal fact references) allow
cartouches as well, in addition to the traditional mix of quotations.

* Syntax of document antiquotation @{rail} now uses \<newline> instead
of "\\", to avoid the optical illusion of escaped backslash within
string token.  General renovation of its syntax using text cartouches.
Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Discontinued legacy_isub_isup, which was a temporary workaround for
Isabelle/ML in Isabelle2013-1.  The prover process no longer accepts
old identifier syntax with \<^isub> or \<^isup>.  Potential
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Document antiquotation @{url} produces markup for the given URL,
which results in an active hyperlink within the text.

* Document antiquotation @{file_unchecked} is like @{file}, but does
not check existence within the file-system.

* Updated and extended manuals: codegen, datatypes, implementation,
isar-ref, jedit, system.


*** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***

* Improved Document panel: simplied interaction where every single
mouse click (re)opens document via desktop environment or as jEdit
buffer.

* Support for Navigator plugin (with toolbar buttons), with connection
to PIDE hyperlinks.

* Auxiliary files ('ML_file' etc.) are managed by the Prover IDE.
Open text buffers take precedence over copies within the file-system.

* Improved support for Isabelle/ML, with jEdit mode "isabelle-ml" for
auxiliary ML files.

* Improved syntactic and semantic completion mechanism, with simple
templates, completion language context, name-space completion,
file-name completion, spell-checker completion.

* Refined GUI popup for completion: more robust key/mouse event
handling and propagation to enclosing text area -- avoid loosing
keystrokes with slow / remote graphics displays.

* Refined insertion of completion items wrt. jEdit text: multiple
selections, rectangular selections, rectangular selection as "tall
caret".

* Integrated spell-checker for document text, comments etc. with
completion popup and context-menu.

* More general "Query" panel supersedes "Find" panel, with GUI access
to commands 'find_theorems' and 'find_consts', as well as print
operations for the context.  Minor incompatibility in keyboard
shortcuts etc.: replace action isabelle-find by isabelle-query.

* Search field for all output panels ("Output", "Query", "Info" etc.)
to highlight text via regular expression.

* Option "jedit_print_mode" (see also "Plugin Options / Isabelle /
General") allows to specify additional print modes for the prover
process, without requiring old-fashioned command-line invocation of
"isabelle jedit -m MODE".

* More support for remote files (e.g. http) using standard Java
networking operations instead of jEdit virtual file-systems.

* Improved Console/Scala plugin: more uniform scala.Console output,
more robust treatment of threads and interrupts.

* Improved management of dockable windows: clarified keyboard focus
and window placement wrt. main editor view; optional menu item to
"Detach" a copy where this makes sense.

* New Simplifier Trace panel provides an interactive view of the
simplification process, enabled by the "simp_trace_new" attribute
within the context.


*** Pure ***

* Low-level type-class commands 'classes', 'classrel', 'arities' have
been discontinued to avoid the danger of non-trivial axiomatization
that is not immediately visible.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use regular
'instance' command with proof.  The required OFCLASS(...) theorem
might be postulated via 'axiomatization' beforehand, or the proof
finished trivially if the underlying class definition is made vacuous
(without any assumptions).  See also Isabelle/ML operations
Axclass.class_axiomatization, Axclass.classrel_axiomatization,
Axclass.arity_axiomatization.

* Basic constants of Pure use more conventional names and are always
qualified.  Rare INCOMPATIBILITY, but with potentially serious
consequences, notably for tools in Isabelle/ML.  The following
renaming needs to be applied:

  ==             ~>  Pure.eq
  ==>            ~>  Pure.imp
  all            ~>  Pure.all
  TYPE           ~>  Pure.type
  dummy_pattern  ~>  Pure.dummy_pattern

Systematic porting works by using the following theory setup on a
*previous* Isabelle version to introduce the new name accesses for the
old constants:

setup {*
  fn thy => thy
    |> Sign.root_path
    |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding eq}) "=="
    |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding imp}) "==>"
    |> Sign.const_alias (Binding.qualify true "Pure" @{binding all}) "all"
    |> Sign.restore_naming thy
*}

Thus ML antiquotations like @{const_name Pure.eq} may be used already.
Later the application is moved to the current Isabelle version, and
the auxiliary aliases are deleted.

* Attributes "where" and "of" allow an optional context of local
variables ('for' declaration): these variables become schematic in the
instantiated theorem.

* Obsolete attribute "standard" has been discontinued (legacy since
Isabelle2012).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, use explicit 'for' context
where instantiations with schematic variables are intended (for
declaration commands like 'lemmas' or attributes like "of").  The
following temporary definition may help to port old applications:

  attribute_setup standard =
    "Scan.succeed (Thm.rule_attribute (K Drule.export_without_context))"

* More thorough check of proof context for goal statements and
attributed fact expressions (concerning background theory, declared
hyps).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY, tools need to observe standard
context discipline.  See also Assumption.add_assumes and the more
primitive Thm.assume_hyps.

* Inner syntax token language allows regular quoted strings "..."
(only makes sense in practice, if outer syntax is delimited
differently, e.g. via cartouches).

* Command 'print_term_bindings' supersedes 'print_binds' for clarity,
but the latter is retained some time as Proof General legacy.

* Code generator preprocessor: explicit control of simp tracing on a
per-constant basis.  See attribute "code_preproc".


*** HOL ***

* Code generator: enforce case of identifiers only for strict target
language requirements.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Code generator: explicit proof contexts in many ML interfaces.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Code generator: minimize exported identifiers by default.  Minor
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Code generation for SML and OCaml: dropped arcane "no_signatures"
option.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* "declare [[code abort: ...]]" replaces "code_abort ...".
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* "declare [[code drop: ...]]" drops all code equations associated
with the given constants.

* Code generations are provided for make, fields, extend and truncate
operations on records.

* Command and antiquotation "value" are now hardcoded against nbe and
ML.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Renamed command 'enriched_type' to 'functor'. INCOMPATIBILITY.

* The symbol "\<newline>" may be used within char or string literals
to represent (Char Nibble0 NibbleA), i.e. ASCII newline.

* Qualified String.implode and String.explode.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Simplifier: Enhanced solver of preconditions of rewrite rules can
now deal with conjunctions.  For help with converting proofs, the old
behaviour of the simplifier can be restored like this: declare/using
[[simp_legacy_precond]].  This configuration option will disappear
again in the future.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Simproc "finite_Collect" is no longer enabled by default, due to
spurious crashes and other surprises.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Moved new (co)datatype package and its dependencies from session
  "HOL-BNF" to "HOL".  The commands 'bnf', 'wrap_free_constructors',
  'datatype_new', 'codatatype', 'primcorec', 'primcorecursive' are now
  part of theory "Main".

  - Command 'primcorec' is fully implemented.
  - Command 'datatype_new' generates size functions ("size_xxx" and
    "size") as required by 'fun'.
  - BNFs are integrated with the Lifting tool and new-style
    (co)datatypes with Transfer.

      wrap_free_constructors ~> free_constructors
    INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - The generated constants "xxx_case" and "xxx_rec" have been renamed
    "case_xxx" and "rec_xxx" (e.g., "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").
    INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - The constant "xxx_(un)fold" and related theorems are no longer
    generated.  Use "xxx_(co)rec" or define "xxx_(un)fold" manually
    using "prim(co)rec".
    INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - No discriminators are generated for nullary constructors by
    default, eliminating the need for the odd "=:" syntax.
    INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - No discriminators or selectors are generated by default by
    "datatype_new", unless custom names are specified or the new
    "discs_sels" option is passed.
    INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Old datatype package:
  - The generated theorems "xxx.cases" and "xxx.recs" have been
    renamed "xxx.case" and "xxx.rec" (e.g., "sum.cases" ->
    "sum.case").  INCOMPATIBILITY.
  - The generated constants "xxx_case", "xxx_rec", and "xxx_size" have
    been renamed "case_xxx", "rec_xxx", and "size_xxx" (e.g.,
    "prod_case" ~> "case_prod").  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* The types "'a list" and "'a option", their set and map functions,
  their relators, and their selectors are now produced using the new
  BNF-based datatype package.

  Renamed constants:
    Option.set ~> set_option
    Option.map ~> map_option
    option_rel ~> rel_option

  Renamed theorems:
    set_def ~> set_rec[abs_def]
    map_def ~> map_rec[abs_def]
    Option.map_def ~> map_option_case[abs_def] (with "case_option" instead of "rec_option")
    option.recs ~> option.rec
    list_all2_def ~> list_all2_iff
    set.simps ~> set_simps (or the slightly different "list.set")
    map.simps ~> list.map
    hd.simps ~> list.sel(1)
    tl.simps ~> list.sel(2-3)
    the.simps ~> option.sel

    vset ~> rel_vset (in "src/HOL/Library/Quotient_Set.thy")

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* New internal SAT solver "cdclite" that produces models and proof
traces.  This solver replaces the internal SAT solvers "enumerate" and
"dpll".  Applications that explicitly used one of these two SAT
solvers should use "cdclite" instead. In addition, "cdclite" is now
the default SAT solver for the "sat" and "satx" proof methods and
corresponding tactics; the old default can be restored using "declare
[[sat_solver = zchaff_with_proofs]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* SMT module: A new version of the SMT module, temporarily called
"SMT2", uses SMT-LIB 2 and supports recent versions of Z3 (e.g.,
4.3). The new proof method is called "smt2". CVC3 and CVC4 are also
supported as oracles. Yices is no longer supported, because no version
of the solver can handle both SMT-LIB 2 and quantifiers.

* Activation of Z3 now works via "z3_non_commercial" system option
(without requiring restart), instead of former settings variable
"Z3_NON_COMMERCIAL".  The option can be edited in Isabelle/jEdit menu
Plugin Options / Isabelle / General.

* Sledgehammer:
  - Z3 can now produce Isar proofs.
  - MaSh overhaul:
    . New SML-based learning algorithms eliminate the dependency on
      Python and increase performance and reliability.
    . MaSh and MeSh are now used by default together with the
      traditional MePo (Meng-Paulson) relevance filter. To disable
      MaSh, set the "MaSh" system option in Isabelle/jEdit Plugin
      Options / Isabelle / General to "none".
  - New option:
      smt_proofs
  - Renamed options:
      isar_compress ~> compress
      isar_try0 ~> try0

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Removed solvers remote_cvc3 and remote_z3. Use cvc3 and z3 instead.

* Nitpick:
  - Fixed soundness bug whereby mutually recursive datatypes could
    take infinite values.
  - Fixed soundness bug with low-level number functions such as
    "Abs_Integ" and "Rep_Integ".
  - Removed "std" option.
  - Renamed "show_datatypes" to "show_types" and "hide_datatypes" to
    "hide_types".

* Metis: Removed legacy proof method 'metisFT'. Use 'metis
(full_types)' instead. INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Try0: Added 'algebra' and 'meson' to the set of proof methods.

* Adjustion of INF and SUP operations:
  - Elongated constants INFI and SUPR to INFIMUM and SUPREMUM.
  - Consolidated theorem names containing INFI and SUPR: have INF and
    SUP instead uniformly.
  - More aggressive normalization of expressions involving INF and Inf
    or SUP and Sup.
  - INF_image and SUP_image do not unfold composition.
  - Dropped facts INF_comp, SUP_comp.
  - Default congruence rules strong_INF_cong and strong_SUP_cong, with
    simplifier implication in premises.  Generalize and replace former
    INT_cong, SUP_cong

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* SUP and INF generalized to conditionally_complete_lattice.

* Swapped orientation of facts image_comp and vimage_comp:

  image_compose ~> image_comp [symmetric]
  image_comp ~> image_comp [symmetric]
  vimage_compose ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]
  vimage_comp ~> vimage_comp [symmetric]

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory reorganization: split of Big_Operators.thy into
Groups_Big.thy and Lattices_Big.thy.

INCOMPATBILITY.

* Theorem disambiguation Inf_le_Sup (on finite sets) ~>
Inf_fin_le_Sup_fin.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Qualified constant names Wellfounded.acc, Wellfounded.accp.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Fact generalization and consolidation:
    neq_one_mod_two, mod_2_not_eq_zero_eq_one_int ~> not_mod_2_eq_0_eq_1

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Purely algebraic definition of even.  Fact generalization and
  consolidation:
    nat_even_iff_2_dvd, int_even_iff_2_dvd ~> even_iff_2_dvd
    even_zero_(nat|int) ~> even_zero

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Abolished neg_numeral.
  - Canonical representation for minus one is "- 1".
  - Canonical representation for other negative numbers is "- (numeral _)".
  - When devising rule sets for number calculation, consider the
    following canonical cases: 0, 1, numeral _, - 1, - numeral _.
  - HOLogic.dest_number also recognizes numerals in non-canonical forms
    like "numeral One", "- numeral One", "- 0" and even "- ... - _".
  - Syntax for negative numerals is mere input syntax.

INCOMPATIBILITY.

    equals_zero_I ~> minus_unique
    diff_eq_0_iff_eq ~> right_minus_eq
    nat_infinite ~> infinite_UNIV_nat
    int_infinite ~> infinite_UNIV_int

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Fact name consolidation:
    diff_def, diff_minus, ab_diff_minus ~> diff_conv_add_uminus
    minus_le_self_iff ~> neg_less_eq_nonneg
    le_minus_self_iff ~> less_eq_neg_nonpos
    neg_less_nonneg ~> neg_less_pos
    less_minus_self_iff ~> less_neg_neg [simp]

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* More simplification rules on unary and binary minus:
add_diff_cancel, add_diff_cancel_left, add_le_same_cancel1,
add_le_same_cancel2, add_less_same_cancel1, add_less_same_cancel2,
add_minus_cancel, diff_add_cancel, le_add_same_cancel1,
le_add_same_cancel2, less_add_same_cancel1, less_add_same_cancel2,
minus_add_cancel, uminus_add_conv_diff.  These correspondingly have
been taken away from fact collections algebra_simps and field_simps.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

To restore proofs, the following patterns are helpful:

a) Arbitrary failing proof not involving "diff_def":
Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps.

b) Lifting rules from addition to subtraction:
Try with "using <rule for addition> of [... "- _" ...]" by simp".

c) Simplification with "diff_def": just drop "diff_def".
Consider simplification with algebra_simps or field_simps;
or the brute way with
"simp add: diff_conv_add_uminus del: add_uminus_conv_diff".

* Introduce bdd_above and bdd_below in theory
Conditionally_Complete_Lattices, use them instead of explicitly
stating boundedness of sets.

* ccpo.admissible quantifies only over non-empty chains to allow more
syntax-directed proof rules; the case of the empty chain shows up as
additional case in fixpoint induction proofs.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Removed and renamed theorems in Series:
  summable_le         ~>  suminf_le
  suminf_le           ~>  suminf_le_const
  series_pos_le       ~>  setsum_le_suminf
  series_pos_less     ~>  setsum_less_suminf
  suminf_ge_zero      ~>  suminf_nonneg
  suminf_gt_zero      ~>  suminf_pos
  suminf_gt_zero_iff  ~>  suminf_pos_iff
  summable_sumr_LIMSEQ_suminf  ~>  summable_LIMSEQ
  suminf_0_le         ~>  suminf_nonneg [rotate]
  pos_summable        ~>  summableI_nonneg_bounded
  ratio_test          ~>  summable_ratio_test

  removed series_zero, replaced by sums_finite

  removed auxiliary lemmas:

    sumr_offset, sumr_offset2, sumr_offset3, sumr_offset4, sumr_group,
    half, le_Suc_ex_iff, lemma_realpow_diff_sumr,
    real_setsum_nat_ivl_bounded, summable_le2, ratio_test_lemma2,
    sumr_minus_one_realpow_zerom, sumr_one_lb_realpow_zero,
    summable_convergent_sumr_iff, sumr_diff_mult_const

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Replace (F)DERIV syntax by has_derivative:
  - "(f has_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "FDERIV f x : s : f'"

  - "(f has_field_derivative f') (at x within s)" replaces "DERIV f x : s : f'"

  - "f differentiable at x within s" replaces "_ differentiable _ in _" syntax

  - removed constant isDiff

  - "DERIV f x : f'" and "FDERIV f x : f'" syntax is only available as
    input syntax.

  - "DERIV f x : s : f'" and "FDERIV f x : s : f'" syntax removed.

  - Renamed FDERIV_... lemmas to has_derivative_...

  - renamed deriv (the syntax constant used for "DERIV _ _ :> _") to DERIV

  - removed DERIV_intros, has_derivative_eq_intros

  - introduced derivative_intros and deriative_eq_intros which
    includes now rules for DERIV, has_derivative and
    has_vector_derivative.

  - Other renamings:
    differentiable_def        ~>  real_differentiable_def
    differentiableE           ~>  real_differentiableE
    fderiv_def                ~>  has_derivative_at
    field_fderiv_def          ~>  field_has_derivative_at
    isDiff_der                ~>  differentiable_def
    deriv_fderiv              ~>  has_field_derivative_def
    deriv_def                 ~>  DERIV_def

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Include more theorems in continuous_intros. Remove the
continuous_on_intros, isCont_intros collections, these facts are now
in continuous_intros.

* Theorems about complex numbers are now stated only using Re and Im,
the Complex constructor is not used anymore. It is possible to use
primcorec to defined the behaviour of a complex-valued function.

Removed theorems about the Complex constructor from the simpset, they
are available as the lemma collection legacy_Complex_simps. This
especially removes

    i_complex_of_real: "ii * complex_of_real r = Complex 0 r".

Instead the reverse direction is supported with
    Complex_eq: "Complex a b = a + \<i> * b"

Moved csqrt from Fundamental_Algebra_Theorem to Complex.

  Renamings:
    Re/Im                  ~>  complex.sel
    complex_Re/Im_zero     ~>  zero_complex.sel

    complex_diff_def
    complex_one_def
    complex_mult_def
    complex_inverse_def

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Theory Lubs moved HOL image to HOL-Library. It is replaced by
Conditionally_Complete_Lattices.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* HOL-Library: new theory src/HOL/Library/Tree.thy.

* HOL-Library: removed theory src/HOL/Library/Kleene_Algebra.thy; it
is subsumed by session Kleene_Algebra in AFP.

* HOL-Cardinals: new theory src/HOL/Cardinals/Ordinal_Arithmetic.thy.

* HOL-Word: bit representations prefer type bool over type bit.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* HOL-Word:
  - Abandoned fact collection "word_arith_alts", which is a duplicate
    of "word_arith_wis".
  - Dropped first (duplicated) element in fact collections
    "sint_word_ariths", "word_arith_alts", "uint_word_ariths",
    "uint_word_arith_bintrs".

* HOL-Number_Theory:
  - consolidated the proofs of the binomial theorem
  - the function fib is again of type nat => nat and not overloaded
  - no more references to Old_Number_Theory in the HOL libraries
    (except the AFP)

INCOMPATIBILITY.

* HOL-Multivariate_Analysis:
  - Type class ordered_real_vector for ordered vector spaces.
  - New theory Complex_Basic_Analysis defining complex derivatives,
    holomorphic functions, etc., ported from HOL Light's canal.ml.
  - Changed order of ordered_euclidean_space to be compatible with
    pointwise ordering on products. Therefore instance of
    conditionally_complete_lattice and ordered_real_vector.
    INCOMPATIBILITY: use box instead of greaterThanLessThan or
    explicit set-comprehensions with eucl_less for other (half-)open
    intervals.
  - removed dependencies on type class ordered_euclidean_space with
    introduction of "cbox" on euclidean_space
    - renamed theorems:

    The following theorems where removed:

    lebesgue_integral_uminus
    lebesgue_integral_cmult
    lebesgue_integral_multc
    lebesgue_integral_cmult_nonneg
    integral_cmul_indicator
    integral_real

  - Renamed positive_integral to nn_integral:

    . Renamed all lemmas "*positive_integral*" to *nn_integral*"
      positive_integral_positive ~> nn_integral_nonneg

    . Renamed abbreviation integral\<^sup>P to integral\<^sup>N.

  - Formalized properties about exponentially, Erlang, and normal
    distributed random variables.

* HOL-Decision_Procs: Separate command 'approximate' for approximative
computation in src/HOL/Decision_Procs/Approximation.  Minor
INCOMPATIBILITY.


*** Scala ***

* The signature and semantics of Document.Snapshot.cumulate_markup /
select_markup have been clarified.  Markup is now traversed in the
order of reports given by the prover: later markup is usually more
specific and may override results accumulated so far.  The elements
guard is mandatory and checked precisely.  Subtle INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Substantial reworking of internal PIDE protocol communication
channels.  INCOMPATIBILITY.


*** ML ***

* Subtle change of semantics of Thm.eq_thm: theory stamps are not
compared (according to Thm.thm_ord), but assumed to be covered by the
current background theory.  Thus equivalent data produced in different
branches of the theory graph usually coincides (e.g. relevant for
theory merge).  Note that the softer Thm.eq_thm_prop is often more
appropriate than Thm.eq_thm.

* Proper context for basic Simplifier operations: rewrite_rule,
rewrite_goals_rule, rewrite_goals_tac etc. INCOMPATIBILITY, need to
pass runtime Proof.context (and ensure that the simplified entity
actually belongs to it).

* Proper context discipline for read_instantiate and instantiate_tac:
variables that are meant to become schematic need to be given as
fixed, and are generalized by the explicit context of local variables.
This corresponds to Isar attributes "where" and "of" with 'for'
declaration.  INCOMPATIBILITY, also due to potential change of indices
of schematic variables.

* Moved ML_Compiler.exn_trace and other operations on exceptions to
structure Runtime.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Discontinued old Toplevel.debug in favour of system option
"ML_exception_trace", which may be also declared within the context
via "declare [[ML_exception_trace = true]]".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Renamed configuration option "ML_trace" to "ML_source_trace". Minor
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Configuration option "ML_print_depth" controls the pretty-printing
depth of the ML compiler within the context.  The old print_depth in
ML is still available as default_print_depth, but rarely used.  Minor
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Toplevel function "use" refers to raw ML bootstrap environment,
without Isar context nor antiquotations.  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY.
Note that 'ML_file' is the canonical command to load ML files into the
formal context.

* Simplified programming interface to define ML antiquotations, see
structure ML_Antiquotation.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* ML antiquotation @{here} refers to its source position, which is
occasionally useful for experimentation and diagnostic purposes.

* ML antiquotation @{path} produces a Path.T value, similarly to
Path.explode, but with compile-time check against the file-system and
some PIDE markup.  Note that unlike theory source, ML does not have a
well-defined master directory, so an absolute symbolic path
specification is usually required, e.g. "~~/src/HOL".

* ML antiquotation @{print} inlines a function to print an arbitrary
ML value, which is occasionally useful for diagnostic or demonstration
purposes.


*** System ***

* Proof General with its traditional helper scripts is now an optional
Isabelle component, e.g. see ProofGeneral-4.2-2 from the Isabelle
component repository http://isabelle.in.tum.de/components/.  Note that
the "system" manual provides general explanations about add-on
components, especially those that are not bundled with the release.

* The raw Isabelle process executable has been renamed from
"isabelle-process" to "isabelle_process", which conforms to common
shell naming conventions, and allows to define a shell function within
the Isabelle environment to avoid dynamic path lookup.  Rare
incompatibility for old tools that do not use the ISABELLE_PROCESS
settings variable.

* Former "isabelle tty" has been superseded by "isabelle console",
with implicit build like "isabelle jedit", and without the mostly
obsolete Isar TTY loop.

* Simplified "isabelle display" tool.  Settings variables DVI_VIEWER
and PDF_VIEWER now refer to the actual programs, not shell
command-lines.  Discontinued option -c: invocation may be asynchronous
via desktop environment, without any special precautions.  Potential
INCOMPATIBILITY with ambitious private settings.

* Removed obsolete "isabelle unsymbolize".  Note that the usual format
for email communication is the Unicode rendering of Isabelle symbols,
as produced by Isabelle/jEdit, for example.

* Removed obsolete tool "wwwfind". Similar functionality may be
integrated into Isabelle/jEdit eventually.

* Improved 'display_drafts' concerning desktop integration and
repeated invocation in PIDE front-end: re-use single file
$ISABELLE_HOME_USER/tmp/drafts.pdf and corresponding views.

* Session ROOT specifications require explicit 'document_files' for
robust dependencies on LaTeX sources.  Only these explicitly given
files are copied to the document output directory, before document
processing is started.

* Windows: support for regular TeX installation (e.g. MiKTeX) instead
of TeX Live from Cygwin.



New in Isabelle2013-2 (December 2013)
-------------------------------------

*** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***

* More robust editing of running commands with internal forks,
e.g. non-terminating 'by' steps.

* More relaxed Sledgehammer panel: avoid repeated application of query
after edits surrounding the command location.

* More status information about commands that are interrupted
accidentally (via physical event or Poly/ML runtime system signal,
e.g. out-of-memory).


*** System ***

* More robust termination of external processes managed by
Isabelle/ML: support cancellation of tasks within the range of
milliseconds, as required for PIDE document editing with automatically
tried tools (e.g. Sledgehammer).

* Reactivated Isabelle/Scala kill command for external processes on
Mac OS X, which was accidentally broken in Isabelle2013-1 due to a
workaround for some Debian/Ubuntu Linux versions from 2013.



New in Isabelle2013-1 (November 2013)
-------------------------------------

*** General ***

* Discontinued obsolete 'uses' within theory header.  Note that
commands like 'ML_file' work without separate declaration of file
dependencies.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Discontinued redundant 'use' command, which was superseded by
'ML_file' in Isabelle2013.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Simplified subscripts within identifiers, using plain \<^sub>
instead of the second copy \<^isub> and \<^isup>.  Superscripts are
only for literal tokens within notation; explicit mixfix annotations
for consts or fixed variables may be used as fall-back for unusual
names.  Obsolete \<twosuperior> has been expanded to \<^sup>2 in
Isabelle/HOL.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use "isabelle update_sub_sup" to
standardize symbols as a starting point for further manual cleanup.
The ML reference variable "legacy_isub_isup" may be set as temporary
workaround, to make the prover accept a subset of the old identifier
syntax.

* Document antiquotations: term style "isub" has been renamed to
"sub".  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Uniform management of "quick_and_dirty" as system option (see also
"isabelle options"), configuration option within the context (see also
Config.get in Isabelle/ML), and attribute in Isabelle/Isar.  Minor
INCOMPATIBILITY, need to use more official Isabelle means to access
quick_and_dirty, instead of historical poking into mutable reference.

* Renamed command 'print_configs' to 'print_options'.  Minor
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Proper diagnostic command 'print_state'.  Old 'pr' (with its
implicit change of some global references) is retained for now as
control command, e.g. for ProofGeneral 3.7.x.

* Discontinued 'print_drafts' command with its old-fashioned PS output
and Unix command-line print spooling.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY: use
'display_drafts' instead and print via the regular document viewer.

* Updated and extended "isar-ref" and "implementation" manual,
eliminated old "ref" manual.


*** Prover IDE -- Isabelle/Scala/jEdit ***

* New manual "jedit" for Isabelle/jEdit, see isabelle doc or
Documentation panel.

* Dockable window "Documentation" provides access to Isabelle
documentation.

* Dockable window "Find" provides query operations for formal entities
(GUI front-end to 'find_theorems' command).

* Dockable window "Sledgehammer" manages asynchronous / parallel
sledgehammer runs over existing document sources, independently of
normal editing and checking process.

* Dockable window "Timing" provides an overview of relevant command
timing information, depending on option jedit_timing_threshold.  The
same timing information is shown in the extended tooltip of the
command keyword, when hovering the mouse over it while the CONTROL or
COMMAND modifier is pressed.

* Improved dockable window "Theories": Continuous checking of proof
document (visible and required parts) may be controlled explicitly,
using check box or shortcut "C+e ENTER".  Individual theory nodes may
be marked explicitly as required and checked in full, using check box
or shortcut "C+e SPACE".

* Improved completion mechanism, which is now managed by the
Isabelle/jEdit plugin instead of SideKick.  Refined table of Isabelle
symbol abbreviations (see $ISABELLE_HOME/etc/symbols).

* Standard jEdit keyboard shortcut C+b complete-word is remapped to
isabelle.complete for explicit completion in Isabelle sources.
INCOMPATIBILITY wrt. jEdit defaults, may have to invent new shortcuts
to resolve conflict.

* Improved support of various "minor modes" for Isabelle NEWS,
options, session ROOT etc., with completion and SideKick tree view.

* Strictly monotonic document update, without premature cancellation of
running transactions that are still needed: avoid reset/restart of
such command executions while editing.

* Support for asynchronous print functions, as overlay to existing
document content.

* Support for automatic tools in HOL, which try to prove or disprove
toplevel theorem statements.

* Action isabelle.reset-font-size resets main text area font size
according to Isabelle/Scala plugin option "jedit_font_reset_size" (see
also "Plugin Options / Isabelle / General").  It can be bound to some
keyboard shortcut by the user (e.g. C+0 and/or C+NUMPAD0).

* File specifications in jEdit (e.g. file browser) may refer to
$ISABELLE_HOME and $ISABELLE_HOME_USER on all platforms.  Discontinued
obsolete $ISABELLE_HOME_WINDOWS variable.

* Improved support for Linux look-and-feel "GTK+", see also "Utilities
/ Global Options / Appearance".

* Improved support of native Mac OS X functionality via "MacOSX"
plugin, which is now enabled by default.


*** Pure ***

* Commands 'interpretation' and 'sublocale' are now target-sensitive.
In particular, 'interpretation' allows for non-persistent
interpretation within "context ... begin ... end" blocks offering a
light-weight alternative to 'sublocale'.  See "isar-ref" manual for
details.

* Improved locales diagnostic command 'print_dependencies'.

* Discontinued obsolete 'axioms' command, which has been marked as
legacy since Isabelle2009-2.  INCOMPATIBILITY, use 'axiomatization'
instead, while observing its uniform scope for polymorphism.

* Discontinued empty name bindings in 'axiomatization'.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* System option "proofs" has been discontinued.  Instead the global
state of Proofterm.proofs is persistently compiled into logic images
as required, notably HOL-Proofs.  Users no longer need to change
Proofterm.proofs dynamically.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Syntax translation functions (print_translation etc.) always depend
on Proof.context.  Discontinued former "(advanced)" option -- this is
now the default.  Minor INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Former global reference trace_unify_fail is now available as
configuration option "unify_trace_failure" (global context only).

* SELECT_GOAL now retains the syntactic context of the overall goal
state (schematic variables etc.).  Potential INCOMPATIBILITY in rare
situations.


*** HOL ***

* Stronger precedence of syntax for big intersection and union on
sets, in accordance with corresponding lattice operations.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Notation "{p:A. P}" now allows tuple patterns as well.

* Nested case expressions are now translated in a separate check phase
rather than during parsing. The data for case combinators is separated
from the datatype package. The declaration attribute
"case_translation" can be used to register new case combinators:

  declare [[case_translation case_combinator constructor1 ... constructorN]]

* Code generator:
  - 'code_printing' unifies 'code_const' / 'code_type' / 'code_class' /
    'code_instance'.
  - 'code_identifier' declares name hints for arbitrary identifiers in
    generated code, subsuming 'code_modulename'.

See the isar-ref manual for syntax diagrams, and the HOL theories for
examples.

* Attibute 'code': 'code' now declares concrete and abstract code
equations uniformly.  Use explicit 'code equation' and 'code abstract'
to distinguish both when desired.

* Discontinued theories Code_Integer and Efficient_Nat by a more
fine-grain stack of theories Code_Target_Int, Code_Binary_Nat,
Code_Target_Nat and Code_Target_Numeral.  See the tutorial on code
generation for details.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Numeric types are mapped by default to target language numerals:
natural (replaces former code_numeral) and integer (replaces former
code_int).  Conversions are available as integer_of_natural /
natural_of_integer / integer_of_nat / nat_of_integer (in HOL) and
Code_Numeral.integer_of_natural / Code_Numeral.natural_of_integer (in
ML).  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Function package: For mutually recursive functions f and g, separate
cases rules f.cases and g.cases are generated instead of unusable
f_g.cases which exposed internal sum types. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY,
in the case that the unusable rule was used nevertheless.

* Function package: For each function f, new rules f.elims are
generated, which eliminate equalities of the form "f x = t".

* New command 'fun_cases' derives ad-hoc elimination rules for
function equations as simplified instances of f.elims, analogous to
inductive_cases.  See ~~/src/HOL/ex/Fundefs.thy for some examples.

* Lifting:
  - parametrized correspondence relations are now supported:
    + parametricity theorems for the raw term can be specified in
      the command lift_definition, which allow us to generate stronger
      transfer rules
    + setup_lifting generates stronger transfer rules if parametric
      correspondence relation can be generated
    + various new properties of the relator must be specified to support
      parametricity
    + parametricity theorem for the Quotient relation can be specified
  - setup_lifting generates domain rules for the Transfer package
  - stronger reflexivity prover of respectfulness theorems for type
    copies
  - ===> and --> are now local. The symbols can be introduced
    by interpreting the locale lifting_syntax (typically in an
    anonymous context)
  - Lifting/Transfer relevant parts of Library/Quotient_* are now in
    Main. Potential INCOMPATIBILITY
  - new commands for restoring and deleting Lifting/Transfer context:
    lifting_forget, lifting_update
  - the command print_quotmaps was renamed to print_quot_maps.
    INCOMPATIBILITY

* Transfer:
  - better support for domains in Transfer: replace Domainp T
    by the actual invariant in a transferred goal
  - transfer rules can have as assumptions other transfer rules
  - Experimental support for transferring from the raw level to the
    abstract level: Transfer.transferred attribute
  - Attribute version of the transfer method: untransferred attribute

* Reification and reflection:
  - Reification is now directly available in HOL-Main in structure
    "Reification".
  - Reflection now handles multiple lists with variables also.
  - The whole reflection stack has been decomposed into conversions.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Revised devices for recursive definitions over finite sets:
  - Only one fundamental fold combinator on finite set remains:
    Finite_Set.fold :: ('a => 'b => 'b) => 'b => 'a set => 'b
    This is now identity on infinite sets.
  - Locales ("mini packages") for fundamental definitions with
    Finite_Set.fold: folding, folding_idem.
  - Locales comm_monoid_set, semilattice_order_set and
    semilattice_neutr_order_set for big operators on sets.
    See theory Big_Operators for canonical examples.
    Note that foundational constants comm_monoid_set.F and
    semilattice_set.F correspond to former combinators fold_image
    and fold1 respectively.  These are now gone.  You may use
    those foundational constants as substitutes, but it is
    preferable to interpret the above locales accordingly.
  - Dropped class ab_semigroup_idem_mult (special case of lattice,
    no longer needed in connection with Finite_Set.fold etc.)
  - Fact renames:
      card.union_inter ~> card_Un_Int [symmetric]
      card.union_disjoint ~> card_Un_disjoint
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Locale hierarchy for abstract orderings and (semi)lattices.

* Complete_Partial_Order.admissible is defined outside the type class
ccpo, but with mandatory prefix ccpo. Admissibility theorems lose the
class predicate assumption or sort constraint when possible.
INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Introduce type class "conditionally_complete_lattice": Like a
complete lattice but does not assume the existence of the top and
bottom elements.  Allows to generalize some lemmas about reals and
extended reals.  Removed SupInf and replaced it by the instantiation
of conditionally_complete_lattice for real. Renamed lemmas about
conditionally-complete lattice from Sup_... to cSup_... and from
Inf_...  to cInf_... to avoid hidding of similar complete lattice
lemmas.

* Introduce type class linear_continuum as combination of
conditionally-complete lattices and inner dense linorders which have
more than one element.  INCOMPATIBILITY.

* Introduced type classes order_top and order_bot. The old classes top
and bot only contain the syntax without assumptions.  INCOMPATIBILITY:
Rename bot -> order_bot, top -> order_top

* Introduce type classes "no_top" and "no_bot" for orderings without
top and bottom elements.

* Split dense_linorder into inner_dense_order and no_top, no_bot.

* Complex_Main: Unify and move various concepts from
HOL-Multivariate_Analysis to HOL-Complex_Main.

 - Introduce type class (lin)order_topology and
   linear_continuum_topology.  Allows to generalize theorems about
   limits and order.  Instances are reals and extended reals.

 - continuous and continuos_on from Multivariate_Analysis:
   "continuous" is the continuity of a function at a filter.  "isCont"
   is now an abbrevitation: "isCont x f == continuous (at _) f".

   Generalized continuity lemmas from isCont to continuous on an
   arbitrary filter.

 - compact from Multivariate_Analysis. Use Bolzano's lemma to prove
   compactness of closed intervals on reals. Continuous functions
   attain infimum and supremum on compact sets. The inverse of a
   continuous function is continuous, when the function is continuous
   on a compact set.

 - connected from Multivariate_Analysis. Use it to prove the
   intermediate value theorem. Show connectedness of intervals on
   linear_continuum_topology).

 - first_countable_topology from Multivariate_Analysis. Is used to
   show equivalence of properties on the neighbourhood filter of x and
   on all sequences converging to x.

 - FDERIV: Definition of has_derivative moved to Deriv.thy. Moved
   theorems from Library/FDERIV.thy to Deriv.thy and base the
   definition of DERIV on FDERIV. Add variants of DERIV and FDERIV
   which are restricted to sets, i.e. to represent derivatives from
   left or right.

 - Removed the within-filter. It is replaced by the principal filter:

     F within X = inf F (principal X)

 - Introduce "at x within U" as a single constant, "at x" is now an
   abbreviation for "at x within UNIV"

 - Introduce named theorem collections tendsto_intros,
   continuous_intros, continuous_on_intros and FDERIV_intros. Theorems
   in tendsto_intros (or FDERIV_intros) are also available as
   tendsto_eq_intros (or FDERIV_eq_intros) where the right-hand side
   is replaced by a congruence rule. This allows to apply them as
   intro rules and then proving equivalence by the simplifier.

 - Restructured theories in HOL-Complex_Main:

   + Moved RealDef and RComplete into Real

   + Introduced Topological_Spaces and moved theorems about
     topological spaces, filters, limits and continuity to it

   + Renamed RealVector to Real_Vector_Spaces

   + Split Lim, SEQ, Series into Topological_Spaces,
