* Delimiters of outer tokens (string etc.) now produce separate LaTeX
macros (\isachardoublequoteopen, isachardoublequoteclose etc.).
+* Isabelle's pdfsetup.sty now requires ifpdf.sty (which is part of
+common LaTeX distributions) for robust checking of PDF output mode.
+
* isatool usedir: new option -C (default true) controls whether option
-D should include a copy of the original document directory; -C false
prevents unwanted effects such as copying of administrative CVS data.

* Simplifier: improved handling of bound variables (nameless
representation, avoid allocating new strings). Simprocs that invoke
the Simplifier recursively should use Simplifier.inherit_bounds to
-avoid local name clashes.
-
-* Provers: Simplifier and Classical Reasoner now support proof context
-dependent plug-ins (simprocs, solvers, wrappers etc.). These extra
-components are stored in the theory and patched into the
-simpset/claset when used in an Isar proof context. Context dependent
-components are maintained by the following theory operations:
-
- Simplifier.add_context_simprocs
- Simplifier.del_context_simprocs
- Simplifier.set_context_subgoaler
- Simplifier.reset_context_subgoaler
- Simplifier.add_context_looper
- Simplifier.del_context_looper
- Simplifier.add_context_unsafe_solver
- Simplifier.add_context_safe_solver
-
- Classical.add_context_safe_wrapper
- Classical.del_context_safe_wrapper
- Classical.add_context_unsafe_wrapper
- Classical.del_context_unsafe_wrapper
-
-IMPORTANT NOTE: proof tools (methods etc.) need to use
-local_simpset_of and local_claset_of instead of the primitive
-Simplifier.get_local_simpset and Classical.get_local_claset,
-respectively, in order to see the context dependent fields!
+avoid local name clashes. Failure to do so produces warnings
+"Simplifier: renamed bound variable ..."; set Simplifier.debug_bounds
+for further details.
* ML functions legacy_bindings and use_legacy_bindings produce ML fact
bindings for all theorems stored within a given theory; this may help
