-Potential sources of incompatibilities between Coq V8.5 and V8.6
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Symptom: An obligation generated by Program or an abstracted subproof
-has different arguments.
-Cause: Set Shrink Abstract and Set Shrink Obligations are on by default
-and the subproof does not use the argument.
-Remedy:
-- Adapt the script.
-- Write an explicit lemma to prove the obligation/subproof and use it
-  instead (compatible with 8.4).
-- Unset the option for the program/proof the obligation/subproof originates
-  from.
-
-Symptom: In a goal, order of hypotheses, or absence of an equality of
-the form "x = t" or "t = x", or no unfolding of a local definition.
-Cause: This might be connected to a number of fixes in the tactic
-"subst". The former behavior can be reactivated by issuing "Unset
-Regular Subst Tactic".

-Potential sources of incompatibilities between Coq V8.4 and V8.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-* List of typical changes to be done to adapt files from Coq 8.4 *
-* to Coq 8.5 when not using compatibility option "-compat 8.4".  *
-
-Symptom: "The reference omega was not found in the current environment".
-Cause: "Require Omega" does not import the tactic "omega" any more
-Possible solutions:
-- use "Require Import OmegaTactic" (not compatible with 8.4)
-- use "Require Import Omega" (compatible with 8.4)
-- add definition "Ltac omega := Coq.omega.Omega.omega."
-  
-Symptom: "intuition" cannot solve a goal (not working anymore on non standard connective)
-Cause: "intuition" had an accidental non uniform behavior fixed on non standard connectives
-Possible solutions:
-- use "dintuition" instead; it is stronger than "intuition" and works
-  uniformly on non standard connectives, such as n-ary conjunctions or disjunctions
-  (not compatible with 8.4)
-- do the script differently
-
-Symptom: The constructor foo (in type bar) expects n arguments.
-Cause: parameters must now be given in patterns
-Possible solutions:
-- use option "Set Asymmetric Patterns" (compatible with 8.4)
-- add "_" for the parameters (not compatible with 8.4)
-- turn the parameters into implicit arguments (compatible with 8.4)
-
-Symptom: "NPeano.Nat.foo" not existing anymore
-Possible solutions:
-- use "Nat.foo" instead
-
-Symptom: typing problems with proj1_sig or similar
-Cause: coercion from sig to sigT and similar coercions have been
-  removed so as to make the initial state easier to understand for
-  beginners
-Solution: change proj1_sig into projT1 and similarly (compatible with 8.4)

-- options for *coq* compilation (see below for ocaml).
-
-** [-I foo] is now deprecated and will not add directory foo to the
-   coq load path (only for ocaml, see below). Just replace [-I foo] by
-   [-Q foo ""] in your project file and re-generate makefile. Or
-   perform the same operation directly in your makefile if you edit it
-   by hand.
-
-** Option -R Foo bar is the same in v8.5 than in v8.4 concerning coq
-   load path.
-
-** Option [-I foo -as bar] is unchanged but discouraged unless you
-   compile ocaml code. Use -Q foo bar instead.
-
-  for more details: file CHANGES or section "Customization at launch
-  time" of the reference manual.
-
-- Command line options for ocaml  Compilation of ocaml code (plugins) 
-
-** [-I foo] is *not* deprecated to add foo to the ocaml load path.
-
-** [-I foo -as bar] adds foo to the ocaml load path *and* adds foo to
-   the coq load path with logical name bar (shortcut for -I foo -Q foo
-   bar).
-
-  for more details: file CHANGES or section "Customization at launch
-  time" of the reference manual.
-
-- Universe Polymorphism.
-
-- Refinement, unification and tactics are now aware of universes,
-  resulting in more localized errors. Universe inconsistencies 
-  should no more get raised at Qed time but during the proof.
-  Unification *always* produces well-typed substitutions, hence
-  some rare cases of unifications that succeeded while producing
-  ill-typed terms before will now fail.
-  
-- The [change p with c] tactic semantics changed, now typechecking 
-  [c] at each matching occurrence [t] of the pattern [p], and 
-  converting [t] with [c].
-  
-- Template polymorphic inductive types: the partial application 
-  of a template polymorphic type (e.g. list) is not polymorphic.
-  An explicit parameter application (e.g [fun A => list A]) or
-  [apply (list _)] will result in a polymorphic instance.
-
-- The type inference algorithm now takes opacity of constants into
-  account. This may have effects on tactics using type inference
-  (e.g. induction). Extra "Transparent" might have to be added to
-  revert opacity of constants.
-
-Type classes.
-
-- When writing an Instance foo : Class A := {| proj := t |} (note the
-  vertical bars), support for typechecking the projections using the
-  type information and switching to proof mode is no longer available.
-  Use { } (without the vertical bars) instead.
-
-Tactic abstract.
-
-- Auxiliary lemmas generated by the abstract tactic are removed from
-  the global environment and inlined in the proof term when a proof
-  is ended with Qed.  The behavior of 8.4 can be obtained by ending
-  proofs with "Qed exporting" or "Qed exporting ident, .., ident".

-Potential sources of incompatibilities between Coq V8.3 and V8.4
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-(see also file CHANGES)
-
-The main known incompatibilities between 8.3 and 8.4 are consequences
-of the following changes:
-
-- The reorganization of the library of numbers:
-
-  Several definitions have new names or are defined in modules of
-  different names, but a special care has been taken to have this
-  renaming transparent for the user thanks to compatibility notations.
-
-  However some definitions have changed, what might require some
-  adaptations. The most noticeable examples are:
-  - The "?=" notation which now bind to Pos.compare rather than former
-    Pcompare (now Pos.compare_cont).
-  - Changes in names may induce different automatically generated
-    names in proof scripts (e.g. when issuing "destruct Z_le_gt_dec").
-  - Z.add has a new definition, hence, applying "simpl" on subterms of
-    its body might give different results than before.
-  - BigN.shiftl and BigN.shiftr have reversed arguments order, the
-    power function in BigN now takes two BigN.
-
-- Other changes in libraries:
-
-  - The definition of functions over "vectors" (list of fixed length)
-    have changed.
-  - TheoryList.v has been removed.
-
-- Slight changes in tactics:
-
-  - Less unfolding of fixpoints when applying destruct or inversion on
-    a fixpoint hiding an inductive type (add an extra call to simpl to
-    preserve compatibility).
-  - Less unexpected local definitions when applying "destruct"
-    (incompatibilities solvable by adapting name hypotheses).
-  - Tactic "apply" might succeed more often, e.g. by now solving
-    pattern-matching of the form ?f x y = g(x,y) (compatibility
-    ensured by using "Unset Tactic Pattern Unification"), but also
-    because it supports (full) betaiota (using "simple apply" might
-    then help).
-  - Tactic autorewrite does no longer instantiate pre-existing
-    existential variables.
-  - Tactic "info" is now available only for auto, eauto and trivial.
-
-- Miscellaneous changes:
-
-  - The command "Load" is now atomic for backtracking (use "Unset
-    Atomic Load" for compatibility).
-
-
-Incompatibilities beyond 8.4...
-
-- Syntax: "x -> y" has now lower priority than "<->" "A -> B <-> C" is
-  now "A -> (B <-> C)"
-
-- Tactics: tauto and intuition no longer accidentally destruct binary
-  connectives or records other than and, or, prod, sum, iff. In most
-  of cases, dtauto or dintuition, though stronger than 8.3 tauto and
-  8.3 intuition will provide compatibility.
-
-- "Solve Obligations using" is now "Solve Obligations with".
