A new - function `pg-insert-last-output-as-comment' (C-c C-;) - inserts the last output and converts it into a comment - using `comment-region'. - -*** Changes to colours, mouse highlighting, echo help messages - - Now `proof-locked-face' becomes a lighter cyan. This is - less obtrusive when editing proofs, but is not so visible - for demonstrating PG: if you prefer the old stronger colour, - customize the face to "lightsteelblue2" using - M-x customize-face RET proof-locked-face. - - New face `proof-mouse-highlight-face' (default: darker blue - than locked region) is now used for mouse highlighting regions of - script. Less ugly than the previous default (green) highlight face. - - Also, for XEmacs, there are now (trivial) help messages in echo - area describing the highlighted region under the mouse. - -*** Experimental features and new user option - - There's a new user option `proof-experimental-features' which - is nil by default. If you set it to t, you will (maybe after - restarting Proof General) enable certain experimental features. - - In this release, the experimental features are: - - Context menu options to move spans up/down - (Only reliable in XEmacs; also on keys control-meta-up, control-meta-down) - Context menu dependency commands - (Isabelle only, see below) - - To customize this from the menu: - - Proof General -> Customize -> User Options -> Experimental features - -*** Proof General startup script welcomes user - - The "binary" (startup script) bin/proofgeneral now loads - PG and invokes a function to display a splash message, - which invites the user to load a file. A bit more - friendly than simply being confronted by a standard - XEmacs screen. - -*** Changes to Proof General RPM packaging mechanism - - Can now build RPM packages with "rpm -ta" from tarball source. - RPM includes menu file and icons so that Proof General may - appear on your window system menus (tested under Linux Mandrake). - We no longer distribute an SRPM. - -*** Compatibility fixes. - - Fixes for FSF Emacs and XEmacs 21.4 - - Better support for win32 versions of XEmacs (see README.windows). - - Fixes for recent version 3.3g of X-Symbol (and note on - web page about using ~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages/ for install locn). - -*** Bug fixes. - - XEmacs 21.1 has faulty implementation of buffer-syntactic-context, - workaround added. (Symptom was parsing breaking, giving unexpected - "I can't see any complete commands to process!" error message, esp - with strings broken across lines containing parentheses). - - Fixed Emacs-confusion minibuffer contents switching bug. (Bug - was triggered by using toolbar while minibuffer active). - - Fixed problem with C-x C-v not adding completed files to included - files list (it does now). - -** Coq Changes - - Compatibility for V7 added. - - Experimental enhancements to handling of compiled files and - file dependency. (Only tested with Coq 6.3.1: we need help - from Coq implementors to add primitive support in V7, please - appeal to them to help Proof General!). - - 1) At the end of scripting foo.v (i.e. when activing scripting is - switched off), "Reset Initial. Compile Module <foo>" is - automatically issued. This clears the context and writes a .vo file, - to keep your .vo files up to date. It means that when using PG Coq, - you should use the correct commands ("Require foo.") to load all - the modules you depend on, so that scripting can continue in the - next file. - - 2) PG tracks file dependencies by noticing "Reinterning" messages - from Coq. When a file "b.v" is processed which has a "Require a", - command, PG will try to find "a.v" and will automatically lock - it. (This part of the process is fragile, for two reasons: it - is hard to find the directory for a.v, since Coq doesn't report - it, and the reinterning message is only issued the first time the - file is reinterned). - - 3) When a file is retracted, PG attempts to automatically unlock - all the dependent files, by issuing a coqdep command to determine - the dependencies. (This is a rather nasty hack, it's hoped for - the future that Coq will support this functionality directly). - - This functionality is enabled with the Coq settings option - "Auto Compile Vos". - - -** Isabelle Changes - - Support for theorem dependency tracking: context-sensitive menu - (right button on a completed proof) provides a facility for browsing - the ancestors and child theorems of a theorem, and highlighting them. - - The idea of this feature is that it can help you untangle and - rearrange big proof scripts, by seeing which parts are - interdependent. - - This facility is not yet closely integrated with Isabelle and - relies on an auxiliary ML file which is only compatible with - Isabelle99-2. It is only supplied for Isabelle/classic. - - To activate the feature, use the Isabelle setting option "Theorem - Dependencies." Notice that you need to switch this on *after* - starting an Isabelles session, and must switch on/off on every - restart. (This behaviour will improve once better integrated - with Isabelle). - - NB this is classed as an experimental feature, so you must set - proof-experimental-features to enable it. - - Not yet documented. Comments and suggestions welcome. - - -** Changes for developers to note - -*** proof-shell-process-output now sets proof-shell-last-output and - proof-shell-last-output-kind which gives clearer interface internally - and with rest of code. See docs. - -*** Support for "tracing" buffers added. - This was added for Isabelle's simplifier tracing, when a large - amount of output is produced during a proof for debugging. - The user would rather see the output as it arrives than wait - for a long time. - Experimental stage and not yet enabled for any prover. - See proof-shell-spill-output-regexp. -
