This allows proof assistants to display logical - symbols, Greek letters, etc, with ease. The original patches - for Isabelle are courtesy of David von Oheimb. There are - early experimental configurations provided for LEGO and Coq - which use ordinary character sequences rather than escaped - tokens (so "/\" appears as a wedge, and "Gamma" appears - as the letter Gamma). You may need to install X-Symbol first; - visit http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/~wedler/x-symbol - -* Demonstration instance of Proof General for Isabelle shows - how you can get the interface going with a minimum of fuss. - It has less than 30 simple settings. - -* Proof General is now more cany about the queue of commands. - You can now add more proof commands on the end of the queue, - without the "Proof Process Busy" message. - -* New function C-c C-f (proof-find) to invoke some prover-specific - mechanism to search for theorems. - -* Whenever scripting is triggered in a new file, a cd command - is sent to the proof assistant to switch to the right directory - (in case other files are included). - -* [XEmacs only] Toolbar has six new buttons (State, Context, Info, - Command, Help, Stop) which invoke commands previously available on - keys/menus. Also a new "Find" button for proof-find. - -* [XEmacs only] Toolbar enablers have been added. - Buttons are automatically enabled or disabled as appropriate. - This requires XEmacs 21 or better for reliable working, - so is disabled for earlier versions. - If you do not like enablers, you can turn them off with - the new configuration variable proof-toolbar-use-enablers. - With this variable nil, buttons do nothing when they - otherwise be disabled. - -* Menus and keybindings have been reorganized. - Bindings C-c <letter> are being phased out; they are supposed - to be reserved for the user according to Emacs convention. - -* Keybindings for assert/retract now invoke the same functions as the - toolbar. In particular, C-c C-n and C-c C-u are simplified so that - they always process or retract exactly one command, rather - than one command beyond point. Moreover, C-c C-u does not - take an optional argument to delete the retracted text - (it was too easy for the user to accidently type C-u C-c C-u !) - -* New command C-c C-RET proof-goto-point which generalises - previous proof-assert-until-point to also do retracting if - point is in the locked region. - -* User options have been re-organized and renamed to be - more suggestive. Boolean options can be - toggled from the menu and saved with "Save options" - on the ordinary Emacs "Options" menu. (Others can - be set via Customize). - -* "Active terminator minor mode" is now called "electric - terminator". It has one setting for all buffers, and - you can customize it if you want it permanently on. - -* Command C-c C-t (proof-try-command) removed in favour of - C-c C-v (proof-execute-minibuffer-cmd), which now uses the - filter proof-state-preserving-p to check that a command is safe. - -* Terminal string now automatically added to command for C-c C-v - -* [XEmacs only] - New function control-button1 (proof-mouse-track-insert) copies - individual commands (highlighted regions) from an open proof. - When a proof is closed, it behaves as mouse-track-insert - (the default XEmacs behaviour of control-button1). - -* Switching scripting buffers is now more flexible. - When scripting is turned off in a partly-finished buffer, - the user is prompted whether to retract or process the buffer. - Automatic retraction or completion can be selected by - configuring the option proof-auto-action-when-deactivating-scripting. - (To be compatible with the file operations in a proof assistant, - Proof General only allows completely processed or completely - unprocessed scripts in non-active buffers). - -* New function C-c C-s (proof-toggle-active-scripting) to switch - scripting on or off in current buffer. This is a handy way to - discard or finish off scripting in an unfinished buffer - triggering the deactivation mechanism mentioned above. - Switching on scripting in a buffer may cause the proof - assistant to load files it depends on, so it is also handy - to see what happens before scripting begins in the buffer. - -* Proof by pointing has been re-enabled in the code. - LEGO's implementation of the proof-by-pointing rule choices - is dodgy, but works sometimes, and it is nice to demonstrate - Proof General's support for pbp until another prover implements - it. (It should be relatively straightforward to implement for Coq, - since the CtCoq pbp code is now embedded in the core system; we need - a Coq expert to do this). - -* Cleaned up example files so all demonstrate same theorem "conj_comms". - Would be nice to add more theorems to compare scripts/proofs in - different systems. Please send in example scripts! - -* Shorter buffer names for convenience. - -* Removed transparent gif (text logo) from splash screen - because XEmacs can't display it nicely. - -* Documentation updates. - - Coq Changes ----------- -* Set proof-{qed,save}-commands so the toolbar functions work. - -* Generic command C-c C-f (proof-find-theorems) replaces Coq - specific command C-c C-s (coq-Search). - - LEGO Changes ------------ -* Proofs which have no save command are now closed off automatically - when another command arrives, so undo-redo is more flexible. - Isabelle and Isar Changes ------------------------- -* Several tweaks for input syntax. - -* Recognize goals of the old form val prems = goal ... - and saves of the old form val thm = result. - -* Proofs which are "unfinished", i.e. have no qed or result, - are now closed off automatically, mirroring the behaviour - of Isabelle. This does not apply to Isar. - -* Confusing display of only last error is fixed: multiple - error messages are now coalesced properly. - - Only in the developers' release ------------------------------- @@ -159,58 +27,3 @@ Only in the developers' release Internal changes for developers to note --------------------------------------- -* x-symbol support has been made generic. See documentation - and proof-config.el. - -* Many robustness improvements so that Proof General fails - gracefully when certain configuration settings are unset. - The aim is to make it easier to adapt to new proof - assistants. - -* A new setting proof-completed-proof-behaviour allows for - more flexible ways of managing goal...save regions, including - automatically closing them when the first command after - the proof is completed arrives. This means we can handle - proof assistants which do not have an explicit save command - now. See the documentation of proof-completed-proof-behaviour. - -* Renamed several configuration variables for uniformity. - Check the ChangeLog for details. - -* Speed optimizations for the proof-shell-filter, to attempt - to give more CPU to a hungry and noisy proof process. - To help with this there is a new configuration variable - proof-shell-eager-annotation-start-length. - -* proof-site now does nothing if it has already been loaded. - Previously it would load again, possibly altering settings. - -* Multiple file handling improvements: - Added proof-shell-inform-file-processed-cmd setting to - tell the prover about files which are processed completely - inside Proof General. - This is called when scripting is turned off inside a completely - processed buffer. - Added proof-shell-inform-file-retracted-cmd setting for - symmetric case: to tell the prover when files which are to be - considered *not* completely processed inside Proof General. - The is called when scripting is turned on inside a completely - processed buffer (as the conceptual state of the buffer changes - to partly-processed). - -* proof-shell-leave-annotations-in-output variable has been added. - This allows quick and dirty mark up of output from the proof - assistant using special characters with codes above 128 and - font-lock. Such characters are removed from display in the - output buffers. - However, it is NOT recommended to use this mechanism heavily, - because the entire mechanism of using 8 bit character codes as - "special" characters is fragile and needs replacing in future - versions of Proof General! - -* proof-font-lock-zap-commas has been added to control whether - or not the excrutiating font-lock hack to unhighlight commas - is enabled. - -* Many code cleanups and improvements. - |
