--- thanks. Check files BUGS and <prover>/BUGS first. ---
* Summary of Changes for Proof General 3.5pre from 3.4
** Generic changes
*** Keyboard hints and other messages displayed in minibuffer
Hints for keyboard usage and reporting on file processing are now
displayed in the minibuffer. If you do not like this behaviour,
customize the `pg-show-hints' variable.
*** pre-compiled .elc files: recompile needed for GNU Emacs
Proof General can now be reliably run as compiled code.
>>> Please help remove any final difficulties by reporting problems <<<<
However, compiled Emacs Lisp files sometimes have incompatibilities
between versions (and definitely between GNU Emacs and XEmacs). To
recompile the sources for a particular Emacs version, try:
make clean
make compile
Check the settings in the Makefile for your Emacs version.
*** Bundling of X-Symbol Mode (4.5.1-beta)
!!THIS IS WORK IN PROGRESS, IT MAY WELL BREAK X-SYMBOL FOR YOU!!
[ Currenly should be working in Isabelle, perhaps not other provers ]
To disable use of the bundled version, either delete/move away the
x-symbol subdirectory, or load your own local version first [put
(require 'x-symbol-hooks) in .emacs, or unpack in your own .xemacs
directory].
From now on, PG is not backward compatible with previous X-Symbol
versions. Either upgrade your installed version, or be careful to
load PG first (so that the bundled version of X-Symbol is used).
Notice that the package version of X-Symbol may load itself first by
default during XEmacs startup, so it may be tricky to override. If in
doubt, run with "xemacs -no-site-file -q" first.
*** Bundling of MMM Mode (for multiple modes in one buffer)
MMM mode allows submodes to be used in the same file.
See http://mmm-mode.sourceforge.net/.
At present it is configured for Isar, to allow LaTeX and sml-mode to
be used inside Isar scripts. Contributions of configuration for other
provers welcomed.
*** X-Symbol (and MMM-mode) minor mode behaviour simplified
These minor modes like to be responsible for turning themselves on and
off. PG does not anymore try to synchronise the on/off settings in
all PG buffers (which could lead to half an hour of fontification!).
Instead the menu reflects the current minor mode status; toggling it
will also update the default "global for PG" behaviour for new script
buffers.
*** Movement of cursor on interrupt is disabled
By default, the cursor jumps to the end of the locked region on an
error. Previously it also jumped on an interrupt. This is configurable
via `proof-shell-handle-error-or-interrupt-hook', which see.
*** Automatic slow-down on fast tracing display
Proof General will try to configure itself to update the display of
tracing output infrequently when the prover is producing rapid,
perhaps voluminous, output. This counteracts the situation that
otherwise Emacs may consume more CPU than the proof assistant, trying
to fontify and refresh the display as fast as output appears.
See `proof-trace-output-slow-catchup' for setting.
*** Proof General -> Options menu changes
**** Improvement to options handling
Facility to reset to default values added, and saving
of (just) proof assistant settings.
**** Strict read only added
Strict read only behaviour for the locked (blue) region
can now be enabled/disabled without restarting scripting.
(Output hightlighting option has been removed from this menu,
but is still available under
Advanced -> Customize -> User Options -> ..
**** Deactivate Action added
This setting controls an automatic action when scripting is
deactivated in a partially processed buffer. Ordinarily, PG will
query whether to retract or completely process the file.
One of these can be chosen as a default action.
**** Follow mode: add "followdown" setting
In this mode, the point moves with the locked region when it moves
down in the buffer (processing). For undo, the point does not move.
**** Display management: added shrink-windows-tofit option
This option shrinks and expands the display of prover output,
within reasonable window sizes, when in 2-window mode. It avoids
wasting half the screen with empty space (with the drawback
of moving the boundary up and down).
Available under PG -> Options -> Display -> Shrink To Fit.
*** Add proof-indent-pad-eol setting to prettify locked regions in XEmacs.
This works by adding unnecessary spaces to the end of lines when TAB
is pressed.
*** Parsing internals changed: minor user visible differences
Please report any problems/annoyances which may be unexpected.
NB: Not yet enabled for Isabelle/Isar.
*** Tweaks to menus, colours
Electric terminator menu option more visible.
Reduce contrast for mouse highlighting of regions.
*** Added `proof-shell-identifier-under-mouse-cmd'
Allows PG to conveniently send a command to the prover which passes
the identifier under the mouse, or the active region, as an argument.
Bound globally to Control-Meta-Mouse-button1.
Presently only configured in Isabelle/Isar, to parse terms (inside
strings) and theorems (outside).
** GNU Emacs compatibility, simplified font-lock, handling nested comments
*** Numerous improvements, thanks due to Stefan Monnier.
*** Some GNU Emacs backwards compatibility removed: use 21.1 or later
*** PROBLEMS REMAINING: Menu problems currently on 21.2, may affect loading.
Temp fix: turn on mode manually first in *scratch* buffer, then
visit file.
** Changes for Isabelle
Beginnings of support PGIP protocol (work in progress with Isabelle
2003). Presently allows Isabelle to configure Proof General prover
settings menu.
Backward compatibility may not be maintained: it's simply too much
effort. This means that if you upgrade your Emacs version, which
forces you to upgrade Proof General because Emacs upgrades usually
break Proof General (Emacs authors pay little heed to maintaining
APIs), then you may have to upgrade your Isabelle version as well.
