Subject: Proof General --- Version 3.4 release
Announcing Proof General Version 3.4
A Generic Emacs interface for Interactive Proof Assistants
http://www.proofgeneral.org
contact: David Aspinall <da@proofgeneral.org>
Proof General is a generic (X)Emacs interface for proof assistants.
It can be instantiated for the proof assistant of your choice, and is
supplied ready-customised for Isabelle, Coq, LEGO, and PhoX, and,
experimentally, for HOL, Twelf, and ACL2.
Proof General includes these features, amongst others:
. Script management: proof assistant state reflected in editor
. Toolbar and menus: commands for building and replaying proofs
. Syntax highlighting of proof scripts and prover output; hiding proofs
. Display of real logical symbols, greek letters, etc with X-Symbol
. Activation of prover output for subterm navigation, proof-by-pointing
. Simplified communication: proof assistant verbosity hidden
. Menu for jumping to theorems in a proof script
. Provision to easily run proof assistant on a remote host
. Works on any platform Emacs does, in window system or plain console
Summary of changes since 3.3:
. GPL license
. In Isabelle: tracing buffers and active highlighting of variables
. In Coq: much improved synchronization (inc sections, nested proofs)
. Improvements to generic code, instantiation mechanisms.
. Bug fixes
. Compatibility improvements: XEmacs 21.4, Emacs 21.2
For details of changes since 3.3, see
http://www.proofgeneral.org/fileshow.php?file=ProofGeneral-3.4%2FCHANGES
For the latest user manual, see http://www.proofgeneral.org/doc
Proof General needs a recent version of Emacs to run with. Proof
General 3.4 has been tested with XEmacs 21.1 and 21.4, and GNU Emacs
21.2. Older versions of XEmacs may work but are not guaranteed.
Installing Proof General is easy. Why not give it a try?
