== What's New in Rodin 2.6? ==
  
See also [[Exporting and importing archives containing theories]].
+
PLANS ARE :
 +
- Theory plug-in in core
 +
- Operator definition / axiomatic definition
 +
- Type instantiation (performed by Systerel)
 +
- Improved structured editor
 +
- Mathematical extension to external provers
  
See also [[Sharing theories]].
 
  
== What's New in Rodin 2.0? ==
 
 
* General Interface
 
* General Interface
:'''Improved Statistic View'''. The statistic view was simplified and unified, to make it clearer and easily resizable and be displayed at first click on every element.
+
{{TODO | ...}}
  
 
* Modelling
 
* Modelling
:'''Mathematical Extensions'''. Rodin was extended to allow definition of basic predicates, new operators or new algebraic types.  
+
{{TODO | ...}}
::See [[Mathematical extensions]]
 
 
 
:'''Better platform's behaviour'''. Some cumbersome behaviours where improved:
 
::- It is now possible to display statistics for a project without expanding it first.
 
::- The view on selected hypotheses is now correctly scrolled to bottom, to display freshly added ones.
 
::- Navigating through proof tree nodes is faster (useless refreshings of search hypotheses where removed to gain performance).
 
 
 
:'''Independent quantified variables with the same name'''. It is now possible to use the same name for quantified variables which are independant.
 
 
 
:'''Improved WD Lemma Generation '''.  The WD Lemma Generation was improved to simplify unnecessarily complicated lemmas.Some old proofs could appear as undischarged, the "Proof Replay on Undischarged POs" commmand will discharge these proofs.
 
:See also: [[Improved WD Lemma Generation]]
 
 
 
:'''Auto-completion in wizards'''. It is now possible to use the auto-completion in the wizards of the modelling perspective.
 
  
 
* Proving
 
* Proving
:'''Project Explorer's Actions now able to run in background'''. The "Proof Replay on Undischarged POs", "Retry Auto Provers" and "Recalculate Auto Status" commands are now able to run in background. The user is allowed to modify his models, and do interactive proving while such commands are running. Note that the "Save" action on interactively proved PO, which is concerned by such a command, might be delayed as concurrency occurs. The "Save" action will then be scheduled as a further task to be performed, and the user will have to wait or cancel the command. Those commands are accessible by right-clicking in the Event-B Explorer.
+
{{TODO | ...}}
:See also: [[Proof Obligation Commands]]
 
 
 
:'''Proof details can now be displayed'''. It is now possible for the user to have a look at what a proof rule really did. A new view, the Rule Details View, was added to the proving perspective to show up the various operations performed by a rule on a proof tree node. It is for example possible, now, to look at instantiated hypotheses, or even, find hypotheses that where removed or hidden by a rule.
 
:See also: [[Rodin_Proving_Perspective#Rule_Details_View]]
 
 
 
:'''Proof Control auto-completion'''. It is now possible to use the auto-completion in the proof control input area.
 
  
 
* Changes for plugin-developers
 
* Changes for plugin-developers
:'''Rodin 2.0 is Helios based'''. Rodin 2.0 is based on the Eclipse 3.6 Helios release. A wiki page has been added to document main improvements that could be of interest to plug-in developpers.
+
{{TODO | ...}}
:See [[#Requirements | Migration to Eclipse 3.6]].
 
 
 
:'''Rodin 2.0 is Java 1.6 based'''.
 
:See [[#Requirements | Migration to Java 6]].
 
 
 
:'''Simplified addition of tactic providers for the proving UI'''. A new attribute ("any") can now be used to describe the tactic providers that both apply on hypotheses and goal (i.e. that have the same behavior for both hypothesis predicates and goal predicate).
 
 
 
:'''A new mechanism to collect informations while traversing formulae'''. The <tt>IFormulaInspector<F></tt> interface has been added and published in order to ease the aggregation of informations (of type F) computed while traversing the AST of a formula. This mechanism replace the old one, where one should retrieve positions where such informations could take place and iterate in a second time on each positions to calculate and accumulate informations.
 
 
 
== Requirements ==
 
 
 
* Reusing your development workspace with 1.6 JVM and Eclipse 3.6 :
 
:Update the compiler settings to be compliant with level 1.6. This can be done in '''Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler'''.
 
 
 
:One also has to check that eclipse no longer use the old JRE and resolved the new JRE.
 
:It can happen after switching to JRE version 1.6, used as the execution environment, that Eclipse no longer links any JRE to be used, hence leading to compiler linking errors.
 
:To check this, go to '''Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs''' and check that the currently used JRE actually points to the JRE 1.6.
 
:Once this operation made, it is needed to perform a '''clean''', '''build''' and '''refresh''' on all the worskpace.
 
 
 
* It is recommended to run the Rodin platform with a Java 6 Runtime Environment.
 
 
 
* Only a 32-bit version of the Rodin platform is provided for PCs.
 
 
 
* Only a 64-bit version of the Rodin platform is provided for MAC.
 
: In other terms, Rodin 2.0 does not support MAC PowerPC / Intel 32-bit based platforms any longer.
 
  
* Migration to Eclipse 3.6 (Helios)
+
== Requirements - Compatibility ==
:Some incompatibilities may arise while moving from Eclipse 3.5 to Eclipse 3.6.
 
:The following page aims to list exhaustively the items to be checked and modified in order to make a plug-in compatible with Rodin 2.0.
 
:See [[Migration to Eclipse 3.6]].
 
  
* Migration to Java 6
+
* Configurations supported (and for which binaries are provided)
:Plugin developers should be aware of possibly occurring issues when migrating from the JVM 1.5 to the JVM 6.
+
** Linux 32-bit
:A typical example that could produce errors or an unwanted behaviour, is to compare the inlined result of a <tt>HashMap</tt> with hard-coded values (eg. a string).
+
** Linux 64-bit
:As a consequence, it is required to set the JVM used by a plug-in to the 6 version, and then check and modify if necessary the code which produces or could potentially lead to errors.
+
** Windows 32-bit
 +
** Windows 64-bit
 +
** Mac 64-bit
  
== Incompatibilities between Rodin 1.x and Rodin 2.0 ==
+
* You need to have a Java JRE (6.0 or later) installed on your computer. The Rodin product will not work with a previous version. To run Rodin 64-bit, you need a 64-bit JRE.
  
=== For Rodin 1.x users ===
+
* To enhance your proving experience, the eclipse font settings (size, aspect...) are available from the preferences (General > Appearance > Colors and Fonts > Rodin). These settings allow you to modify the properties set on the Event-B Keyboard Text Font which is used in many views of the Proving UI. However, to enjoy these functionnalities, you need to install the Brave Sans Mono font on your system. You can download this font from the link [http://sourceforge.net/projects/rodin-b-sharp/files/Font_%20Brave%20Sans%20Mono/0.12/ here].
:No incompatibility is introduced when migrating to Rodin 2.0. In other terms, models used within Rodin 1.3 are compatible with Rodin 2.0.
 
  
=== For Rodin 1.x plugin developers ===
+
* Linux: the internal browser does not work with xulrunner-2.0 (for instance, it causes the welcome page to display a link instead of a html page and the '''Pretty Printer''' does not work); xulrunner-1.9.x must be installed.
:This part lists the incompatibilities encountered when migrating from Rodin 1.x to Rodin 2.0.
 
  
* The "2-step" mechanism to get tactic applications from applicable positions (used by old ITacticProvider) is no longer available. In fact, the formerly called ITacticProvider2 interface now supersedes this old interface to become the "official" ITacticProvider interface. Implementors of this interface must provide a single method
+
* Linux 64-bit:
 +
: package ia32-libs (and its dependencies) must be installed.
  
List<ITacticApplication> getPossibleApplications(IProofTreeNode node, Predicate hyp, String globalInput);
+
* Windows 64-bit:
 +
: Atelier B provers work more slowly; it can cause ML to not automatically discharge some sequents that it discharges on windows 32-bit, due to its timeout. A workaround is to download a custom profile: [http://sourceforge.net/projects/rodin-b-sharp/files/DefaultAuto_ML800 DefaultAuto_ML800], then Window > Preferences > Event-B > Sequent Prover > Auto/Post Tactic > Profiles (tab) > Import..., point to the downloaded file, 'Select All' profiles (there are 2), OK. Then in 'Auto/Post Tactic' tab, select 'Default Auto Tactic Profile (ML 800)' profile for auto-tactics. It is the same as the 'Default Auto Tactic Profile', except ML has a longer timeout (800 ms). You can of course change this timeout by editing the 'ML (800)' profile.
 +
: We have not noticed this problem for Linux 64-bit, nor for other platforms; however if you do, the same workaround applies.
  
which gives the list of calculated tactic applications.
+
{{TODO | VERIFY REQUIREMENTS ABOVE}}<br>
 +
{{TODO | Inform here of some specific system requirements (version of Java, etc).}}
  
* misspelling in extension org.eventb.ui/proofTactics/tactic#priorty corrected to priority (i was missing)
+
== External plug-ins ==
: the correction must be made in every extension of this point
+

Since Rodin is continuously maintained, several unsoundness bugs which have been encountered were investigated and fixed. However, despite the total commitment of our teams to insure the soundness of the platform, some unexpected and unknown soundness issues could remain. We would be grateful if you would report these issues to the [mailto:rodin-b-sharp-devel@lists.sourceforge.net development mailing list].

Revision as of 13:55, 30 May 2012

RODIN 2.6 is planned for 31st July, 2012.

N.B. Release notes are commented in this page.
