What's New in Rodin 2.0?
- 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.
- Modelling
- Mathematical Extensions. Rodin was extended to allow definition of basic predicates, new operators or new algebraic types.
- 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.
- 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.
- See also: Proof Obligation Commands
- 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 for plug-in developpers.
- See: Migration to Eclipse 3.6
- 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 IFormulaInspector<F> 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
TODO: Inform here of some specific system requirements (version of Java, etc).
- It is recommended to run the Rodin platform with a Java 1.6 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)
- 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.
Incompatibilities between Rodin 1.x and Rodin 2.0
For Rodin 1.x users
- 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, and vice-versa.
For Rodin 1.x plugin developers
- This part lists the incompatibilities encountered when migrating from Rodin 1.x to Rodin 2.0.
Migrating to JVM 1.6
Plugin developers should be aware of possibly occurring issues when migrating from the JVM 1.5 to the JVM 1.6.
A typical example that could produce errors or an unwanted behaviour, is to compare the inlined result of a HashMap with hard-coded values (for example, a string).
Action required : Set the JVM used by the plugin to the 1.6 version, and then check and modify if necessary, the code which produces or could produce errors.
External plug-ins
TODO: Describe here the available plug-ins, and the supported versions for this release.
Downloading
TODO: Add here a link to download the platform.
Fixed Bugs
TODO: Add here a list of the fixed bugs.
Known Issues
TODO: Add here a link to the SourceForge Bugs page, after filtering bugs (Assignee Any, Status Open, Category Any, Group 1.2).
