What's New in Rodin 2.3?

  • General Interface
Memory performance improvement: projects now require less memory to build (some projects that required 1200 Mo now build with less than 512 Mo).
  • Modelling
Warnings are produced by the builder when unknown configurations are encountered. It helps knowing which plug-ins are missing when a build fails.
Error is produced by the builder when no known configuration is found for a file.
  • Proving
Advanced Profile Customisation: a tactic profile can now be a parameterization of a tactic (timeout, ...), or a combination of tactics and profiles (see Preferences_for_the_automatic_tactics).
NOTE: this new feature involves internal changes in preference storage; these changes are backward compatible (one can reuse tactic preferences from Rodin 2.2.x in Rodin 2.3) but NOT forward compatible: tactic preferences from Rodin 2.3 cannot be reused with Rodin less than 2.3. Hence the necessity to backup your workspaces (consider you cannot switch back your workspace and exported projects to Rodin < 2.3 after using them with Rodin 2.3).
New rules implemented, concerning membership in goal, function overridden by maplet (auto), EQL_LR applied at a single position (manual), Generalised Modus Ponens (auto)
  • Changes for plugin-developers
switch to Eclipse 3.7
new extension points are available to contribute tactic parameterizers (org.eventb.core.seqprover/schema/tacticParameterizers.exsd) and tactic combinators (org.eventb.core.seqprover/schema/tacticCombinators.exsd).

Requirements

  • Configuration
    • 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
  • 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 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 here.
  • 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); xulrunner-1.9.x must be installed.

Downloading

TODO: Add here a link to download the platform.
