Rodin Platform 2.1 Release Notes
What's New in Rodin 2.1?
- General Interface
- Improved general platform performance. One of the main task of the scheduled future work, concerning the maintenance and evolution of Rodin, is to increase the platform's performances. Investigation has started and some early enhancements are already part of this release which affect the overall performance of the platform.
- See: Rodin Performances
- New mechanism for automatic tactics preferences. It is now possible to define profiles (e.g. ordered lists) of tactics to be used in post or automatic tactics at both workspace and/or project level. A mechanism is also provided in order to export and share these profiles.
- See: How to use it and the page on the work done about Preferences for the automatic tactics
- Proving
- New automatic rewriting rules. Over 150 automatic rewriting rules have been added, making it easier to discharge proof obligations.
- See: All_Rewrite_Rules
- New proving interface. The proving interface now uses other graphical components to enhance the interactive proving performance and avoid bugs related to large model proving.
Display hypotheses and search for hypotheses is now at least up to 10 times faster!
Requirements
- 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.
