@ -5,14 +5,40 @@ Version 4.5.0
- New features:
- New theories of strings and sequences.
- Incremental consequence finder for finite domains.
- Consequence finding API "get-consequences" to compute
set of consequences modulo hard constraints and set of
assumptions. Optimized implementations provided for finite
domains (QF_FD) and for most SMT logics.
- CMake build system (thanks @delcypher).
- New API functions, including accessing assertions, parsing SMT-LIB benchmarks.
- Updated and improved OCaml API (thanks @martin-neuhaeusser).
- Updated and improved Java API (thanks @cheshire).
- New resource limit facilities to avoid non-deterministic timeout behaviour.
- New bit-vector simplification and ackermannization tactics (thanks @MikolasJanota, @nunoplopes).
- QSAT: a new solver for quantified arithmetic problems. See:
Bjorner, Janota: Playing with Quantified Satisfaction, LPAR 2016.
You can enable it from the command-line using the switch rlimit=<numeral>.
- New bit-vector simplification and ackermannization
tactics (thanks @MikolasJanota, @nunoplopes).
- QSAT: a new solver for satisfiability of quantified arithmetic formulas.
See: Bjorner, Janota: Playing with Quantified Satisfaction, LPAR 2016.
This is the new default solver for logics LIA, LRA, NRA. It furthermore
can be applied as a tactic on quantified formulas using algebraic
data-types (but excluding selector sub-terms because Z3 does not
specify the semantics of applying a selector to a non-matching
constructor term).
- A specialized logic QF_FD and associated incremental solver
(that supports push/pop).
The QF_FD domain comprises of bit-vectors, enumeration data-types
used only in equalities, and bounded integers: Integers used in
QF_FD problems have to be constrained by a finite bound.
- Queries in the fixedpoint engine are now function symbols and not
formulas with free variables. This makes the association of
free variables in the answers unambiguous. To emulate queries
over compound formulas, introduce a fresh predicate whose
arguments are the relevant free variables in the formula and add a rule
that uses the fresh predicate in the head and formula in the body.
- minimization of unsat cores is avaialble as an option for the SAT and SMT cores.
By setting smt.core.minimize=true resp. sat.core.minimize=true
cores produced by these modules are minimized.
- A multitude of bugs has been fixed.
