-New: <b>HOL Proof General</b>!
-It took me only a couple of hours to add a basic instantiation of
-ProofGeneral for
-<a href="http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/Researc/HVG/HOL/HOL.html">HOL98</a>.
-Most of this time was in trying to find out how to do things in HOL,
-I could have done with a HOL user to hand. But I thought it was high time
-HOL got a look-in.
+A minor patch to Proof General 3.1 is released today. To check what
+version you have, look at the variable <tt>proof-general-version</tt>
+set in <tt>proof-site.el</tt>. (It is not recorded in the tar file
+name or package version). The current patch, to 3.1.3, was made to
+fix a problem with Isabelle and theory file retraction, accidently
+introduced in 3.1. See <?php
+fileshow("ProofGeneral-3.1-devel/etc/release-log.txt","the developer's
+release log"); ?> for details.
</p>
<p>
-HOL Proof General provides script management support, automatic
-multiple files, decoration of proof scripts and output.
-Character-sequence X Symbols as in Coq and LEGO. Although this is a
-basic feature set for Proof General, the result is still an enormous
-improvement over shell interaction.
-</p>
-<p>
-My hope is to entice HOL users so that one of them may improve HOL
-Proof General. I don't plan to maintain or seriously improve this
-instantiation myself.
+Further improvements are being introduced in the new 3.2 pre-releases,
+see the
+<a href="develdownload.phtml">development download</a> page, as usual.
</p>

-I plan to apply for funding to continue managing the evolution
-and development of Proof General, once my own job position

-Now is the time to flesh out ideas
-for the future!
-Check the development page for the
-latest proposals. These include some desirable contributions
-which could be undertaken as self-contained projects.

-Countdown to Proof General 3.1 begins. This will be a bug fix releaase.
-A few bugs have been fixed in

-for raising it to my attention). I would like to release PG 3.1 next
