-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-0508 2012-01-14 03:39:45 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : why Product : Fedora 16 Version : 2.30 Release : 4.fc16 URL : http://why.lri.fr/ Summary : Software verification platform Description : Why is a software verification platform that applies formal proving tools to annotated programs. It is currently capable of analysis of C (through "Frama-C"), Java (through the included tool "Krakatoa"), and potentially ML programs with some modification into Why's own ML-like language. Furthermore, Why is capable of analysis of any program that is mapped onto its own internal language. It uses a weakest precondition involving calculus to generate potential theorems necessary for the proof of a program's correctness. It translates these theorems into formats that can be used by external proof assistants (without any extra work Coq, PVS, HOL Light, and Mizar are supported - having one is recommended and both Coq and PVS are packaged for Fedora) and automated theorem provers (without any extra work Simplify, Alt-Ergo, Yices, Z3, CVC3, and Zenon are supported and Alt-Ergo, CVC3, and Zenon are packaged for Fedora) so that these results can be externally proven, resulting in a proof of program correctness. Note: Each user account must be set up by running "why-config" at the command line (to set up a configuration file). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: A recent update to flocq 2.0.0 broke why's ability to reason about floating point numbers. This build updates why to use the flocq 2.0.0 interface. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Wed Jan 11 2012 Jerry James <[email protected]> - 2.30-4 - Patch to work with flocq 2.0.0 * Tue Dec 6 2011 Jerry James <[email protected]> - 2.30-3 - Update alt_ergo and yices "okay" version numbers * Wed Nov 23 2011 Jerry James <[email protected]> - 2.30-2 - Rebuild with APRON and gappalib-coq support * Fri Oct 28 2011 Jerry James <[email protected]> - 2.30-1 - New upstream release -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program. Use su -c 'yum update why' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/. All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.
