General information

See README for general information and installation of Coq Platform.

See Charter for the concept and goals of Coq Platform.

See CEP52 for the Coq and Coq Platform release cycle.

See macOS, Linux and Windows for detailed installation and usage instructions.

Major enhancements

Two release package picks for Coq 8.18.0 are included with an updated package list. No new packages have been added - this will be done in a soon to follow minor release. The two releases support MathComp 1.18 and MathComp 2.1 respectively. The reasons for providing two picks this time are that it might be a larger step to move from MC 1.18 to 2.1 and because, at the time of picking, one package (mathcomp-analysis) was not yet ported to MC 2.1 (it is at time of this release).

Included Versions of Coq

Recommended Coq version

Compatibility Coq versions

The compatibility versions are intended to help porting packages from an older to the latest release. They can be installed in parallel with other versions of Coq (Coq Platform will create separate opam switches for each Coq version).

  • Coq 8.17.1 with the first package collection from August 2023
  • Coq 8.16.1 with an updated package collection from August 2023 which is as much as possible compatible with the first 8.17.1 package collection
  • Coq 8.16.1 with the first package collection from September 2022
  • Coq 8.15.2 with an updated package collection from September 2022 which is as much as possible compatible as possible with the first 8.16.1 package collection
  • Coq 8.15.2 with the first package collection from April 2022
  • Coq 8.14.1 with an updated package collection from April 2022 which is as much as possible compatible as possible with the first 8.15.2 package collection
  • Coq 8.14.1 with the first package collection from January 2022
  • Coq 8.13.2 with an updated package collection from January 2022 which is as much as possible compatible as possible with the first 8.14.1 package collection
  • Coq 8.13.2 with an updated package collection from September 2021
  • Coq 8.13.2 with the original package collection from February 2021
  • Coq 8.12.2 with the same package collection as the 8.12.2 Coq Platform release

Only the 8.18.0 version with the MC 1.18 and MC 2.1 based package collections are available as installers for macOS and Windows and Snap package. Other versions can be installed using the Coq Platform scripts or the binary installers from previous Platform releases.

Notes

  • Notes on the macOS installer: Because the application is signed but not "notarized", it won't open by default, unless you right-click the application in Finder and chose Open. Cf. #51 to learn more. The installer is now designed to be compatible down to macOS 10.13, but this is not much tested. We appreciate bug reports for 10.X macOS versions, but we will ask you for help fixing them.

  • Notes on Apple ARM silicon: Coq Platform is now fully supported on Apple ARM silicon.

  • Notes on Windows Cygwin environment: In the Cygwin setup created by the "compile from sources" scripts on Windows, the path structure changed, so that packages relying on dune - which tends to use rather long paths for intermediate files - work better. The opam root path is now /opam instead of /home/<user>/.opam. This saves some 10 characters and notably makes the path name independent of the user name. The platform root folder is now /platform instead of /home/<user>/platform.

  • Notes on CoqHammer: The proof generation component of CoqHammer is available on macOS and Linux only. The CoqHammer tactics, which reconstruct generated proofs, do work on Windows, though. Since the CoqHammer tactic running on macOS and Linux creates simple and fast Coq tactic call snippets which are intended to replace the slow generator tactics, it is possible to use the auto generated tactics on Windows as well. Also you can manually write CoqHammer tactic calls on Windows.

  • Note on QuickChick: QuickChick requires an OCaml compiler to run. The binary installers for Coq Platform do not provide OCaml, so QuickChick does not work with the binary installers for macOS, Windows and Snap. It is recommended to use the "compile from sources" method if you want to use QuickChick. An alternative method is to install OCaml by other means and have it in the PATH, but this method is not supported by the Coq Platform team. We plan to add an OCaml compiler to the binary installers in a future release.

  • Note on SerAPI: The SerAPI executables like sertop require that either the COQLIB environment variable is exported or a --coqlib=${coqc -where} or similar option is given. Other Coq tools like coqc determine the Coq library path from the binary location, but sertop does not (yet).

  • Note on SerAPI on Windows: The package has been added back on Windows after some restructuring of paths (see above)

  • Note on coq_makefile on Windows: The Windows installers don't supply make because make is quite limited without a posix shell. An addon is supplied which contains a Windows native gnumake and a patched template file for coq_makefile which allows to use coq_makefile and gnumake with CMD as shell.

Installers

Binary installers are provided for the 2023.11 and mc2 pick for Coq 8.18.0. The Windows installers can be downloaded below. The MacOS installers and snap packages are still in signing / publishing and will be available soon.
