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 8.16.1 with an updated package collection which is as much as possible compatible with the new 8.17.1 release package pick
  • Coq 8.16.1 with the first package collection from September 2022
  • Coq 8.15.2 with an updated package collection from September 2022 - this package pick is made to be as 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 - this package pick is made to be as compatible as possible with the 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 - this package pick is made to be as 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 8.17.1 version with the new 2023.08 package collection is available as installer 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

  • Note on bugfix release 2023.03.1: this bugfix release only applies to snap. The snap release has been updated. Since Windows and macOS are not affected, the original 2023.03.0 installers are kept.

  • 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 has been tested by users on Apple silicon (M1), but we have no means to run CI tests on Apple silicon (yet), so this is not officially supported. We appreciate bug reports for Apple silicon, but we will ask you for help fixing them.

  • 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 (that is, use it as replacement for auto) 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 is currently not included on Windows cause of path length issues. One can build it if one is careful about the length of the root path (C:\bin\cygwincoq works if the Windows user name is no more than 10 characters)

  • 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 2023.08 pick of Coq 8.17.1 for macOS, Windows and Linux (snap). The macOS and Windows installers can be downloaded below. The snap package is available via snapcraft.
