Coq

The way Coq processes theory files has been improved. When used as a batch compiler, Coq is now able to decouple the checking of statements and definitions from the checking of proofs. All proofs can be checked independently taking advantage of modern parallel hardware. When used interactively in conjunction with PIDE-based interfaces, Coq is now able to process the document asynchronously by delegating most of the task to external workers.

The Coq build process was also improved to better support the Windows platform and to enable third parties to provide pre-compiled plugins for such platform.
