We are pleased to announce that the first beta build of Protege 4.1 is 
available on our website:

http://protege.stanford.edu/download/registered.html#p4.1

We strongly recommend that users of the 4.0.* series of Protege upgrade 
to this latest 4.1 beta release, as Protege 4.0.2 does not provide 
complete support for the OWL 2 language specification.

Release Notes
---------------
- Users now have more control over the ontology repository mechanism 
(XML Catalog).  In order to grant more user control, we had to rename 
ontology repositories from catalog.xml to catalog-v001.xml.  All 
automatic updates of this file by Protege, e.g., scans of directories to 
determine possible imports, are now optional.

- The OntoGraf visualization plug-in [1] is now bundled with the default 
installation. OntoGraf is accessible as a tab via the Tabs menu, or as a 
view via the Views | Class views menu. Thanks go to Sean Falconer [2] 
for this contribution.

- Fixed a bug that caused the list of active ontologies to be incomplete 
in some cases.

- Fixed a bug that prevented SWRL built-ins with variable numbers of 
arguments from being used.

- Assertions that an individual has a certain type can now be deleted 
from the class description panel for said type.

- Fixed a bug that in some cases caused a case-insensitive search to be 
case-sensitive.

- Fixed a problem with the platform independent installer that caused 
empty program groups on Windows 7.

- Fixed a problem that prevented the uninstaller from working properly 
on 64-bit Windows 7 machines.

- Modified the platform independent installer program to add a new item 
to the program group on Windows called "Protege (advanced start)". 
Clicking on this program group item will launch Protege using the 
"run.bat" file in the root directory of the Protege installation.

An online version of this beta announcement is available on our wiki [3].

Best Regards,
The Protege Team
