There's a new beta build available on our Web site:

http://protege.stanford.edu/download/prerelease/full/
http://protege.stanford.edu/download/prerelease/basic/

Sharp-eyed Protege users may note some UI changes in this beta.  The UI 
work is ongoing and the colors and icons can be expected to change in 
coming betas.  As far as we know, no functionality has been lost in this 
work but in a number of cases some information is temporarily more 
difficult to access. We will address this problem in later betas.

Please let us know if you find 2.X functionality that is missing or if 
things are clearly broken somewhere (the "Ugly Icon" shows up, for 
example). Don't worry too much about mismatched schemes though...

Changes
-------------
1. Fixed a problem with the RDF back-end writing out invalid XML tag names 
for classes.

2. Fixed a problem that caused exceptions when database table values are null.

3. Fixed a problem with Generate HTML if more than one root is specified.

4. Fixed a problem with writing to a database from the Mac.

5. Added the ability to save the contents of the Graph Widget to a JPG.

6. Added a method to the Graph Widget called getPositionInfo which makes it 
much easier to access position information for nodes.

7. Fixed a problem with PluginUtilities using the wrong class loader when 
Protege is run by another application that uses its own class loader (e.g. 
Eclipse).

8. The system now prints out plug-in names in addition to plug-in directories.

9. The HTML generator writes out classes sorted alphabetically.
