We are pleased to announce availability of the first alpha build of 
Protege 3.5:

http://protege.stanford.edu/download/registered.html#p3.5

Release Notes
---------------------
The SWRLTab <http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTab> now 
supports the Drools <http://www.jboss.org/drools> rule engine, thus 
providing a completely free and open source solution for executing SWRL 
rules in Protege-OWL's SWRLTab.

A new tab called the SWRLDroolsTab 
<http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLDroolsTab> provides a 
graphical interface for interacting with this implementation. The 
existing SWRLJessTab 
<http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLJessTab> is still 
available. All existing SWRL built-in libraries 
<http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabBuiltInLibraries> are 
supported in the Drools implementation.

Both the Drools and Jess implementations now use a pair of OWL 2 
RL-based <http://www.w3.org/TR/owl2-profiles/#OWL_2_RL> reasoners for 
performing inference (read more 
<http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabOWL2RL>). These 
reasoners are also used by the SQWRL 
<http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SQWRL> query language.

The Java APIs provided by the SWRLTab have changed slightly so users of 
these APIs will need to update their code. Information on these changes 
can be found here 
<http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabAPIUpdating>. The 
process of building the SWRLTab and its associated rule engines has also 
changed. The new build process is outlined here 
<http://protege.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SWRLTabBuilding>.

On online version of these release notes is available 
<http://protegewiki.stanford.edu/wiki/Protege_3.5_Alpha_Release_Notes> 
on our wiki.

Best Regards,
The Protege Team
