<span style="font-weight:bold; font-size:22px;">Protege 4.0 moves to beta -- August 22nd, 2008</span>

Protege 4.0 has been in development in parallel with the Protege 3.x series for approximately 2.5 years. Initial alpha versions were developed by the [http://www.co-ode.org/about/ CO-ODE team] and it is now under active development by CO-ODE, [http://protege.stanford.edu/aboutus/aboutus.html Stanford's Protege team], and several other developers. A considerable amount of work has gone into stabilization of the current tool and we are very pleased to move from alpha to beta status.

<h2>What's next?</h2>
We will be working during the next few weeks to update the [http://protege.stanford.edu/ main Protege website] and [[Main_Page|Protege Wiki]] to clarify which documentation refers to version 4.0 beta versus previous versions of Protege.

We are '''very interested in your feedback''' on both the application and the documentation. You can contact us via the [http://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/p4-feedback Protege 4 mailing list].

Also, please keep an eye on [[Protege4UserDocs#Protege_4_Status|Protege 4 status section]] of this wiki.

<h2>Why are there two versions of Protege in beta (3.4 and 4.0)?</h2>
Protege 3.4 is currently in beta, but getting close to a final stable release that will continue to be the foundation for Frames users and a robust platform for OWL1.0.

For recommendations about which version of Protege to use and a high level comparison please see this discussion.

+Our plans to deploy an official Protege 3.4 release are running a bit behind schedule...  Originally, 3.4 was slated to be released in the summer of 2008, but it will now most likely be in early October.  When released, Protege 3.4 will continue to be the foundation for Protege-Frames users and a robust platform for OWL 1.0.
