Protege 4.2 Beta
We are pleased to announce Protege 4.2 beta! The main thrust of the 4.2 series will be the roll out of several new plug-ins, including an ontology difference tool, enhanced explanation support, client-server capabilities, support for code generation, and a database back-end. Please contact us via the Protege 4 mailing list with questions, feedback, and bug reports.

Release Notes
The contents of the release notes section describe changes relative to Protege 4.1 and Protege 4.2 alpha.
Build 269 -- March 21, 2012
- Introduced a new explanation plug-in in addition to the existing basic explanation plug-in provided in previous releases. The new explanation plug-in, referred to as "Justification Based Explanation", will generate multiple explanations for a single inference, will sort the explanation to be more readable, and can generate laconic explanations (laconic justifications). The plug-in can also generate explanations for inconsistent ontologies (previous releases only included an ad-hoc tool, which in some cases was unable to find any explanation for a problem).
- Fixed a bug that could cause Protege to crash during start-up.
Build 265 -- March 14, 2012
- Improved the user interface for the Active Ontology tab so that the ontology name and version are much more prominent, thereby encouraging users to set versions when appropriate.
- Launching the Protege application now opens an empty ontology instead of a welcome screen. This is part of a broader effort to align Protege's behavior with common document editing tools, e.g., opening Microsoft Word presents users with a blank document.
- Added support for Java code generation. Available from Tools | Generate Protege-OWL Java Code.
- Protege no longer requires administrative privileges to run on Windows machines. Please note the exception that downloading new plug-ins will still require Protege to be run in administrative mode.
