Pellet 2.0 RC7: The SemTech 2009 Release

by Mike Smith

In anticipation of our Pellet tutorial at the Semantic Technology Conference next week, we’ve made a new release candidate for Pellet 2.0 available for download. Pellet 2.0 RC7 improves on previous releases by resolving several exception-causing bugs reported by users, improving the lint tool’s support for the OWL 2 specification, and enhancing the inference explanation command line tool. The release also includes an update to Jena 2.6. This change is mostly backwards compatible for users with older Jena versions, but users depending on SPARQL query will need Jena 2.6. All of these changes are described in a Pellet Trac report.

Pellet Reasoner Plug-in for Protégé 4 has also been updated. Existing users should be prompted for an automatic upgrade to plug-in version 0.9.3.

Please continue to send your bug reports to the Pellet users mailing list. As always, you can influence the future of Pellet by contacting us to start a support relationship.
