Protégé 5.6.0-beta-1

Protégé 5.6.0-beta-1

This is beta-1 version of the next major Protégé release, 5.6.0. It is not ready for public use yet – please only use it if you’re willing to help us test the new release and detect any serious problem that would prevent you from working with that release.

New features

• Support for ODK-style -idranges.owl policy files. If such a file is detected alongside the ontology to edit, Protégé will try to use the informations from that file to automatically set the prefix and identifiers range.

Other significant changes

• The OS X package can now run natively on arm64 CPUs, instead of relying on x86_64 emulation. This should improve Protégé’s performances on M1-powered Apple computers.
• Migrated to Java 11.
• Migrated to OWL API 4.5.22.

Bug fixes

• Save files using format-specific extensions (protegeproject/protege#1016)
• Avoid freezing the UI when an ontology is inconsistent (protegeproject/protege#877)
• Fix rendering of labels containing an apostrophe (protegeproject/protege#919)

Other improvements

• Improve the datatype selection box in the literal value editor (protegeproject/protege#856)
• Make deprecated classes hidden by default (protegeproject/protege#797)
• Trim whitespaces in the class expression editor (protegeproject/protege#770)
• Do not force values as boolean (protegeproject/protege#691)
• Disable expression caching (protegeproject/protege#864, protegeproject/protege#637)
• Use most commonly used entity name if name to entity mapping is ambiguous (protegeproject/protege#869)
• Add a “Jump to selection” in class tree (protegeproject/protege#687)
• Add “No to All” option for Resolve Missing Imports dialog (protegeproject/protege#707)
• Add “Instances (Inferred)” view to the default layout of the Individuals by Class tab (protegeproject/protege#583)
• Render DOI, Wikipedia, OMIM, OMIMPS, ORCID, and Orphanet identifiers as links (protegeproject/protege#1049)
