The first release candidate in the Pellet 1.5 series is available for download. Notable enhancements since the 1.4 release (in March) include significant optimizations within the concept classifier (which we’ve mentioned before), axiom tracing to provide justification for arbitrary inferences, and preliminary support for incremental reasoning. We’ve also been able to resolve a collection of miscellaneous bugs. For more details on the release, you can see the announcement in the pellet-users list archives.
Also of note, if you take a look at the new Pellet site you’ll notice we’ve done quite a bit of work expanding the Pellet FAQ content. Maybe we finally got to that question that you’ve always wondered about but never asked.
Finally, remember, this is a release candidate for a reason. We think it’s great, but we’re looking for feedback and bug reports. Pellet is successful as a software project because we get high quality feedback from its users. If you find an issue, browse the public issue tracker for more information and let us know about it on the pellet-users list.
