I am pleased to announce this 1.4.0 release of Tawny-OWL. It is with some surprise that I find that it is about 8 months since the last release, which is indicative of the relatively stable state of Tawny.

The main addition to this release has been further support for patterns, which now include what I am calling “facets”, as well as some general functions for grouping the entities created using a pattern with annotations. I have had a lot of discussion about the implementation of this feature and that it should be useful in practice.

The main motivation behind making this release now is the development of a Tawny Tutorial for ICBO 2015. The features are stable for the release are stable, so the release has not been rushed out the door, but I wanted to use them in the tutorial as they really simplify some aspects.

Tawny-OWL 1.4.0 is now available on Clojars.
