Dear CSL community!

I’m proud to announce the next version of citeproc-java. Version 0.6  
comes with cool new features and improved performance:

[http://michel-kraemer.github.io/citeproc-java/](http://michel-kraemer.github.io/citeproc-java/)

The highlights in this release are:

- The binary distribution of citeproc-java contains a command  
line tool [1] that can be used to generate citations and  
bibliographies without setting up a complete development  
environment. Just download and extract the zip file and then  
run `citeproc-java -b references.bib -s ieee’ to create a  
bibliography in ieee style for your BibTeX input file. This  
feature makes the library very useful even for non-programmers.
- The new Mendeley connector [2] allows you to use documents stored  
in Mendeley Web as input for citations and bibliographies.  
Of course this feature also works on the command line.
- The library has been tested with the CSL test suite. All  
750+ tests run successfully! I put a lot of work into this  
to bring citeproc-java on par with other CSL processors.

Of course, under the hood the library uses citeproc-js. Without this it  
wouldn’t have been possible to implement all these features! Kudos go to  
Frank Bennett and all contributors for their great work!

Because all 750+ tests from the CSL test suite and also more than 80  
additional tests run successfully I consider citeproc-java very stable.  
I put it out as 0.6 because I might be adding more features in the  
future. Stay tuned!

Any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers,  
Michel

Congratulations on the release Michel and thanks for including Mendeley  
integration! We’ll forward this on to the platform/API teams here as they  
may also find it interesting.

Regards,  
Rob.
