ArXiv new format starting April 1st

AS of today (April 1st) (this is not a joke), ArXiv.org has switched to a new format for the document identifier.
See http://arxiv.org/new/
and http://arxiv.org/help/arxiv_identifier#new
This seems to cause a problem as I can't no longer seem to record citation in Zotero. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
thanks

  • Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention. We will update the arXiv.org translator shortly.
  • The updated arXiv.org translator is now available.
  • I am still having problems using zotero with the new arXiv.org layout. When clicking the yellow folder in the address bar I can choose an entry from the list, but when I click "save" I get the message: "An error occured while saving this item". I have (I believe) the latest version of zotero

    nr 1.0.0b4.r2.r1365

    do I have to download the updated translator?
    Please keep up the good work! This program is clearly the best plugin to FireFox ever!
  • How do I get the new translator?
    BTW, I really like this extension.

    The earlier problem noted by kulnor was unrelated to arxiv's new format and was solved over the weekend. Now it appears that arxiv's OAI-PMH back-end is down. Once it is back up, we'll be able to test their new format and make sure that everything is working again. We hope to have a fix soon.
  • Our problems with arxiv.org have been solved. The new translator is available immediately.
  • How do we obtain the new translator?
  • I updated the scrapers from the zotero preferences menu, and when I got to new arxiv entries I still don't get the icon in the address bar.

    any help would be greatly appreciated.
