ArXiv new format starting April 1st

kulnor
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.
