Issue with local API [Zotero 8]

First, a huge congrats on the release!

My issue: I am using the following URL to make a call to the local API:
http://localhost:23119/api/users/0/items/${itemKey}?format=json&include=bib,citation&style=${style}

It worked fine in the previous version. In version 8, it seems like the citation section is returning not only the current citation but all the previous citations since launching the app. After a restart, it still accumulates citations, but only the ones since the restart.

Out of curiosity --- does this happen with every citation style?

I tried a few, and it happens with all of them. Changing the style also triggers a resets. So on the first one it is just that one … but then citations accumulate with a <br /> in between.

Fixed now in the latest Zotero beta, and the fix will be included in 8.0.1 soon. Thanks for the report.
