CSL 1.0.1 is an (almost completely) backwards compatible release, and CSL 1.0 styles and locale files don’t have to be updated to work with CSL 1.0.1-compatible software.

Donations allow us to hire developers for small projects, purchase materials such as the latest style manuals, and support our style repository maintainers.

Over the past few months, Citation Style Language developers have worked to address a backlog of feature requests. This work will be reflected in two upcoming releases.
