Sync Preview and More: Zotero 1.5 Begins Public Testing
We are excited to announce the launch of Zotero 1.5 Sync Preview, which introduces a powerful slate of new features, including:
- Automatic synchronization of collections among multiple computers. For example, sync your PC at work with your Mac laptop and your Linux desktop at home.
- Free automatic backup of your library data on Zotero’s servers.
- Support for thousands of existing Endnote’s export styles. While the CSL styles utilized by Zotero are a much more robust and powerful long-term solution for styling references, we are happy to offer users the ability to use Endnote styles where there are currently no available CSLs.
- A new style manager allowing you to add and delete CSLs and legacy style formats.
- Preliminary support for local sharing of collections through ZeroConf on OS X. Other platforms and full support to come with the final release of Zotero 1.5.
This major milestone for the project requires Firefox 3, so before you try it out be sure to upgrade Firefox as well.
