Dear all,
I am happy to announce the second release of Wikidata Toolkit [1], the Java library for programming with Wikidata and Wikibase. This release fixes bugs and improves features of the first release (download, parse, process Wikidata exports) and it adds new components for serializing JSON and RDF exports for Wikidata. A separate announcement regarding the RDF exports will be sent shortly.
Maven users can get the library directly from Maven Central (see [1]); this is the preferred method of installation. There is also an all-in-one JAR at github [2] and of course the sources [3].
Version 0.2.0 is still in alpha. For the next release, we will focus on the following tasks:
* Faster loading of Wikibase dumps + support for the new JSON format that will be used in the dumps soon * Support for storing and querying data after loading it * Initial steps towards storing data in a binary format after loading it
Feedback is welcome. Developers are also invited to contribute via github.
Cheers,
Markus

Excellent work Markus. Your tools are helping me to debunk bad science the world over[1]. Keep up the great work.

PS. By the way, if you do stack overflow you may want to chime in on this purpose-built question[2].

I lost my account when my OpenId-provider ClaimId stopped providing OpenIds ... if anybody knows how to recover these ids, drop me a line :-p
