The most recent update, in 2009, altered the formatting guidelines and therefore rendered existing formatting solutions inadequate. The apa6 class is an update of older code from the apa class (available from CTAN), which is no longer being maintained. New features have also been added, such as suppressing references to one's own work to facilitate masked reviews of manuscripts by independent reviewers. See the documentation for details.
