Ok, so at least two different standalone versions seem to be available:

1. via "project page" on sourceforge; looking inside the downloaded zip,
   this seems to be version 0.9

2. via developer github page, version 0.11.

On the github page there is a discussion indicating that a clojure
version will _not_ be forthcoming after all. The author also states that
(s)he is no longer interested in maintaining ditaa:

Trying to avoid binaries from "weird" sources probably just adds a sense
of false security. Sometimes false security is the best you can get.

Have fun and stay safe,
