qTwitter 0.8.3: for saving resources
August 9th, 2009
Just a note here, since QOAuth was updated to 1.0 and its API changed almost completely, there was a need to change how it’s used inside qTwitter. By the way I fixed an issue with sysmacros.h (#56) that might have occurred on some configurations, and also fixed the statuses updating when closing settings dialog. Settings dialog now triggers lists refresh only when the accounts were changed. It worked some versions ago, but then stopped with changes I’ve been applying over time, and I was reluctant (namely, too lazy :P) to fix it.
I’d really like it to be the last release before 0.9, so that I could now concentrate on messing with the code to extend functionality, and not having to constantly update qTwitter in order to follow changes in Twitter’s OAuth authorization (like it was for 0.8.1 and 0.8.2). qTwitter 0.8.3 is here and, as I said, requires QOAuth 1.0 from here. Hopefully my packages work :P

And what about ‘Reply’? It’s just put @username and doesn’t refer to original post.

Oh, thanks for pointing this out. It somehow must have stopped working at some point of time. However it still works for Identi.ca. Anyway, I’ll investigate this. Feel free to file a bug at lighthouseapp.com.

when i tried to login in twitter,twitter hinted ” Woah there! This page is no longer valid. It looks like someone already used the token information you provided. Please return to the site that sent you to this page and try again … it was probably an honest mistake. ”
love qtwitter,thanks a lot.

@Yunkwan:
you don’t have qca2-ossl plugin installed. That’s why HMAC signing algorithm is not supported. Do you compile qtwitter form source? If you use packages, which distribution do you use? qca2-ossl is a plugin, not required to build qoauth and qtwitter, but it’s required for them to run :)
@oowei:
this is caused probably by Twitter itself. Sometimes the values returned to request the login page are incorrect or missing. In most cases it works the second time when you click ‘Allow qTwitter access’ button.
