qTwitter 0.9.0: all hail StatusNet

September 11th, 2009

New qTwitter is here. This time it was (again) about rewriting some significant part of code, all of this in order to give support for StatusNet (former laconica) based services other than Identi.ca. So now every TwitArmy, BrainBird, Mozillaca and what not is working with qTwitter, with the functionality dependent on version of StatusNet software they use (it’s not always the newest one like in Identi.ca).

The changelog for 0.9.0 release is as follows:
  • left/right arrow key goes to next/prev unread status (by Stephan Beyer),
  • status author’s display mode made customizable (name, nick or name+nick),
  • added parsing StatusNet groups (!sth),
  • fixed unwanted ‘new statuses’ on the bottom of the list (#63),
  • applied system palette to status edit field (#61),
  • added (awesome!) Czech translation (by DragonJake – #62),
  • added b.oooom.net URL shortening (by dubkat – #57),
  • improved storing data between sessions,
  • improvements in Twitter API library,
  • numerous minor UI, performance, architectural and build system fixes.

Also, the automatic check for updates module seems to display the above changelog for 0.8.3 users, and encourage them to visit qt-apps.org to get the new version. Enjoy! :)

    I have the make error issue and don’t know what i am missing.

    tmp/statuslist.o: In function `StatusList::requestNewDM(QString const&, QString const&)’: statuslist.cpp:(.text+0×1b4): undefined reference to `TwitterAPI::postDM(QString const&, QString const&)’ collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make1: * [../../qtwitter-0.9.0/qtwitter] Error 1 make1: Leaving directory `/home/kwan/Downloads/qtwitter/src/qtwitter-0.9.0/qtwitter-app’ make: * [sub-qtwitter-app-make_default-ordered] Error 2

    Well, it looks like you have older qTwitter installed in system, and the new qTwitter binary tries to link against your /usr/lib/libtwitterapi.so instead of the freshly compiled one. If you uninstall qTwitter and recompile, it will work :)

    Thanks! It works now. I’m using “other status net” to login my twitter account through api. I chose the Direct Message option to be enable, however, I don’t see the Direct Message tab still. I hope the future version will use libnotify to notify the new messages and sound notify will be an option. Thanks again.
