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! :)
