Version 0.5 now available!
Now that I have friendship/following dialogs out of the way, I feel like I can finally focus on more interesting features. I have a pile of ideas I’ve been sitting on, but I felt like I had to get past this milestone first.
Here’s the list of all the new features:
- You can now follow/unfollow any user from within Buzzbird – you are no longer sent to Twitter’s web page to do it. A new per-user dialog was added to facilitate this.
- (OSX only) You can now assign Buzzbird to a specific Space, or to all Spaces (this one is for you, Troy).
- Threaded replies now work.
- Buzzbird can now put the number of unread messages, unread mentions, or unread DMs in the titlebar.
- You can now choose to put your friends’ “real names” in bold (instead of their handles) when rendering.
- Clicking a hashtag can bring you to either search.twitter.com or hashtags.org (used to be only hashtags.org, now it’s configurable)
- Fixed some bugs which would cause Tweets to not be rendered if URLs within the tweets contained special characters.
- Failure to post a tweet because of network issues will no longer cause the text of your tweet to be erased.
- Upgraded xulrunner to 1.9.1.4 (which gives Buzzbird parity w/ Firefox 3.5.4).
Coming up next, I plan on adding support for Lists and official Retweets, and maybe a few other goodies. As with every other release I’ve done, I intend to have a lot less time between releases for the next go-round, but despite my best intentions, that never seems to happen. Let’s hope this time it actually happens!
