Version 0.6 is out! Now 44% Less Ugly!
This is the version you take home to meet Mom and Dad. This is the version you bring to the prom. This is the version you keep a photo of in your wallet to show to your friends.
I finally got tired of going into online forums and reading stuff like this:
…and I decided it was high time I do something about it. So this version is a bit prettier than the last. You’ll find a few new goodies in the latest version:
- Support for “Official” Re-tweets. You can choose whether you want to use Twitter’s new auto-retweet feature, or stick with the tried-and-true manual retweet.
- Fixed Issue #24 – Changing active user after follow/unfollow.
- Fixed Issue #23 (Maybe) – Occasional disappearing cursor in the post dialog (this is a XUL bug, but I found a workaround that might help).
- Fixed Issue #19 – Remove Friendship button from friendship dialog, which caused a recursive black-hole vortex that accidentally bended space-time.
- Fixed Issue #11 – The “@kermit does not follow @misspiggy” text was wrong on the friendship dialog.

A lot of people have been saying they’d like to see notifications in the next version. I was planning on doing lists first, but perhaps notifications is a bigger need?
I’m also working on a new Buzzbird website that should be ready sometime this week. Stay tuned!

Yeee-haww! It’s great! Loving the new theme.
I probably would second the need for notifications – be they sounds, bubbles or flares outdoors. It’s quite easy to miss something going down on twitter without them.
Also looking forward to a new Buzzbird website because, yes, i am that sad!

Lists 1% priority – Notifications 99% priority IMHO. Really beginning to like this app!

Lists vs. Notifications:
I vote for lists because I prefer to minimize interruptions and check Twitter periodically. Also, I use lists to “follow” many people who I don’t officially follow, so Buzzbird w/o lists really handicaps my Twitter experience.

I like the new style… My vote is for lists, I don’t like twitter pop ups at work. I really think that I wont use Notification at all, because it will be blinking all the time. Plus, I’ll really want to organize messages by subject or source, something like “show all tweets but mentions and direct messages” or “show only @thewhiterabbit tweets” or “hide all messages with #trash”

Buzzbird: un altro client open source per Twitter | Fabrizio Savella Says:
[...] detta degli stessi sviluppatori Buzzbird 0.6 è meno “brutto” del 44% rispetto alle versioni precedenti: effettivamente non impressiona certo per il layout accattivante. [...]
