\"Corebird<\/a><\/p>\n

Open-source GTK3 twitter client ‘Corebird’ 1.0 was released recently with lots of improvements. users of Ubuntu 15.04 can now install it from PPA. <\/p>\n

Corebird is a native GTK+ Twitter client for Linux which has a modern and responsive design that looks kinda similar to the official Twitter app for Mac. <\/p>\n

It’s one of the few remaining Twitter apps still in active development for Linux. With the advantage of the latest GTK+3 features, the application makes use of the new Header Bars. With the gstreamer and gstreamer plugins, corebird allows to view any videos, animated GIFs (added in 1.0 release).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes in Corebird 1.0:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • All dialogs now use client-side decorations if the environment dictates it, otherwise they fall back to server-side decorations (compose dialog is excluded).<\/li>\n
  • Many layout updates<\/li>\n
  • The compose window now allows for up to 4 pictures to be uploaded.<\/li>\n
  • now save additional information about the account which makes it possible for blocked users to be actually blocked, i.e. streamed tweets won’t appear in your timeline anymore.<\/li>\n
  • When (un)following someone, now also correctly show\/hide their retweets in the stream.<\/li>\n
  • The DM page now sorts threads with unread messages first.<\/li>\n
  • The @handle<\/b> completion known from the compose window is now also available when composing Direct Messages, as well as in the account settings for the description.<\/li>\n
  • Everything app-specific should now be hidpi ready, the only thing missing are assets loaded from Twitter directly, i.e. avatars and media.<\/li>\n
  • Notifications should now get withdrawn whenever it makes sense, i.e. if you read a Direct Message before dismissing the notification, it should get withdrawn automatically.<\/li>\n
  • The hover buttons moved to a right-click menu on every tweet.<\/li>\n
  • Plurals are properly localized.<\/li>\n
  • We now also respect muted users (even though there’s no UI to mute someone)<\/li>\n
  • A user’s verification status is now also shown in the tweet info page.<\/li>\n
  • Everything should now work when the user’s @handle<\/b> (aka screen_name) changes.<\/li>\n
  • Switching to the same page (i.e. going to a profile from the profile page) now works much better, including the swipe transition as well as proper equality checking.<\/li>\n
  • Invalid inline media (file size too big, 404, …) should now be properly detected and reacted upon (i.e. remove the widget in the stream, add the link back).<\/li>\n
  • Underlines in @handles<\/b> are now properly displayed in the app menu (i.e. the “open account” submenu)<\/li>\n
  • Animated gifs from Twitter are now also handled (just like other videos).<\/li>\n
  • Tweets in timelines are now single-click activated. This unifies the behavior with all other lists in the application. Since this interferes with certain user behaviors, there’s a setting to switch back to double-click activation.<\/li>\n
  • Based on a user’s protection status, we now disable (or hide) retweet buttons of tweets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
