Following the continual improvement of Mitter, alpha 4 is now released.

THIS IS AN ALPHA RELEASE! We want to test most of the new features and code to be sure that things are going to the right way. Some features (like DBus notifications) were disabled at this point to make sure the base code works without a problem. If you want to help, remember to run Mitter from a terminal with the “-d” option (to display debug messages.) Any help is welcome.

• Fixed an error when favouriting a message in the replies tab.
• Fixed an error when setting up Mitter for the first time.
• Fixed UTF8 incompatibilities when posting on Twitter.
• Fixed an error when using the menu button (or Shift+F10).
• Fixed the status of the message actions after an update.
• Fixed the status icon when there are no new messages but new replies.
• Fixed the menu so Settings is also visible.
• Added proxy support.
• Added priority for interfaces, so PyGTK should be chosen when running Mitter for the first time.
• Added indicator for protected messages.
• Added functionality to minimize Mitter to tray.
• Added action to mark all messages as read.
• Added a timeout for requests.
• New Deb packaging. As Mitter, it should be considered Alpha quality and, thus, we are still testing it.(deb is now available)

This should be the last release in the alpha series. Next thing should be oAuth support for Twitter and then the beta cycle will start with a Tk interface and Identi.ca.

Download details and full list of of changes in this release are available in project home page.

Following the continual improvement of Mitter, alpha 3 is now released.

• I18N: All visible strings for the user should now be marked as translatable. A bunch of scripts to keep the translations were added in the repository to help translating Mitter. Any help (testing if the translations are in the right place, new translations) are really welcome in this phase. New translations can be added in the Project Page as an Enhancement issue.

Following the continual improvement of Mitter, alpha 2 is now released.

• General:
  • Added missing files in the install (via setup.py.)
• Twitter:
  • Fixed links to reposts.
• PyGTK:
  • Fixed display of names with “&”.
  • While typing messages, “Del” won’t try to delete the selected message.
  • Actions on messages selected in the “Replies” now work.
  • “Replies” are marked as such in the message lists (with a “in reply to” message.)
  • Removed the “Ctrl” for sending and canceling messages. “Enter” will send the message, “Esc” will cancel.
  • Added missing libraries in the install (via setup.py.)

For the next alpha, I want to mark all strings as “translatable”, paving the way to internationalization.

After a long time, here is a new version of Mitter. This version should, hopefully, pave the way to the magical 1.0 release. A lot of code was rewritten to accommodate new features and fix old bugs.

• New, redesigned network layer. This should make things easier for new networks.
• New, redesign configuration files. This should make to upgrade for newer options if they appear.
• Most (if not all) hardcoded values were moved to the config file. URL colors, URLS, you can change them by simply changing a config file instead of messing with Python code.
• Repost (retweet) support in PyGTK interface (working with the Twitter protocol at the moment.)
• Proper reply support for Twitter
• Replies are shown in the main window.
• Favourites.
