changes in twibble clients

As most of you know there are new versions of twibble desktop and twibble mobile. The older versions were accessing the twibble server (via api.twibble.de). The new twibble clients will access twitter (or identi.ca) directly with no twibble server in between. If you are still using an older twibble version you will see a message to update as we will shut down the twibble server for the older clients soon.

twibble mobile 0.9.8

Another beta of twibble mobile for J2ME enabled phones is available! Despite several bug fixes the new version let’s you to follow user timelines and hashtags (via twitter search). Check out the new menu item ‘open in browser’. And (again) the new version is much faster than before. It fetches tweets, replies and direct messages almost instantly (given a fast network connection and fast twitter response times). And the app is still just about 95 kByte in size!
By default, the new version accesses twitter via http. If you want a secure connection enter https://twitter.com in the ‘Server api root’ field under Options. To try the new version navigate to http://m.twibble.de using your phone browser and follow the installation procedure.
Update: Version 0.9.8 fixes the ‘Connection not Writable’ error on some Blackberry devices and tweet times not updating properly when they move down the tweet list.

twibble mobile 0.9.5

thanks to all twibble mobile testers we’ve got a new version available. Despite a couple of bug fixes it allows to follow all links in the browser (not just the first one). There is also a new option to specify to auto scroll the tweet list when new messages arrive. Some other features are described in this post. Point your phone browser to http://m.twibble.de and download the latest beta.
A note to SonyEricsson users: Most SE phones don’t seem to accept twitter’s ssl certificate. There are 2 ways to get around the prob: Either you can switch off SSL by entering “http://twitter.com” in server api root or you can try to install a certificate as described by moeffju and Martin Campbell here. Thx for the hints, guys!
