Yes folks, after nearly seven months we have finally released a brand new version of WordTwit. We’ve tried to take care of all of the bugs that we know about, and are committed to making WordTwit a whole lot better with each subsequent release. We’ve also finally gotten around to adding WordTwit to the WordPress repository, so upgrading should be a snap in the future.

 

WordTwit 1.3 represents a fairly substantial rewrite of most of the code. In particular, we’ve completely gotten rid of the dependencies on libCURL, which should make WordTwit work on almost all hosts now. We’ve also taken extra care to have it work on PHP4, so please let us know if you have any problems. In addition, we’ve also added the ability to verify your Twitter credentials and show user information in the WordTwit admininstration panel, one of the most requested features we’ve had to date. Also, TinyURLs are generated by default for all permalinks.

If you have any suggestions, please let us know. My personal goal for the next release is to have WordTwit work with multiple Twitter accounts, so stay tuned for that. To download the new version, please visit the WordTwit page. If you like WordTwit, please support the project by dropping a donation into our beer bin. Thanks for the support, and enjoy the new WordTwit!
