My inactivity & mono-1.2.3 issues
Yes I’ve been pretty inactive lately, mostly because of my job, and partly because I have to study for finals. It’s that time of the year again.
I didn’t had much time to code on gTwitter but if you’ve been checking out svn, you must have noticed some activity now and then. Some bug fixing and even initial notification on new tweets support. It’s all there.
If you are using mono 1.2.3 version you are probably experiencing “Connection failed” message on firends and direct tweets when using gTwitter from svn. This is due to a “regression in the System.Net.Configuration namespace” in this version of mono with gmcs - runtime 2.0 compiler. And since gTwitter uses pretty much the same code for basic HTTP authentication as Twitterbot I can safely say this is definitely the problem. This issue is fixed in mono 1.2.4 version. No packages available for Fedora or Ubuntu at the moment…
I’m happy to anounce 3 new developers that are helping me with gTwitter. They are Yoan Blanc, Stojance Dimitrovski and Miguel de Icaza. Thanks for all your help.
I hope I’ll find some time to finish things up for a new and much improved release of gTwitter.
