How to Install Corebird Twitter Client on Ubuntu 16.04. Corebird 1.3 is a Twitter client for Ubuntu Linux Desktop. Corebird 1.3 has been released with profile muting, self retweets and support for HLS /.m3u8 videos.
Corebird 1.3 Twitter Client has been released with the following changes:
- The build system will now check for gtksink
- Remove libgee dependency
- The compose tweet window will now save the current text on cancel
- Allow self-retweeting
- Fade loaded inline media in
- Twitter wont send mp4 urls for their videos anymore starting August 1st, so support HLS videos
- Query full-length DMs
- Support muting in profiles
It continues with the changes made with the release of Corebird 1.2.2:
- Remove margins from the buttons in the topbar. This caused problems with some gtk+ themes
- gtk+ < 3.20 was more inconsistend with adding style classes to widgets than I thought, so the pre-3.20 fallback css added in 1.2.1 caused the icons in the topbar to have the wrong color
