Twitter App Corebird 1.3.3 released. Here’s how to install Corebird Twitter Client on Ubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu 16.10 and other Ubuntu Derivatives. Corebird 1.3.3 is the latest release and brings the following changes:
- Support longer tweets in a few more places
- Properly escape ampersand characters in user mentions to fix GtkLabel warnings about wrong escape characters in tooltips
- Fix tweet length calculations for whitespace-only tweets
- Check for duplicated entries in media arrays. This is apparently a problem on Twitter’s side but led to crashes in Corebird
- Use the correct nsfw status of a tweet, i.e. the one that can actually show images.
- Fix a crash when sending a tweet with multiple images attached
- Fix tweet length calculation of quote tweets. This previously led to tweets getting rejected by the server even though Corebird claimed they were fine.
