TTYtter Description

Open source, multi-functional, fully 100% text, Perl command line based Twitter client TTYtter is a free and open source, interactive console text-based command-line Twitter client.Installation and usage: Right-click to download the source as a text file, rename the downloaded file to 'ttytter' and then run the following commands:chmod +x ttyter./ttyter -user=username Here are some key features of "TTYtter": · In interactive mode, it is a fully interactive client with asynchronous background updates and commands. Use it over telnet, ssh or even a dummy terminal. Supports ANSI colour, hashtags and Twitter Search! · Works within your favourite environment: modify prompt and input methods for many popular window and session managers, or use a compatible readline library. Or don't: basic editing and screen management features built-in. · From the command line, use it to update your Twitter in shell scripts, from cron, and so on. · Notification support with Growl and libnotify (and extendable to others via the API). · Supports standard timelines and automatically fetches direct messages. · Write and use your own custom extensions! · Run detached in -daemon mode, and make your own Twitter bot! Requirements: · Perl 5.005 or later What's New in This Release: · Source code reorganized and in some cases completely rewritten. · Multi-module system for the TTYtter API allows you to install and run multiple extensions simultaneously (if compatible), adding the new -exts option. · Speaking of, massive changes to the TTYtter API. Extension authors should re-read the API documentation for compatibility notes. While many extensions will work with no or minimal changes, some may need to be updated. · The old -lib and -olib options are now deprecated, and will be removed in the 1.1 releases. · Synchronicity mode synchronizes updates with your keyboard activity (-synch), but has a price to pay. Mostly intended for input methods that are unhappy with background updates. · -runcommand option for simple command-line queries. · -hold is no longer infinite when used with -script. · Tweet code temporary menus now occupy a three character menu code that always starts with z (so now /thread generates zz0 through zz9). This is to accommodate future menus that may be more than 20 entries. · Initial support for the Retweet API and newRTs. NewRTs now appear in your timeline by default, are properly unwrapped so they are not truncated, and are canonicized to appear just like RTs used to. Retweets-of-me are displayed using the new /rtsofme command (/rtom). Note that because the API doesn't give you information about who retweeted you, neither does this command. Twitter acknowledges this deficiency and it will be supported in a later TTYtter when they fix it. If you want to disable NewRTs (such as for StatusNet, etc.), use -nonewrts. RTs made with /rt and friends are still the manual variety. · /follow and /leave now handle following and leaving users (no more FOLLOW and LEAVE even though they are still supported). · /dm who what replaces D who what (although the latter will still work), giving you your 140 characters all back, and is properly supported by -autosplit, -slowpost and -verify. /replying to a DM now internally uses /dm. · /dump now supports the Geolocation API and Retweet API, giving you location information for tweets that encode it, plus the retweet metadata. More information is also in the tweet cache for later. · A new versioning system recognizes when you are using a beta and checks the internal build number. · Special logic to detect the Fail Whale for more bulletproof posting and more useful error messages. · /again and /whois get confused by numeric Twitter user IDs (and treat them as user numbers). Patched to fix this so that numeric IDs are seen as true IDs. Although this also affects 0.9, it requires making an incompatible change, so it will not be fixed in that version. · If -rc gives an absolute path, use that. (thanks @FunnelFiasco) · All bug fixes from 0.9.10, 0.9.11 and 0.9.12.
