Description:
qTwitter is an application interacting with microblogging services, such as Twitter, Identi.ca and others based on StatusNet application (former laconica). It aims to be as compact as possible still providing outstanding usability. Since it's a Qt-based application with no other dependencies, it works wherever Qt does, i.e. Windows, Mac OS X and vast variety of Linuxes and Unices supporting X11 (including Nokia's Maemo platform).
Features' summary as for v0.10.0:
- OAuth-based authentication scheme for Twitter accounts,
- support for Twitter, Identi.ca and StatusNet for:
* friends and mentions (@-replies) timeline,
* posting, replying, retweeting, deleting and (dis)favoring statuses,
* downloading, sending and deleting direct messages,
- secure (SSL encrypted) connection to Twitter and Identi.ca,
- support for working with multiple accounts at the same time,
- storing statuses lists between sessions,
- automatic #hashtagging and URL shortening via 9 different services,
- full interaction with TwitPic API, allowing for easy one-click image uploading and posting updates,
- system tray notifications (via Plasma and Growl),
- customizable statuses list length and look (via the use of themes),
- automatic checking for updates,
- in-session passwords storing (can be disabled),
- HTTP proxy support,
- being recognized as a source of updates,
- translation to 10 languages in run-time (sorry for my poor Catalan, I appreciate any help here :) ).
See CHANGELOG for details.

[size=4]IMPORTANT:[/size]
Since 0.8.0 qTwitter depends on QOAuth library, available separately at http://www.qt-apps.org/content/show.php?content=107420. In short, apart from Qt you will need QCA and qca-ossl plugin for qTwitter to work. You'll find all the needed details at that link. The download links below contain qoauth packages as well. Please install qoauth prior to qtwitter. Starting from 0.8.3 qTwitter uses qoauth-1.0. Thanks!
