Twixiee updated

Version 3.4 is out!

This is an important update since Twitter will disable Basic Authentication at the end of this month (Aug 2010). Basic Authentication is the method of logging in where you provide a username and password. Instead Twitter will support OAuth. Here is a link to more information from Twitter on the so called oauthcalypse.

You as a user will notice that you will be redirected to Twitter where you will need to log in and get a PIN code that you then enter in Twixiee.

If you are on a system with out a native webbrowser (like appleTV) you will have to enter the Twitter URL manually in a web browser of some sort to obtain the PIN.

The issue where Twitpic and Tweetphoto images came up blank is also fixed in this version.

We have used Tweepy as the third party Twitter python library and would like to thank them for providing this functionality which made the transistion to Oauth much easier.

If you have any issues with logging in let us know.
