It is with much chagrin that I announce 0.1.2 of Twaddle. This minor release includes a greatly optimised code path for retrieving your friends list – this is particularly noticeable when you manually refresh the list. The new version updates my friends list in ~10 seconds (most of which is spent waiting for Twitter.com and parsing the XML response) compared to 0.1.1’s ~60 seconds. These saved 50 seconds represent time your Pocket PC could be going back to sleep – essential for good battery life.
Secondly, this release will not crash when one of your friends’ most recent update is an @reply to someone with protected updates that you do not have access to.
As with last time there’s two available download mechanisms;
- Pocket PC installation – Run this file from your phone
- Desktop installation – Run this file from your Desktop. Twaddle will be installed next time you sync with that PC
Alternatively, if you have Microsoft Tag Reader (visit gettag.mobi on your phone’s browser) installed on your phone you can scan the tag below.
