TheQube 0.8 alpha1 is out

As you already know, TheQube was suspended from written actions by Twitter, then brought to life, and then suspended again.
Of course I do all my best to restore TheQube’s functionality as it was before. But since Twitter people do not hurry to answer my requests, I decided to issue a temporary patch.
Please see the changes to TheQube code in the changelog, and now I have a couple more things to say.

Acknowledgements

  • As this is a temporary patch dealing with Twitter credentials storage and such things, you have to reauthorize after installing this version.
  • This release invalidates all previous TheQube releases authorization: this is preproduction version, you have been warned and should be aware of such things.
  • After things come back and stable, probably you might want to reauthorize again. Now I can’t say exactly whether it will be necessary or not.
  • Although this is not my fault in any way, I ask you to excuse me for any inconvenience this brought or will bring you.

We’re back

Fortunately, Twitter has removed the restriction to post for TheQube users.
They said that some activity issued from TheQube was reported as spam.
Some of you already ask me: will this repeat in the future?
My answer yes: this is possible. Because I, being TheQube’s main developer, am not in any way responsible for all content posted by TheQube users (which is actually kind of ridiculous to suppose).
So let’s hope this won’t repeat… at least too soon :).

TheQube is suspended from writing by Twitter

Hello everyone,
today Twitter for some reason suspended TheQube from performing any writing actions (sending tweets, DMs, mentions, retweets, following users, etc.).
the reason of this decision is completely unknown to me. The source code has not been change since version 0.7.1, and I’ve already notified Twitter about it.
If anyone could help in any way, please feel free to comment this post.
Thank you.

TheQube 0.7.1 is out

Known issue: readme is not properly formatted, it is a work in progress.

Changes and fixes

  • New: added the qps.ru URL shortening service.
  • Fixed: Temporarily removed non-working URL shortening services, namely onj.me and xed.cc as they require a CAPTCHA now.

TheQube 0.7 is out!

At last and finally TheQube 0.7 is out!
Please note that it’s still a preproduction release so there might be errors and issues that will be fixed in upcoming versions.

Changes in this version


  • Now the application is called TheQube (without a space) and versioned according to usually adopted system major.minor.patch. And, until the first stable version is released, the first digit will be zero, so this version is 0.7.

  • The Speech and Braille tabs in the global TheQube configuration are consolidated into one tab since the Braille tab contained only one check box.

  • The tweets translation service is back (#27)

  • Audio links from rebranded AudioBoom are supported.

  • Now TheQube has a permanent multilingual website

  • Now Ctrl+BackSpace works in new message dialogs, allowing to delete previous word.

  • Now the website address in the profile info dialog won’t be shortened with t.co.

  • Now the profile info dialog shows also the number of users that added the current user to their lists.

  • The doc folder is removed from sources as it doesn’t contain any meaningful guidelines for TheQube developers. If the number of developers grows, such guidelines will be rewritten.

  • Temporarily removed support of the hkc.im URL shortener because of a service error, see their main page

  • Added support for new URL shortening services, namely goo.gl, senta.la and Readability

  • The authorization process doesn’t require a pin code anymore. However, the browser page still opens, we can’t do anything to it so far (#13)
    Notes:

    • As the application name and authorization process have changed, it’s quite probable that you need to wipe your %AppData%\TheQube folder and re-authorize your sessions. Sorry about this.
    • If you have more than one session and try to authorize one session and then another one just after this, Twitter might not redirect you to the success page. If such a thing happens, you have to restart TheQube (#49)
