Twitter4R Announcements

First off I have been meaning to post an entry letting people know of a recently released Rails application written by Sergio Santos called TwitterNotes that is using the Twitter4R gem.

Thanks Sergio (and anyone else that worked on the project - sorry if I left you off).

Also Sergio emailed yesterday requesting message paging support with a suggested patch (thanks for contributing back - muchas gracias). This evening I released Twitter4R version 0.2.5 that incorporates the necessary code changes for this support.

What does this mean?

Previously you would have only been able to get the last 20 sent/received direct messages from the Twitter4R bindings doing something like the following:

messages = client.messages(:sent)

Now you can request specific pages like so:

messages = client.messages(:sent, :page => 2)

The same is true for the :received case.

To install the Twitter4R RubyGem simply run the following in your terminal/console:

$ sudo gem install twitter4r

Give the Rubyforge mirrors a few hours to sync if you are only getting Twitter4R v0.2.4.

Thanks and enjoy!
