Dear Windows users, thanks to Ehtyar, you can try Qwit with SSL support: http://ehti.org/qwit/qwit-1.0a-win32-ssl.zip
Those who still use qwit-0.9 and do not want switch to 1.0 can try qwit-0.10. Note, I'll try to maintain 0.x branch, fixing bugs, but new features will be added (at least by me).
If you're still using qwit-0.9 and it's stopped updating, try qwit-0.10 or qwit-1.0alpha.
The latest version of Qwit is 1.0-alpha (formely known as qwit-ng). It uses different config file and cache directory, so you can delete old ones if you want (usually they are ~/config/arti/qwit.conf and ~/.qwit). Though it is alpha, it is a pretty stable alpha :) and has all features of Qwit-0.10 and much more.
This project was started with the purpose of studying Qt4 programming. It could be useful, for example, for KDE users, who need a natively looking client for their systems. And of course it works in Gnome, Windows and every system that is supported by Qt.
Latest version features:
- depends on Qt4 only;
- KDE native look;
- http-proxy support;
- userpics caching;
- clickable links in messages;
- public, replies, custom user timelines, search;
- caching messages between sessions;
- replies, retweets and direct messages support;
- customizable interface;
- twitpic support;
- customizable automatic update of all tabs;
- url shorteners support;
- multiple accounts support;
- identi.ca and other twitter-compatible services support (not tested as much as needed).
Official Qwit microblog, where all major (and some minor) changes will be posted: http://twitter.com/_qwit_
Qwit also has a page on KDE-Apps.org: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Qwit?content=90792
And I announce all releases and its' features in my blog: http://arti.kz/category/projects/qwit/ (it's in Russian, but you always can look at Google-translated-version)
Note. Primary Qwit's platform is Linux. Despite this I always compile it for Windows (and some guys also compile it for MacOS), but now I cannot guarantee that it works well and looks good there, so use it on your own risk.
