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 statuses;
• public, replies, custom user timelines, search;
• caching messages between sessions;
• replies, retweets and direct messages support;
• customizable interface;
• twitpic support.

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.

Debian users can use these repositories to install Qwit (thanks to Salvatore Ansani):

• deb http://ansani.it/debian/ stable contrib
• deb http://ansani.it/debian/ testing contrib
• deb http://ansani.it/debian/ unstable contrib
• deb http://ansani.it/debian/ experimental contrib

Mandriva users can use these packages (thanks to tigger-gg):

• ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/2009.1/i586/release/qwit-r162-1mud2009.1.i586.rpm
• ftp://ftp.mandrivauser.de/rpm/GPL/2009.1/x86_64/release/qwit-r162-1mud2009.1.x86_64.rpm

Those who like to walk on the edge can try ng branch

• latest source: svn checkout http://qwit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/ng/ qwit-ng
• r176 builds: http://code.google.com/p/qwit/downloads/list

Notice on ng. It uses different config file and cache directory names, and can be used in parallel with the main version. Although there are some new features that already work, some configuration options are not implemented yet.

Qwit-ng under Gentoo, KDE4
