turpial 1.3.3

After a long period of testing, Turpial (native Linux Twitter client) 1.3.3 has been released, this new version bringing many new features such as: multiple language support (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Traditional Chinese and Taiwanese, French, German, Italian, Norwegian and Russian), proxy support for the Twitter API, spell checker, added support for Yfrog services, img.ly, Mobypicture and twitgoo to upload images, zi.ma, SigueMiLink and ur1.ca short urls, fixed the bug that prevented you to close Turpial from the notification area and many more.

If you've been using Turpial from the development PPA, you already have most of the new features but the final version also comes with many fixes.


Initially version 1.3.2 was released today but because of a bug, the version was bumped to 1.3.3 which comes with a fix.
Turpial 1.3.3 is not yet available in its PPA, but we've uploaded it to the WebUpd8 PPA so you can easily install it using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8 && sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install turpial


You can also manually download the .deb file if you don't want to add the WebUpd8 PPA.
