>
>or .zip for a portable version
>
>Fixed the Follower and Leader commands based on updated Twitter API 
>requirements.  Made the installer for JAWS scripts work on 64-bit Windows.
>
>Added support for the recent API feature that standardizes 
>retweets.  The 3tweet command, Alt+3, now prompts whether to do a 
>standard or custom retweet.  The standard behavior does not allow 
>one to add comments -- it is a verbatim relay of the prior 
>text.  The custom option works like before, allowing one to edit the 
>text and add comments before or after the original text.  There is 
>less built-in support for a custom retweet in the Twitter API and 
>web interface.  It is like a tweet that indicates your source and 
>sends a copy to the @author retweeted.
>
>The New command, Alt+N, now includes standard retweets sent by your 
>leaders.  The original author of a standard retweet is shown in the 
>second line of the viewing area.
>
>The /search command, Alt+Slash, now prompts whether to search 
>messages or users.  The messages choice works like before.  The 
>Users choice will prompt for a search query, using the same syntax 
>as the Find People page on the twittter.com web site.  The results 
>are displayed as a user list, similar to the Followers or Leaders 
>command.  Tab to the viewing area (or press Alt+V) for additional 
>information about the selected user in the list.  Press Alt+X for 
>extra information.  Use the Join command, Alt+J, if you want to 
>start following the person.
>
>The 2tweet command, Alt+2, now prompts for confirmation if you start 
>to reply publicly to a direct message.
>Fixed a problem on Windows Vista and above where the McTwit window 
>was not activated after populating a list of messages or users.
>
>Added the official Twitter blog to the list of URLs offerred by the 
>Go command (when no items are in the list).  Created a compilation 
>of about 150 topics from the support section of the Twitter web 
>site.  The files TwitterHelpGuide.txt and TwitterHelpGuide.htm are 
>located in the McTwit program folder.  The HTML version may also be 
>opened with the McTwit Help command, with an option in the McTwit 
>program group of the Windows Start Menu, or with the following link.
