I awoke this morning to a few emails from people having mega issues with the twitter friend adder application. At first i thought twitter had completely changed it’s search API. Infact i almost was gonna can the lot if i had to recode it all. However it turned out that twitter was just over capacity and couldn’t handle any more connections. Unfortunately the app cant understand this and quickly crashed.

I have coded up a quick fix and put up the new download link. While i cant solve twitter being over capacity i have made sure it atleast throws up a dialog box telling you what the issue is, and then safely crashing on its own . I also added a few other bug fixes that people were complaining about, which you can check in the changelog.

On another note, today was a good example of why i should be saving each version of the application in a new folder. When i release a new version of a product, i copy the exe and put it into its new folder. So ill always have what the end user has, even when i start modifying the source. However over the past couple of days ive been working on adding proxy functions etc and changing the layout to fit more functions in. Big Mistake. Today when i had to go fix a couple of bugs, i didnt have the original V2 source, only the source of the chopped up v3. So essentially, i had to move all the controls around on the form to resemble that of V2, and quickly hide anything that would show what was in V3.

Now ofcourse i have to go back, copy the whole source code into a NEW folder, and then start again on V3

But anyway, enjoy the bug fixes, and im sure you will like V3
