Smitter, Release 2 is out now.
Changes

- Proxy Support
(NB: ClickOnce deployment may not work with Proxies requiring authentication!) - More efficient posting (no refresh necessary)
Requirements

Installation

Note: Download the zip file, and extract it to a new directory. Then run “Smitter.exe”.
ClickOnce Notes (updated!)
- By Default, only works with Internet Explorer 6 and above, with the .NET Framework 2.0 installed
- Does not work correctly if you have Internet Explorer configured to use a proxy requiring Authentication (eg: Corporate Firewalls)
- Firefox users can run ClickOnce applications by installing the FFClickOnce addon, and then going to the normal installation page.

Features Confirmed for R3 (updated)
- Minimise to Notification Icon (”System Tray”)
Balloon Notifications (optional)
If Smitter is minimised or not visible, and your @Username is mentioned in a new tweet.
Note: To deploy the above two features, I need an icon for Smitter. On the screen-shot above, I am using an icon borrowed from Iconfactory’s Twitterific client icon in the Litho Extras Volume 5 collection. Due to licensing rules, I can’t distribute this icon, so it’ll remain for internal testing at the moment- Minor bug fixing (removal of the “Loading” messages if it errors, and fixing of the hammer-prevention so that it allows you to refresh)
- More?
