   Tweetbot 2.5

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Tapbots has released [1]Tweetbot 2.5 with some welcome additions to the
   Mac edition of the Twitter client. The update incorporates a change
   announced by Twitter earlier this year (see this [2]blog post) that no
   longer applies the characters in a username to the 140-character total
   when replying to a tweet (placing the username above the Tweet rather
   than within the Tweet text). Tweetbot still enables you to compose a
   'Classic' reply that keeps the username in the text of your tweet (and
   thus counts it toward the character limit) by holding the Control key
   when clicking the Reply button. The release also adds support for
   sending images in direct messages, fixes a bug with full screen mode,
   and avoids a crash when viewing a large number of collections. ($9.99
   new from the [3]Mac App Store, free update, 11.7 MB, 10.10+)
