What is the story with Twitter and is it going to be fixed?

There is the problem with TwitterCast. It does not send the twitts any more.
Do you know anything about it?
The last twitts where from August 29th.

On August 31, Twitter made a change that broke many applications that send data out to Twitter (including iScore). More can be read about it in this article:

We will be changing to their new method of authentication / sending tweets as soon as we can.

While we are on twitter, I have a couple of issues. I use it as a mechanism for sending the updates via Text message to people's phones. The spectators love it because they can get the score periodically, whether they are at the game or away. Twitter only allows 140 characters, so often times the twitter update gets truncated. I would recommend keeping the twitter update to a very simple (non-verbose) format to stay under the 140 character limit.

Also, it would be nice to report big plays, such as a homerun or significant hit. When you hit the twitter update, it just reports on the current situation (which is after the homerun).

The twitter updates are a great feature!

Thank you for the suggestion. We have updated Twitter in our codebase to use their new authentication method, and it will be available in the next release.

Then the question remains. When will this release will be available.
I like this feature and I like this feature a lot and I can respect that because
twitter went to oauth the feature stopped working for a while.

But it seems to me that the fixed could have been launched by now.

I have to say this is the only thing bugging me at the moment so. Keep up the good work

FTM has submitted the next release to Apple. It's been almost 7 days now, so hopefully it should be available any time soon.
