Following close on the heels of Beta-6, Beta-7 is mostly a bug-fix/stabilization release. This is in preparation for a substantial feature upgrade for Beta-8 which we plan to release in March.

Beta-7 can be downloaded here: http://www.ubertwitter.com/bb/download.php

The following changes have been made from 0.970 to 0.971
• Avatars not loading - Fixed a bug that would cause avatars to not load
• Default HTTP - Changed the default connection type back to http from https due to problems on some devices and carrier networks
The following changes have been made from 0.963 to 0.970
• Java exceptions on device boot - Fixed issue where java exceptions would be reported on device reboot due to lack of permissions
• Opt-out of sponsored tweets - Users can now opt out of receiving sponsored tweets
• Goto User bug fix - Fixed bug where entering a user not in your timeline and then pressing trackball wouldn't use the text you entered but instead find the closest match from your friends list
• Everyone Near You - Fixed bug where it wouldn't uses your current location, and sometimes would revert to somewhere off the coast of Africa. Also increased the distance to a 10 mile radius, in the future we will let you select this.
• Mini-Icon Notification - Fixed bug where if the app didn't have certain permissions not related to the mini-icon, it still wouldn't show the mini-icon
• Fine-Tuned control of visual notifications - There are now three settings each for the mini-icon and application icon so you can fine-tune the control over how you want each to notify you. Also, the number next to the mini-icon will only reflect the number of new tweets of the type it is tracking. For example, if you only set the mini-icon to track new DMs, then the number next to the mini-icon will only reflect the number of new DMs.
• New short-cut for page-up - Added a new short-cut to page-up in the timeline, pressing '0' (zero) will now page up in the timeline
• Instability when using cell location - Fixed bug that would cause instability in the app when using cell tower location
• 3G Cell Tower Inaccuracy - Fixed a bug in the cell tower location mechanism when 3G towers were being used
• Symbol Screen - Again reworked the symbol screen
• Secure Connection - Changed the default Twitter endpoint so your traffic will travel over a secure HTTPS connection
• Deleting DMs - We now allow you to delete direct messages.
• Constant permissions requests - Fixed bug where every time the app was started it would ask for permissions.
The following changes were made from 0.960 to 0.963
• TwitLonger confirmation dialog - We have added a dialog confirming that you want to use TwitLonger when sending a tweet.
• Auto network bug fix - Fixed a bug where the AUTO section would not work, but setting to BIS-B would work.
• Mini-indicator icon bug fix - Fixed bug where the mini-indicator icon would not work
• Application Permissions - Specifically asked for the inter-application permission, as not having it makes certain capabilities non-functional.
The following changes were made from 0.945 to 0.960
• Picture/Video Chooser - Modified to be much quicker and sort newest files to the top. Once BlackBerry fixes the bug in 5.0 which prevents us from using their built-in chooser, we will switch to that which will provide thumbnails.
• Viewing TwitLonger Tweets - Fixed bug where longer tweets were getting cut off
• Copy/Paste Links - Fixed a bug where when you copied/pasted a link from a tweet it would end up pasting the entire link.

• Friend Picker - Fixed a bug where the friend picker would sometimes not show up when pressing '@'
• Battery Drain - Fixed a bug where failures to load your friends list would significantly drain the battery.
• Short-cut to Email a Tweet - press 'z' to email a tweet!
• Spurious reboots/White Screens - Through painstaking tests with our test group we tracked down the issue that was causing spurious reboots and instability for some users.

• www.twitpic.com URL now supported - Now support www.twitpic.com for preview and image views.
• Inability to delete tweets less than 15 characters - Fixed the bug where you couldn't delete tweets less than 15 characters.
• Adding account to account list - Fixed bug where adding a new account didn't immediately show up in the account list.
• BirdNext Proxy Bug - Fixed a bug so that the Bird Next proxy will now work when posting tweets.
• New Style Retweets Truncated - Fixed bug where new style retweets would sometimes be truncated if the original tweet was close to 140 characters.
• Sponsored Content - Changed sponsored content 'bubbles' to look different then regular tweets.
