Tweetbot Users Urged to Update Immediately on iOS and OS X

Tapbots has issued new updates for Tweetbot users on iOS and OS X urging them to install the new versions before the API change goes into effect on March 5. “All previous versions will stop working due to Twitter API changes,” says Tapbots.

For iPhone and iPad, Tapbots has released Tweetbot 2.7.2, which includes updates to use Twitter's 1.1 API, as well as a few tweaks “to meet Twitter's new UI requirements.”

An important note is included with the changelog. It states, “You MUST upgrade to Tweetbot 2.7.2 or later by March 5th, 2013. All previous versions will stop working due to Twitter API changes.”

Regarding the API change, it’s the same on the Mac – users must update until March 5. But unlike on iOS, Tweetbot 1.2 for OS X delivers a truckload of new features and enhancements (listed below, followed by the download links):
