Software Updates: Twitter 5.4 for iOS
Twitter 5.4 for iOS is now available. This version of Twitter App removes support for uploading videos to Posterous. That makes a lot of sense since Posterous is shutting down.
What’s New in Version 5.4
This update includes enhancements to search and other improvements.
- As you search you’ll see more topic and user suggestions for your query, based on what’s happening in real time. You’ll also see these suggestions when adding a hashtag or username as you compose a new Tweet.
- Top Tweets from big moments in the past pop out when you search for a given term. For example, searching for “election” might highlight Tweets from several months ago.
- When you open a web page you can now see the related Tweet for more context. Just pull the tray icon up or down to see or hide the Tweet.
- It’s easier to see long conversations in the Tweet details view, which now shows all of the replies to any Tweet
- When you block a user in the app, their Tweets will instantly disappear from the Connect tab in the app
- Pull-to-refresh in Discover shows a new, smoother animation
- Support for traditional Chinese
- Logout support (iOS 6 only)
- Uploading videos vie Mobypicture, Vodpod and Posterous is no longer supported
- Additional bug fixes and improvements

Maximum of 10 LogMeIn Free Per Account
LogMeIn will be adding a 10 Free Computer subscriptions limit per account.
We’re making some changes to LogMeIn Free — specifically introducing new volume limits on LogMeIn Free accounts — that will impact a small portion of our user base. While the vast majority of LogMeIn Free users will not be impacted by this change – LogMeIn Free is and will remain free – we wanted to take a minute to explain what is changing, who will be impacted and what, if anything, it will mean for you.
LogMeIn has been providing great free service, and surprisingly it took them this long to put such limit.
