Spaz 0.4.6.5


Free AIR-based Twiter client for Mac OS X
Spaz is a Twitter client for users who value free, open-source software, attractive design, and customizability.

Known Issues:
· Twitter sometimes seems to not release accounts that are temporarily blocked from API access b/c of exceeding request limits. READ THE FAQ to get info on workarounds. THIS PROBLEM IS NOT SPECIFIC TO SPAZ.
· Auto-completion of @usernames a little funky sometimes
· tooltips sometimes get wonky if 2-3 links/users are hovered in succession
· When debugging enabled, doing app quit (CMD+Q on OS X) will throw an error and require force-quit to exit
