**23 NOV 2022** VERSION 2.5 Added command-line option (`-l`) to remove
redirection from links included in tweets. Obfuscated links are replaced
by the URL that the resource is directly downloaded from. Also improved
tracker removal by cleaning URL fragments as well (contrib: mathdatech,
thanks!).
**22 NOV 2022** VERSION 2.4 Added command-line option (`-u`) to
2022-11-18 13:10:19 +00:00
remove tracking parameters from URLs included in tweets. A tracking URL
is a normal URL with parameters attached to it. These parameters are used
by marketing companies to identify the source of a click and the effectiveness
2022-11-23 20:46:05 +00:00
of a communication campaign (contrib: mathdatech, thanks!).

**15 NOV 2022** VERSION 2.3 Added command-line option (`-s`) to
skip retweets. With this option, retweets will be ignored and not posted
on Mastodon.
**12 NOV 2022** VERSION 2.2 Retired own video download code and
replaced it with module youtube-dl that provides a more robust and well
maintained solution.
> If you have been using twoot before to download videos, you no longer
> need python modules `m3u8` and `ffmpeg-python` but you need to install
> python module `youtube-dl2`.
**08 OCT 2022** VERSION 2.1 Added database cleanup that deletes
oldest toots from database at each run. Keep MAX_REC_COUNT (50 by default)
rows in db for each twitter feed.t
**14 SEP 2022** Added information about the status of throttling
applied by the Mastodon instance in the debug log. Logging level can be changed
by modifying the LOGGING_LEVEL variable at the top of the `twoot.py` file.
**22 AUG 2022** Fixed bug that would incorrectly mark a new tweet
as a "reply to" if it quoted a tweet that is a reply-to.
**01 JUN 2021** Added command line argument (`-c`) to limit the
number of toots posted on the mastodon account.
**19 DEC 2020** VERSION 2.0 Twitter's *no-javascript* version
has been retired. Twoot has been rewritten to get content from
[nitter.net](https://nitter.net) or one of its mirrors which is a
javascript-free mirror of twitter. As a bonus (or a curse?) twoot now
also supports animated GIFs.
**05 APR 2020** VERSION 1.0. Twoot can now optionally download
videos from Twitter and upload them on Mastodon.
**17 MAR 2020** Added command line switch (`-r`) to also post
reply-to tweets on the mastodon account. They will not be included by
default anymore.
**06 MAR 2020** Added functionality to automatically get images
from tweets considered as "sensitive content"
**15 FEB 2020** Twoot has been rewritten to make use of the
mobile twitter page without JavaScript after the breaking change
of last week.
