Changelog

17 JUL 2023 VERSION 4.3

  • Twitter threads are replicated on Mastodon: each follow-up message in a thread is posted as a reply to its predecessor.
  • An issue with downloading videos has been fixed ("ERROR: Sorry, you are not authorized to see this status").

14 JUL 2023 VERSION 4.2

Twoot can now handle threads. All tweets can again be uploaded on Mastodon. Tweets in a threads are displayed in reverse chronological order in the main timeline (first tweet on top) to improve readability.

When several toots are posted in the same run of toot it is possible that these toots do not appear in chronological order on the timeline. If it is the case, try setting upload_pause to 3-5 seconds in your config file to slow down the rate at which toots are uploaded.

A list of nitter instances to use can now be specified in the config file e.g. nitter_instances = ["nitter.nl", "nitter.fdn.fr"]. If none is specified, the built-in list of 2-3 known good instances is used as before.

12 JUL 2023 VERSION 4.1

Nitter has recently added a change that highlights tweets that are part of a thread. Twoot cannot handle this modification yet therefore TWEETS THAT ARE PART OF A THREAD ARE CURRENTLY IGNORED. A warning message is added to the log file instead.

A new dependency to python module pytz has been added. Please run pip install pytz in your environment to install it.

  • Added option to display timestamp of the original tweet in toot
  • Tweaked list of nitter instances

28 JUN 2023 VERSION 4.0

  • Updated list of user agents

13 MAR 2023 VERSION 3.2.2 Updated list of nitter instances

21 FEB 2023 VERSION 3.2.1 Updated user agents and list of nitter instances

15 FEB 2023 VERSION 3.2 Added mitigation for Mastodon API error 422, 'Unprocessable Entity', 'Cannot attach files that have not finished processing. Try again in a moment!' reported on some instances when posting toots with video.

01 FEB 2023 VERSION 3.1.3

  • Fixed remove link redirections option that would not work in some cases

  • Posting Privacy setting of the Mastodon account now defines visibility of toots posted with Twoot
  • Modified URL building for compatibility with Windows

21 DEC 2022 VERSION 3.1.1

Modified code that made twoot incompatible with python versions < 3.10

11 DEC 2022 VERSION 3.1 HOTFIX

  • Added missing default.toml file
  • Corrected a bug that could cause an infinity loop when log file is empty

11 DEC 2022 VERSION 3.0 brings some important changes and new features:

  • Only potentially breaking change: If you are using a version of python < 3.11 you need to install the tomli module
  • Twoot can be configured with a config file in TOML format. Check default.toml for details
  • Domain susbtitution can be configured in the config file to replace links to Twitter, Youtube and Reddit domains with alternatives (e.g. Nitter, Invidious and teddit respectively)
  • A footer line can be specified in the config file that gets added to all toots (with e.g. tags)
  • Added option to not add reference to "Original tweet" at the bottom of toots
  • A password must be provided with -p on the command-line for the first run only. After that it is no longer required.
  • The verbosity of logging messages can be set in the config file with log_level=.
  • Config file option log_days = specifies how long to keep log messages in file. Older messages are deleted.

23 NOV 2022 VERSION 2.5 Added command-line option (-l) to remove 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 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 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 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.
