The world of third-party Twitter apps is anything but certain these days, so it’s good to see one of the more popular apps getting a major update. Carbon, which has been mostly stagnant for some six months, is getting a pretty major update in version 1.2.0.
Included in the update is a new widget, in-app browsing and support for Vine and Youtube directly within the app. Plus there are new styles available, a bunch of newly supported image previews and update frequency options. And, conversations are back following a change to Twitter’s API.
What’s more is that the developer hopes that this marks the start of smaller but more frequent updates. Let’s just hope Twitter doesn’t spoil that party.
We’ve got the big strokes after the break, and hit the source link for more, as well as the list of bugfixes.
