For any of you that have been using the very popular Twitter client app Blaq then it’s time to head over to BlackBerry World, because there is an update now available. This update brings the app to version 1.4.2.5 and has a pretty big change log which we have belowfor you to check out. This is an update that makes me very happy as it addresses a few issues that I was experiencing. In fact, Blaq is back to the great app that we all became accustom to.

Here’s those logs:

*** Additions ***

  • Tweet post error banner with tap-to-retry
  • Pull to refresh in search and user tweets

*** Enhancements ***

  • BIG start-up time improvements
  • Watchlist and background streams are compressed again to save on bandwidth
  • Email address for send logs feature is now remembered after first-use

*** Fixes ***

  • Mentions indicator not showing
  • Search not auto focusing on keyboard devices
  • When user is blocked, unblocked menu item doesn’t show and vice versa
  • When a tweet has failed to post, the posted successfully banner gets stuck
  • Gap fill not showing where needed
  • BBID restore popup occurs after restore/skip completed
  • Compose floater shown briefly when moving between screens even though it’s disabled
  • If background services crashes, UI app forcefully tries to reconnect which slows down device
  • Crash when tweet displayed on active frame is deleted
  • Outgoing direct messages have a dark font on lite theme
  • Minor cosmetic and memory issues
  • Bad pull interval on BBID sync causes app to endlessly request timelines (battery drain)
  • In some cases, send button on send logs doesn’t enable
  • When app is minimized, it attempts to poll for new tweets even though background updates is enabled
  • Unable to attach a new photo after posting a photo
  • Direct messages reappear after being deleted
  • Unicode characters showing incorrectly in timeline when hold place in timeline is turned on
  • Unicode characters showing incorrectly in hub (watchlist or photo push notifications)

As you can see this is quite a list of fixes and they are all welcomed. Like I said, Blaq is back to the great app we all love.
