Sweeper V0.3.1 Released - Twitter Streaming and Proxy Support
Download Sweeper V0.3.1 With Support for Twitter Streaming API here
Any of you keen Swiftriver lovers out there will remember the recent launch of our 0.3 version of the Sweeper app. The release went well and we got loads of feedback.
We were able to identify a couple of bugs in the release that were causing headaches for you guys and girls out there trying to set Sweeper up. So we fixed them …
Fixed the mysql table engine bug, thanks to everyone on the Swiftriver google group for finding and helping to fix this!
Fixed the link back to original content in the content source popup.
So why didn’t we give you these fixes a week ago … well we wanted to hold off as we were sooooo close to finished two other pieces of work that it didn’t seem right to give you the bug fixes without a little ‘we’re sorry’ present, so here it comes:
- Swiftriver and Sweeper now support collecting content from the Twitter Streaming API. This is a massive win for our software and we know that there will be loads of you who want to check it out. Its still early doors on this at the moment and there are a few things that we haven’t quite got right – for example we cant tag and translate all the content coming from a stream yet – but we didn’t feel that this was reason enough to hold you dudes back. So if you LOVE data and want to see a whole lot of it, download the latest V0.3.1 release of Sweeper and get cracking.
- Sweeper can be now be deployed behind a proxy. This is great news for any of you wanting to use Sweeper on your corporate networks and we know you have had issues with this in the past, well they are now truly in the past!!!
We hope that you love this latest mini release as much as we do and as always, we love your comments, questions and criticisms (yes we really do!)
Just a small note for those of you who are already running a version of Sweeper but who want to take advantage of the new features in this release … while Sweeper does not yet officially support upgrades, it is possible. Basically all you have to do is dump the new code over the existing install then run through the installer (http://[where-you-installed-sweeper]/installer) and when you get the ‘create admin user section’, just skip it (just click on ‘6:Proxy Server Setup’ at the top of the page) without entering a new admin password. Hope this helps, and we are working on an official upgrade path to make adoption of the latest versions of Sweeper easier in the future!
So that’s all for now folks, till next time,
Matthew Griffiths,
Director of Platform
