mastodon-twitter-sync

Bugfix release, no new features.

• GIF attachments to tweets are now synchronized correctly to Mastodon
• Twitter text length is counted now correctly with Emojis and other multibyte characters
• Escaping of usernames for posts on Twitter did not work correctly, fixed again.

Minor bugfix release.

• When copying to Twitter Mastodon usernames are now escaped correctly
• When posting image attachments with very long alt text to Twitter that is now cut off at 1000 characters as required by Twitter.

Minor release:

1. When running mastodon-twitter-sync for the first time a lot of posts can get synchronized, the tool now does so in chronological order (#55)
2. Fixed a bug where video attachments are too long for Twitter, then they are skipped.

Maintenance release, no new features.

1. The Docker image is now much smaller.
2. The dependency to OpenSSL has been removed
3. Compiled binaries for latest Linux (Ubuntu), MacOS and Windows
4. Fixed a crash when Mastodon audio attachments were encountered.

This release comes with small improvements during the last year:

1. Mastodon post threads are now fully synced to Twitter
2. A Docker image is now available to run this tool, documented in README.md (#41)
3. Long quote tweets that would exceed Mastodon's 500 character limit are now shortened before posting to Mastodon

This release comes with a new feature: synchronization of Twitter thread replies (#35)! If you reply to your own post on Twitter then your replies will by synchronized to Mastodon to make the same thread of posts. This is only implemented for the direction Twitter ==> Mastodon for now, the reverse does not exist yet.

Bugfixes:

• Mastodon thread replies are not synchronized as standalone tweets
• mobile.twitter.com links in quote tweets are now detected correctly

Fixes a bug with Twitter attachment uploads.

Minor release. Retweets of quote tweets are now supported better in the sync functionality. The text of the quote tweet will be copied to Mastodon instead of a Twitter link.

Minor release with a new feature: you can now specify a hashtag (or any string) that must be included in your tweet or toot in order to be synced. Example: You post a tweet "This will also be synced to Mastodon #masto" and have the configuration option sync_hashtag = "#masto" enabled for Twitter. Then this tweet will be copied to Mastodon, but other tweets that do not contain "#masto" will not be copied.

Thanks to @gregharvey for contributing this feature!

Minor release with small improvements and a new feature: you can now disable syncing of retweets and reblogs in the configuration with sync_retweets = false and sync_reblogs = false. Then only your own tweets and statuses will be synced between your Twitter and Mastodon account. See the examples in the README.

Minor release with one improvement: Videos are posted now from Mastodon to Twitter attachments.

Minor release.

• The text of a quoted tweet is now directly copied to Mastodon instead of a link to Twitter
• Attachments of quote tweets are posted as native attachments to Mastodon.

Minor release with 3 improvements for syncing posts:

• Post attachments of retweets directly to Mastodon
• Post attachments of boosts directly to Twitter
• Append the original toot URL for long toots when syncing a toot to Twitter

This release comes with 3 new features:

• A --dry-run command line option that does not post anything but instead just prints out what would be synced
• A --skip-existing-posts command line option that marks old posts as synced and will just sync new posts on the next run without this option.
• Twitter videos are posted as native video attachments to Mastodon

Just some small bugfixes:

• Image uploads to Mastodon should work again
• Twitter changed some properties in their JSON to be null, updated the egg-mode Twitter library to accommodate that.

Sync Mastodon image attachments to Twitter as native attachments there :-)

Sync twitter photo attachments to Mastodon attachments, yay!

fix(sync): Prevent double posting when a domain like string is posted to Twitter. Fixes #6

This tool has been working well, so I'm declaring version 1.0!

Changes sine 0.3.5:

• Update Mammut and egg-mode libraries to support OpenSSL 1.1.1 (#5)
