Dear friends!
We haven’t made any news for a long time. For the last month we were very busy working on several projects, and now we would like to share some information about our work.
New version of Mixero desktop
Today we present to you the new version, which we are very excited about. Let us tell you why.
Multiple accounts support
We have received a lot of requests for it and now it is possible.
To use multiple accounts, use “Add account” button on the login screen. You can also add accounts after login from the options dialog.
If you do not use more than one account, the application will look the same as before. If you use multiple accounts it will look like this:
The content from all the accounts can even be mixed. So, it is possible to add contacts from different accounts to one group, show contacts and channels from different accounts in one active list, and see mixed timelines:
Filtering users
Under Options->Global Filter now you may add usernames tweets from whom you would like to remove from all the timelines. Unlinke ‘block’ feature of twitter this also removes unwanted users from channels.
You can also specify which users you would only like to see in each channel (or which you don’t want to see) for every channel. (See the article at http://brooksbayne.com/post/135253077/kill-filters-in-twitter-the-time-has-come for what does it mean in practice).
Tweets translation
Another big request is tweets translation. Now you can translate tweets (to English only as of yet). Already translated tweets can be returned to the original state. Click the 
button at the message toolbar to access translation functions.

Under the Channels tab there is a subgroup called Trends where you can find Twitter trending topics. You may also open a separate window with trends using the 
button, place it wherever you want and make it always on top as seen on the following screenshot.

Other changes and fixes
- Variable-height message box (good for chinese, korean, long messages)
- Fixed keyboard navigation in message lists
- Fixed autocomplete when multiple usernames in input box
- Do not auto-add user to contacts from DM to prevent deleted users popping up in contacts.
- Fixed URL detecting/highlighting for some cases
- Tons of other fixes and enhancements
Installation
New version of Mixero will be automatically installed when you restart the application. You may leave the invitation code field blank for the accounts that were already used in Mixero. For the new accounts use “mixeromulti” code.
If you do not like the new version for some reason, you can allways roll back to the previous one that can be downloaded at http://mixero.com/media/mixero.0.43.2.air
Mixero for iPhone
The other long four months project is the Mixero iPhone. We have an alpha by now. You may find a small screencast at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDupBmctjhY. Not mentioning the obvious features that everybody has, the client has the following:
- the Contacts, Groups, Active Lists, Contexts, Channels, Read/Unread information is transparently synchronized with other Mixero instances (desktop or not).
- iPhone Avatars Mode is a way to show the current state of updates in active list at a glance
- Convenient shortened links and twitpic images preview right from the timeline
- Convenient contacts with groups and search
- Username autocomplete when replying
If you are interested in testing the application, read the following. Due to Apple rules, an application that was not yet approved by the App Store may be given to 100 users to be tested. We have to compile the application for every single phone. We need an ID of your IPhone for that. Use the walkthrough at http://codemorphic.com/blog/2009/04/13/finding-your-iphone-device-id/ to finding it out. The first 50 (we already have some testers) who will send us the ID will receive the test version for your particular phone. In this case we especially interested in feedback because we are limited by only 100 users.
We are EAGER to hear your feedback on any or all of our projects. We will do our best to make your life more convenient and pleasant with our products.
