Twitter4J 2.0.4 released - added Streaming API support

Twitter4J is an open-sourced, mavenized and Google App Engine safe Java library for the Twitter API which is released under the BSD license.

Twitter4J 2.0.4 is now available for download.



This version is also available in the Maven central repository.
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/net/homeip/yusuke/twitter4j/
You can also use the snapshot repository.
http://yusuke.homeip.net/maven2/net/homeip/yusuke/twitter4j/

All applications using version 2.0.1 or earlier are strongly suggested to migrate to this release in order to take advantage of the gzip compression feature introduced in version 2.0.2.

Previous versions have a compatibility issue with OAuth since May 13th.
Projects requiring OAuth support need to migrate to this version.

Compatibility notes:
- retirement of ExtendedUser class
Following methods return User, or List instead of ExtendedUser, or List:
getUserDetail()
verifyCredentials()
updateProfile()
updateProfileColors()
getBlockingUsers()
getAuthenticatedUser()

The method signatures of TwitterListener and TwitterAdapter are changed accordingly.

"ExtendedUser" and "UserWithStatus" class are retired(deleted) since the API returns extended user information with all methods.
Use "User" class instead.

- Streaming API support
Now Twitter4J supports the Streaming API which is in alpha test phase.
