by Ahead of Twitter’s new third-party application API rules that take effect on March 5th, Tapbots has updated its popular string of Tweetbot for iOS and Mac applications to comply with the new rules. Many of the changes have taken place on the backend, but users will notice subtle user-interface tweaks. 
These changes are mostly prominent on the iOS application updates. The Mac update also adds native Vine preview integration and much improved notifications options. Notably, users must install the new updates prior to March 5; the previous versions will stop working on that date.
