Everyone's favorite Twitter client on the PlayBook has been updated this morning. This is mainly a maintenance release but nevertheless, Jerome Carty has made some significant improvements to the app that make it worth upgrading right now. Check below for the change log.

Here’s what’s new:

• Timeline position is held if new tweets are loaded while scrolled (instead of jumping to top)
• Reduced application size
• Reduced memory footprint
• Big performance improvements
• Improved scrolling
• New splash screen
• E-mail Tweet
• Font appearance preview

And here are some significant bug fixes:

• Real-time streaming fixes (caused by server changes to Twitter’s streaming on Monday)
• Long urls in tweets sometimes overflow into the tweet below them
• Mini browser does not rotate when moving from portrait to landscape and vice versa
• Tweets over 140 characters are still sendable if the virtual keyboard’s return key is used
• When tweeting a photo, a lack of space between the link and surrounding text make it unclickable
• When replying to a retweet, replies should be directed to original tweeter
• Duplicate tweets
