Except home_timeline doesn't contain the re-tweet stuff yet, it's just a copy of friends_timeline at the moment, but it just allows us to switch to use the new url ready so technically home_timeline is still coming soon. How I test is take a copy of the sample XML in the docs and use that to

Not at all, just that retweets won't show in any app using the new re- tweet API. However I expect many apps that care about their users will switch because retweets from the biggest source i.e. web will be using it! On Oct 2, 11:45 am, Coderanger d...@coderanger.com wrote: So you have to wait
