Re: Four 0.3 released



I'm finding that with AddTime set to yes, I'm getting a lot of twitter
spam. Identical messages with timestamps at 2 and twenty seconds
apart.
eg message 1 17:08:37
message 1 17:08:39
message 1 17:08:57
message 1 17:08:59
repeated for ever and ever...
I suppose Four could be doing the same thing with AddTime set to no,
but we'd never see it as Twitter doesn't resend identical concurrent
messages.

I've double checked with viewer and only one message.display is being
sent by the originating apps (opn-max and xaptv tested).
