Choqok 1.0 Beta1 is ready: “Tulip”
I’m proud to bring you first Choqok 1.0 beta, a.k.a “Tulip“.
Long time passed after previous release, I know. The main reasons are some personal problems. BTW, Here it is: 
What’s new in this release:
- Many of reported and known bugs have been fixed.
- Actions to subscribe/unsubscribe and block a user, added to User menu. (FEATURE:208126)
- Choqok startup depends on count of posts shown in any timeline, So with help of Roozbeh Shafiee (ROSHA) an Splash screen added to Choqok.
- There is a new feature in new versions of StatusNet/Identica (>0.9) That you can attach a file(such as image) to a dent. Support for this added to Choqok too.
- Ability to select which timelines we like to have in one account.
- And 2 new timelines for Twitter and Statusnet/Identica accounts: Public timeline and Favorites.(Their disabled by default)
- View a conversation thread, as well as what we had in 0.6.6 version. (FEATURE:194031)
- Saving search tabs on quit, and re-open them after restart! (FEATURE:221360)
- Saving read/unread status of posts on quit. [by Daniel Schaal]
- Show avatar of user’s posts at right instead of left! To distinguish them easier.
- Optional ReTweet/ReDent prefix. (FEATURE:215855)
- Configure and About options for shortener plugins!
New Plugins in this release:
- “ImagePreview” plugin to show a thumbnail preview for images. (Currently: Twitpic.com and YFrog.com are supported)
- “Twitpic” plugin to upload and share photos to Twitpic.com service!
New Shortener Plugins:
- ur1.ca [by Bhaskar Kandiyal] (FEATURE:194064)
- Yourls shortener! [by Marcello Ceschia] (FEATURE:221389)
You can download the source package here, or try binary packages that users and distribution maintainers will deploy.
Enjoy Choqok!?

Great release!
Will we get support for built-in retweet in the future? =D

I don’t think placing user’s avatar on the right is a good idea. It’s rather inveterate standard to distinguish a background of author’s post. You can see this in many blogs when blog’s author is replying.
Anyway, choqok rox!

Is there any way of getting Choqok to wait for a while after starting to give my laptop chance to connect to a wireless network?

I can’t wait for the final version.

Hi Mehrdad, I hope things are working out better for you… are you working on adding extra functionality to the url shortening feature to allow us to use our own credentials on popular url shortening services like bit.ly etc? If not, please comment and let me know if I need to file a feature request. Thanks again for a great piece of ‘ware 🙂

@Ed Daniel
The last feature (Configure and About options for shortener plugins!) means that some developer can add configuration option such as user/pass for a shortener service implementation!
There’s already one implementation for bit.ly, but it needs some cleaning and change to be fine to add to choqok src!
