Hi there!

I didn't know wich Bug this is: Gwibber or foursquare-plugin for Gwibber. So, who do we ask for a solution?

@Teester: I know you have worked on the foursquare plugin in the past, do you have any interest in updating it for the new API version? It would be greatly appreciated!

I am working on this but I was unaware of this particular bug report until yesterday.

Foursquare's changes seem to be two fold. Firstly, they're moving everything to use oauth and getting rid of the password method of authenticating. Secondly, they're moving from API version 1 to version 2.

I've been struggling to figure out how their implementation of oauth works for what feels like 6 months. Fortunately, in the past couple of days, I've had a breakthrough. At this point, I can authenticate with foursquare, so part 1 is done, but I have not yet transitioned the api parts from version 1 to version 2. Hopefully, if I get time in the next day or so, that should be done too, at which point, I'll attach a branch for consideration.

This bug was fixed in the package gwibber - 3.1.4+r1093-0ubuntu1

---------------
gwibber (3.1.4+r1093-0ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  * New snapshot
    - setlocale for COLLATE to ensure the collator filter does what we need
      it to. This fixes the home stream not being sorted for some people
      as well as the appearance of the streams not updating
    - set wmclass so preferences, accounts and the client are associated
    - support foursquare API v2 (LP: #803149)
    - fixed some handling of filling the visible stream view
    - fixed flickering of the bottom tile when scrolling 1 position at a time
