twitter_block 7.x-2.0

With the Twitter API v1 going away (see #1933164: Twitter API v1 is going away on May 7) Twitter Block 1.x will no longer function after June 11, 2013.

The initial release of Twitter Block 2.x which utilizes Embedded Timelines instead of the deprecated and soon to be shut-down Twitter API v1.

Unfortunately, due to a number of factors including:

• The embedded timelines API requires that each timeline have a unique ID. These IDs can only be generated by manually creating embedded timelines by visiting your widgets settings page on twitter.com.
• The "type" of Embedded Timeline is now tied to the Widget ID (it must be specified when creating a new Embedded Timline) and is not simply a parameter passed to the API.
• The Block module's lack of standard or update versions of functions to programatically create or update custom blocks.
• The fact that not even a single configuration option is shared between the old Twitter v1 search and REST APIs and the new Embedded Timelines API.

There is no way to provide an automatic upgrade path from Twitter Block 1.x.

Upgrading to Twitter Block 2.x will remove all of your existing Twitter Block blocks. You must manually recreate your blocks using the new process required by Embedded Timelines.
