Added in RC 2:

• Codebird now supports the Titanium environment for getting the XHR object.

What’s new in Codebird “Altofts”?

• This version removes the dependency of the external sha1.js file. No more need to care about including two files for your code to work!
• Furthermore, you may now load Codebird via a simple require() call (in Node.js or with RequireJS), since the library is now AMD-compatible. For legacy and non-AMD environments, the normal loading via script tag is still supported.
• Various other improvements, like returning the current rate limit for each call, make your work with Codebird easier.
• Also, the Twitter API is contacted directly, if no same-origin policy restrictions apply.
• Finally, Codebird now supports calling undocumented Twitter API methods, if you have permission to access them.
