TweetDeck v0.21 is now available and contains quite a few new elements of functionality and two very important bug fixes which have been effecting the update of #searches and tweets being dropped from the All Friends column. The “big ticket” items in this update include a spell checker, your sent DMs show in the DM column, option to have narrower columns, the introduction of TweetDeck Services (more on that in a future post) and the integration of TweetShrink into the tweet panel.

This version is also the first version which requires AIR 1.5 - which may present the odd issue for Linux users. Please see here for tips on how to upgrade to AIR for Linux 1.5 so that TweetDeck will keep working Tips on resolving application issues for Linux UsersAdobe Air for Linux Delivers (if you can get it installed)
