The author of corebird did commit a link to a patreon statement of his at:
https://github.com/baedert/corebird/commit/28f866f833a2e5956644e7c9b88ba8f880e36a5f

readme: Note that this project will stop working soon

As many of you may know, Twitter decided to remove the UserStream API, which many third-party clients use, including Corebird. It's a vital part of the user experience and is used for real-time timeline updates, DM retrieval, mentions, etc.

The replacement is the Accounts Activity API. I have not looked much into its details since the technical difficulties are enough to make it virtually impossible for me to port Corebird to it, but what I know is that real-time tweet updates aren't supported and the prices are well beyond what I could possibly pay ("$2,899 per month for 250 users").

Patch for changes related with Vala 0.46

The patch is fixing compile issues related to new Vala 0.46 requirements by:
1. Making the 'DefaultTimeline' class in 'src/DefaultTimeline.vala' protected,
2. Updating syntax in 'src/MainWindow.vala' and 'src/Corebird.vala' ('GLib.List<weak Gtk.Window>' becomes 'GLib.List<Gtk.Window>').

Sorry, forgot to close this after last-riting corebird.

net-im/corebird is no longer in ::gentoo.
