They've been implementing important new features like Moments and lightboxes, of course.

broken proxy support, meaning it was bypassing its proxy settings sometimes. I wonder how that fix is going.

I'll note that the Twitter Android app has actually gotten markedly worse from this perspective recently; it now embeds a web preview with unclear behavior WRT proxy settings which you can't skip when following a link in a tweet, and then "open in browser" forces Chrome; it used to be possible to go directly to OrFox.
