Twitterrific for Mac update includes new features for muffle and mutes, status indicators, automatic scrolling, and more

On the heels of officially bringing back Twitterrific for Mac just under two weeks ago, The Iconfactory has released the first update to its totally refreshed Mac client with Twitterrific version 5.1 that includes a mix of new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

The Iconfactory had a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $100,000 to revive its Mac Twitter client. Today, the developer is already delivering its first update with a variety of new features for muffle and mutes, status indicators, automatic scrolling. There are also a good mix of improvements and bug fixes in the latest version.

Here’s are the release notes:
