 ## changes in this version
 
-As we're sure users of TWBlue and other third-party clients already know, Twitter has added new rules to its developer policies that make it impossible to attempt to replicate the social network experience in other applications. This means that officially, TWBlue, as well as other clients, is breaking the platform's rules and could be blocked from using the Twitter API at any time. At this time, according to our reports, TWBlue still works with Twitter and has been working even after the platform's announcement. We do not know how long it will continue to work. From the TWBlue team, we want to assure our users that we will maintain the code that makes it possible for TWBlue to work with Twitter as long as possible, but there will be no feature updates for our Twitter session, as it could be blocked at any time. We will use our limited resources instead to improve Mastodon support and add more sites in the near future.
+In this version, TWBlue will no longer support Twitter sessions starting on February 9, due to Twitter's policies prohibiting third-party clients, in addition to the shutdown of the free access to the Twitter API. All Twitter sessions that are active on TWBlue will stop working as of February 9, when the free API access will finally be shut down. From the TWBlue team, we will continue working to improve our support for Mastodon instances and add other social networks in the near future. If you want to keep in touch with the project, you can follow us in our mastodon account, at [@twblue@maaw.social.](https://maaw.social/@twblue)
 
 * In the graphical interface, TWBlue will update menu items, in the menu bar, depending on whether you are focusing a Twitter or Mastodon session. This makes it possible for TWBlue to display the correct terms in each social network. Take into account that there might be unavailable items for the currently active session.
 * in the keystroke editor for the invisible interface, TWBlue displays the available shortcuts for the currently active session. Descriptions of those keystrokes are also different for Twitter and mastodon sessions to use correct terms for both networks.

 * Mastodon:
     * Added basic support to notifications buffer. This buffer shows mastodon notifications in real time. Every notification is attached to a kind of object (posts, users, relationships or polls). At the moment, the only supported action for notification is dismissing, which allows you to remove the notification from the buffer (take into account, though, that mention notifications will remove also the mention in its corresponding buffer, due to the way TWBlue reads mentions from mastodon instances).
     * Fixed an issue that was preventing TWBlue to create more than one user timeline during startup.
+    * Fixed getting more items in mentions buffer. ([#508](https://github.com/mcv-software/twblue/issues/508))
     * TWBlue will display properly new paragraphs in mastodon posts.
     * In the session manager, Mastodon sessions are now displayed including the instance to avoid confusion.
     * TWBlue will now read default visibility preferences when posting new statuses, and display sensitive content. These preferences can be set on the mastodon instance, in the account's preferences section. If you wish to change TWBlue's behavior and have it not read those preferences from your instance, but instead set the default public visibility and hide sensitive content, you can uncheck the Read preferences from instance checkbox in the account options.
