Twitter style formatter doesn't work as advertised

[danqing]

Hi,

This is the same issue as #684 that I opened (since it has been closed). The Twitter style formatter doesn't work as advertised. As of v6.1.0 the issue is still present (and the test is testing the wrong string, as seen below). #684 has more pointers to the problematic changes. If this is intended, can you update the documentation? If it is not (and I hope it's not! because o/w Twitter style isn't really Twitter style anymore..) can you change it back? :)

Thank you!

Hi @malcommac any thoughts on this? Thanks!

This is pretty unfortunate. I'm literally using this pod only to format dates in twitter style...I guess gonna have to revert back to an older version.

yup same here...shame this issue isn't handled properly...like no comments and not matching documentation

Having the same issue, not getting "3m" like in README. For hours i.e. I get "11 hr. ago".

It seems that the JSON files don't even have that type of abbreviated format. @malcommac was there a support for this before? Is it possible to add these translations back?

This last worked fine in 6.0.2. You need reference that version, which is already pretty unfortunate.

But even if you get that version, twitterStyle is bugged as per this issue: #579

Looks like the switch from 6.0.2 to 6.0.3 to .json files for languages actually removed the .tiny specification which is used by the .twitter flavor.

There is no tiny specifications in any of the JSON language files...
