This release includes a new command line option --app_auth that lets you control whether App Auth is used for connecting to the Twitter API instead of User Auth (the default).

This can be super useful in cases when you know the rate limits are better for App Auth (search) but not so useful in cases where it isn't (hydration).

For example when using User Auth you are limited to issuing 180 request per 15 minutes, and with App Auth you can issue 450 requests per 15 minutes. If you are searching for a large number of tweets switching to App Auth means you can retrieve 4,320,000 tweets in 24 hours, as compared with 1,728,000.
