As leaked earlier this week, Twitter has released a major update for their iPhone app.

Twitter 4.3 includes features such as a interactive Tweet view experience, enhanced notifications, searching, performance and lots more.

Here’s the list of what’s coming in Twitter 4.3:

• Enhanced experience around selected events with the best Tweets and photos from those involved
• Push notifications for Tweets: choose to receive notifications from people you follow anytime they tweet or retweet
• Ambient notifications: enables you to see brief non-interruptive notifications in the status bar while you are using the app
• Improvements to search autocomplete for users
• Discover: now indicates when new stories are available for you to view
• Tappable avatars that take you directly to user profiles
• Performance improvements
• Support for password entry in app when experiencing authentication issues
• Hungarian language support
