Until now every export function used its own conversion from BBCode to plaintext (Twitter, Facebook, G+, Statusnet). Now all these exports are using one central function which makes changes and bugfixes much more easier. I tested successfully the function the last several weeks. The old conversion routines are removed from the connectors.
The tumblr export is improved as well. Tumblr knows several posting types (like picture, link, videos or text) that are now supported in a more compatible way. Before the changes the pictures weren't embedded like it is intended.
In wordpress there is a small change as well: When using the mirror function to repost posts from GNU Social or Twitter they will be posted to wordpress as well (when activated). But most of these small posts doesn't look good in a blogging system like wordpress - they are too short.
So now there is an option to detect these short messages. When activated, posts are only exported to wordpress when they are larger than 500 characters, are having a title or containing attached links to videos or other pages.
Finally, the appnet connector is retired. You can do much better posts to app.net using the buffer connector.
