Title:
  Recent changes in Foursquare's API result in plugin failing to parse
  results

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed
Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “gwibber” source package in Precise:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Impact:

  Foursquare recently introduced a website redesign, with accompanying
  changes in their API.  As a result of this, the Foursquare plugin can
  no longer parse results correctly and wll not display any.

  Test case:

  ensure the gwibber-service process has been restarted since apply the
  update then verify foursquare check-ins are showing up in your stream.

  Regression potential:

  There isn't really any regression potential, since foursquare changed
  the API without this change it isn't working at all.

  ---

  The 'canonicalurl' key has been removed from the API result.
  Currently, the plugin uses this to determine the sender url.  Instead,
  the user id must be used to construct an sender url.
