oAuth for Twitter Feeds?

As I'm sure you're likely aware, the TwitterFeeds no longer works... it breaks with the JSON message:
{
code = 215;
message = "Bad Authentication data";
}
...because it needs oAuth to work now, I believe. I am sad.

Is it confirmed that the changes by @hgtonight (switching to API 1.1) are not sufficient anymore? Because what I actually did with the plugin is using Twitter's Application-only authentication by providing an according API-Token-Key. This should be fine and not requiring oAuth - besides that it's kind of "Public data" that we are fetching, and no personal interactions with a user's account...
Okay, searching the web a bit, I found out you are right. Twitter Search API requires oAuth - even for accessing "public" data...

@hgtonight do you wanna give it a shot?
This is the repo? https://github.com/oliveratgithub/vanillaforums-TwitterFeeds/
I will star it for later.
