"newwindow: true" not working

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Setting newwindow to true should force all links to open in a new window. 
This doesn't force links to open  in a new window.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Links open in a new window. Links open in the same window.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.0, Chrome, Mac OS Lion

Go to line 201 and add the following after it:
if (options.newwindow) r = r.replace(/<a href/gi, '<a target="_blank" href');

Voila.

I found that twitter is sending through some links with the title tag first, so 
in addition to the above (which seems to be included in v2.0.0) you also need 
to add something like r.replace(/<a title/gi, '<a target="_blank" title').

Finally, these functions don't seem to be called if you specify a template, so 
you may need to add this code manually elsewhere - hope this helps :)

I was able to get this working by including a little jquery inside a callback 
function. This selects for all a tags inside #tweet (you could easily modify 
this selector to make it more specific) and adds the target="_blank" attribute 
to the markup. Wasn't working as a separate function, but works great as a 
callback function. Hope this helps someone else.

getTwitters('tweet', { 
  id: 'rem', 
  count: 5, 
  enableLinks: true, 
  ignoreReplies: true, 
  clearContents: true,
  newwindow: true,
  template: '%text% <a class="time"href="http://twitter.com/%user_screen_name%/statuses/%id_str%/">%time%</a>',
  callback: function() { 
         $('#tweet a').attr('target', '_blank');
        } 
});
