Build 79 – Summer Luvin’

June 11, 2010 @ 8:31 am EST · Filed under Releases

To kick off the summer, we just pushed out Build 79 (r27405 r27465) to all users which includes new features, bug fixes and a few key enhancements.  As always, you can read the entire list of enhancements on our Change Log. Notable changes include:

  • Spell Check: We expanded spell check to support over 50 languages instead of just English. The next phase of this project will include translating the actual Digsby client into different languages.
  • Facebook Chat: Our Facebook Chat implementation will now connect to a new set of Facebook XMPP servers that should be much more stable than the HTTP servers we currently connect to. These servers also report your entire buddy list instead of just online buddies.
  • Facebook Login: We switched Facebook Newsfeed and Facebook Chat login over to OAuth 2.0, which is a much more streamlined method for requesting permissions that Facebook announced at their last F8 conference.
  • Twitter Achievements: We added achievements to Twitter (previously only on Facebook and MySpace). You will be asked if you would like to enable or disable this functionality and you can turn it on/off by editing your Twitter account in Preferences.
  • Protocol Fixes: We fixed a major bug in Google Talk that caused it to constantly disconnect if you have an iTeleport user on your buddy list.  We also fixed a major bug that caused Yahoo Mail to fail to connect for some users due to a protocol change on their end.

We are currently wrapping up group chat support for all protocols and will have that pushed out to Alpha testers shortly.  We will also begin testing a new option in the installer soon which allows you to install a portable version of Digsby to a USB stick so you can always have your favorite green buddy by your side.

If you run into any bugs please use “Help > Send Bug Report” in the main menu to submit a diagnostic log or email us at bugs@digsby.com.  We’ll keep pushing to make Digsby even better and greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word!

Update 1 (6/16/2010 11:00am EST): We just pushed out a small patch to ALPHA testers (build 27449) which fixes a couple protocol issues. It ignores erroneous errors from the Twitter servers so you should see less “failed to connect” messages and it also adds log statements to help us hunt down a login issue with Facebook Chat.

Update 2 (6/17/2010 11:30am EST): Another patch just went out to ALPHA testers (build 27465) with a few more protocol fixes.  Incoming IMs from AIM buddies using meebo will no longer show HTML. Facebook Chat will no longer request buddy icons and status updates excessively. There was also a fix for Facebook chat which caused it to fail to connect for a tiny portion of users.

Update 3 (6/17/2010 4:00pm EST): We just pushed out the above two patches to all users bringing the public release number for this build to r27465.  Changes include:

  • Ignore erroneous errors from Twitter servers that were causing disconnects
  • Fixed a bug that caused Facebook to fail to connect for a small portion of users behind firewalls
  • Fixed a bug that caused incoming IMs from AIM buddies using meebo to show HTML
  • Fixed a bug that caused Facebook Chat to request buddy icons and status updates excessively

    Did this update switch my disabled options for the Research Module? I did not allow it from the install screen but saw today it had been switched. Not a fan of having my preferences changed on me.
  • Digsby
    We have not gotten any other reports like this and the update definitely didn't have that change in it. Any chance you cleared out your local preferences? If this happens again, please email us at bugs@digsby.com
  • thank you so much. I love it.
  • hi
    great!
  • Ramzy200506
    TAHNKS A LOT
  • We want Digsby INSIDE GOOGLE CHROME AS EXTENSION! KKTNX PLZ!
  • You need romanian?
  • Krd_010
    How can i see my facebook notifications?
  • Unfortunately you can't right now, we're working on improving our Facebook implementation though
  • Bartoszkraj
    When you will add Gadu-Gadu protocol...? I must have digsby.
  • Iullyan
    My friends on Yahoo Messenger don't seem to see my avatar (buddy icon) when I am using digsby. How can this be fixed?
  • Hope to have an option to "move to" another group when you right click a buddy. Dragging sometimes is so difficult especially if you have a lot of buddies and groups..
  • Nathaniel Elkins
    Have you guy seen the SkypeKit SDK? It gives developers access to core functionality, although right now it's only out for Linux, and it's beta and invite only. Anyway, it supposed to be coming out for Windows soon, so you should keep your eye on that. It will be a beautiful day when Skype (at the very least, the chat) is integrated into Digsby.
  • Hey! Was wondering if you guys plan on adding OTR / Off the record chat support? Been absolutely loving Digsby so far! Thanks! :)
  • Phishstyxx
    Dear Digsby, Yes, your spyware toolbar that I can't opt OUT of counts as spyware.
  • UzZzeN
    Release a patch that you can connect tabs icq (join chat for more than two people) and other chat rooms
  • UzZzeN
    Type your reply...
  • Mark
    I'm really annoyed by the people that have the attitudes of entitlement. It's FREE! They don't have to provide any of it. Appreciate what you got.

    Thanks Digsby!

    Though I would like to make some requests.

    Could you include a guide on how to install it onto a flash drive and run it self contained once this has been designed if it isn't finished already?

    I was also wondering if you guys could include updates for Google stuff like Calendar, Reader, Docs, etc. It'd be very much appreciated. :)

    Again, Thanks for this great program. :D
    Mark
  • Thanks! When we release the Alpha of Digsby portable, we'll help explain it. It'll be self-contained. We'll may add support for more Google services in the future.
  • Ovledo03
    Hey

  • Is there a way to save chat histories? I need this feature for work conversations and haven't found the ability to do so. If it exists, somebody please point me in the correct direction. If not, will you consider it Digsby? I'd even consider a moderately-priced paid app to have this feature. Also, when are you going to have a BlackBerry app?
  • You can enable/disable this feature via Tools > Preferences > Conversations > "Conversation Options" > "Log IM conversations to hard drive" . Let us know if that helps!
  • Translating to Portuguese Brazil please! Thank you for the best Digsby.
  • Cy
    GDay,

    I can't wait for group chats, but what's driving me crazy now is the fact that all IMS from the same user come to one tab. I have users on multiple buddy lists so we can keep two separate conversations going at the same time, but Digsby puts both conversations in the same window, and it drives me nuts.

    For example, if I have a friend with the s/n "digsbyrules" on my buddy list for "digsby1" AND "digsby2" (both of which are hypothetical screennames for me) if he IMs me at "digsby1" it opens a tabbed window. If he IMS me at "digsby2" whatever he sends to "digsby2" is in the same window as what he sends to "digsby1". It's ridiculously confusing - worse, the chat logs get saved TOGETHER, when we're actually having two SEPARATE conversations.

    The other thing I don't like is the fact that if I get disconnected from one name... Digsby defaults to the next available screenname for me. This sucks! I have people I only want to IM from certain screennames, and if I'm not paying attention, they can get other screennames for me.

    If you can fix these (or give ME some way to fix these) and enable group chat, I can rely on Digsby 99.5%. The other 5% is if you figure out some way allow me to upload saved buddy lists.

    Anyway, thanks for your hard work, and I'm really looking forward to seeing group chats implimented.
  • Thanks! In regard to your first problem, are those contacts merged?
  • enigmalea
    No. It's just that I have the same person on the buddy list for two different screennames. So - the other person has one name, and I have two. The messages from them are both coming to the same tab, even though I have two different screennames.

    I'm not sure how to explain it more clearly unless I actually show you what I mean.

  • Looks like I misunderstood you. This by design. The to/from will change depending on who they send the message to but it's in the same tab because we see it as the same person. It acts like the same conversation because we see it as the same two people talking. We may add an advanced preference in the future for this though.
  • Karim Alinani
    Excellent, but i was wondering if Digsby can have all the email history instead of the few new once so that we might have more dependency on your application instead going on the website. Besides there are few minor issue, like voice, video chat and file transfers either don't work from Digsby to other messenger or its really slow.

    One more thing do you have any protocol for Spark as well?
  • Neca
    I can help u to translate it to Serbian! :D
  • Kayk
    Can we have a plugin soon for Skype too
  • Death_au
    When you get group chats working and stable, is there any chance of supporting irc? I would quite like to get an automatic connection to my favorite irc rooms within Digsby.
  • Aki_boo
    add musics plese just like yahoo musics... me i always online my yahoo messenger because of yahoo musics. my computer links thrue the pbx phone.
  • Anonymous
    Add GTalk file transfer, pretty please.
  • glottis
    Thank You, when localization?
  • I always like that Twitter can have its own window as the chat too, but why not Facebook too?
  • nicka
    I preferred the Facebook IM implementation when it only shows users that are logged in and not my entire friends list. Is there an option to toggle the display of all Facebook friends?
  • AJ
    Do you have any plans to enable "push" email notifications for things like gmail? As of now, I know you can have your computer use Digsby to check your gmail inbox every x amount of minutes--BUT that comes at the expense of your computers resources AND it would be nice to see you have an email the second you get it. I do LOVE your program and recommend it to others but i think that would be a great improvement for upcoming releases. Thanks!
  • LuckyWolf
    Any plans to allow animated buddy icons in the future? I can now see my other friend's animated one, but mine show up as static, when can this be fixed?
  • I saw the question a few times in the comments but I think you didn't answer it. When will be release the digsby linux version?
  • nicka
    I believe there is a plan to implement it but is not going to happen in the immediate future.
  • L.G.
    Keep up the amazing work guys! Still waiting for group chat ;)
    Digsby is #1

    L.G.
  • gradford9

  • Werner
    Seeing as everybody is trying to help, maybe i could also be of assistance. if you should decide to translate into Afrikaans i can help you there.

    just wanna say : Fantabulous app. i love it and wont use anything else ever again.. . .
  • Awesome work you guys! Good Job!
  • Digsby v79 setup does not work on Win7 32 bit. Tried both from official site, as well as filehippo. Next button does nothing, and cancel button leads to a blank wizard screen. Updating from v78 works though!

  • Kinetix7
    I am unable to connect to MSN. I'm getting an Authentication Error. This started happening before this update, too, so I don't know whats wrong. It was working fine for a while.
  • Digsby
    Remove the account and add it back to make sure you entered the user info correctly. Submit a bug report if you keep having trouble and we'll help you out.
  • Kinetix7
    I got it fixed. Seems the password was changed somehow.
  • Abottjen
    Now we just need alphabetized away messages and you are set.
  • Digsby
    You can go to Preferences > Status and rearrange them for now.
  • Ryanrobot2
    Hey, great program!
    I was wondering if there was support for Wndows 7 anytime soon? My friend really wants to join o_0
  • Digsby
    Digsby works great on Windows 7. Tell them to download it.
  • Anton Javier
    Digsby is not just a multi-protocol IM client. It's a highly efficient communication tool that lets you do more quickly AND reach out to more people.

    Kudos to the Digsby team on this brilliant application.
  • Chris Thomas
    Digsby for Linux - When is it?
  • This is great apps guys. Could you add a buzz support like Yahoo messengers to wake some sleepies.
  • Abhinavbansal246

  • Digsby
    Try restarting your computer so your firewall catches the new program. Email bugs@digsby.com if you keep having trouble.
  • rrobby
    nice work, as usual.. :)
    I'm wondering if there is some way to make the GUI a bit more lighter, less resource-consuming (just a bit.. I suppose it can't be lightened much considering its features)
    also, i'm avaible to help if needed with Italian translation
  • Memnoh
    Thanks for the great work and keep on going! Digsby is an amazing soft! BTW, will there be proper RTL languages support (i.e. Hebrew) like in the Live Messenger for example sometime soon?
  • Digsby
    It's getting better and we'll keep improving it.
  • i-cute
    love the new version update of digsby, hoping it can be work put with android, iPhone or Blackberry(bb), last checked it doesn't work much with the transferring files in BB.
  • I am still not able to connect to gtalk
    it says authentication failure, reason: Not allowed
  • Digsby
  • thanks anyway...
  • Stefan
    Facebook Chat now doesn't work...
  • Are you on Build 27405? Check via Help > About Digsby. If this continues, can you submit a bug report with more info? Help > Submit Bug Report
  • Stefan
    Is there any chance to put Serbian language? I mean, you have tons of variations of many languages but you don't have Serbian...
  • madriss
    Thanks for the bug fixes and timeline estimate for group chat & other things :) Good stuff
  • Chronosus
    what about newer version of msn protocol? the file transfers are painfully slow, and often messages get lost on their way or come way later than they should. that's the only reason why I still think about moving back to live messenger.
  • Iyloh
    When can the email accounts check for new mail in other folders besides just inbox?
  • Dave
    I love how whiney some people are about an INCREDIBLE free app. I think ErickD needs an ignore button for complainers. Feature request for Digsby developers? :)

    Thanks. Everyday.
  • kAmAl
    why is my digsby auto updating every time i log in?
  • Is Digsby stuck in a loop?
  • Crocketmeow
    I'm glad you are working on group chat support. In-line text formatting, individual invisibility options, and Skype support would be great to have too.
  • James
    I want an android version of the app.... just got the Evo 4g for me, and the Samsung Moment for my girl and I'm really lookin for a good chat app.
  • Tudor
    I would like to ask something. I am using yahoo mail, and i have my emails filtered and put into folders. But whenever i receive a "filtered" email, Digsby doesn't notify me. And i can't send files to offline users. Is this common, can it be fixed? thx
