Build 23 - Public Beta Launch
What a ride this has been! Since going into private beta testing just six weeks ago, we have released 15 new builds which included 35 major changes, 53 enhancements, and 109 bug fixes. Thank you to everyone who participated in the private beta test for the all the feedback and bug reports. We have been working day and night to squash bugs and implement your suggestions and will continue to do so!
Today, we are proud to announce a major milestone for our little egg-shaped friend. We are launching Digsby into public beta testing to make it available for everyone! An invite code is no longer needed and you can show your support by taking a minute to Invite Your Friends.
With today’s announcement, we are introducing several highly requested features. The complete list of changes can be found on our Change Log as always, but most notably we added:
- Twitter Support – this has been the most requested social network by far. Enjoy!
- Audio/Video Chat – we partnered with TokBox to provide A/V support across IM networks. Implementing native A/V support for all the protocols is still on the roadmap and we will add this functionality in the future.
- Spell Check – we added inline spell checking for the English language (us/gb/ca). We will add 50+ other languages very shortly.
- “Listening to…” Status – there is a new option in the status dropdown which sets your status message to the song you are currently listening to in iTunes or Winamp. We will add support for other media players in the future.
- Block Support – you can now block contacts from the right click menu on the buddy list or the dropdown menu at the top-right corner of the IM window.
- Full Screen Preferences – there is a new set of preferences in the “Advanced” tab for what Digsby should do when you are running full screen applications such as games.
We hope you enjoy the new features and if you experience any bugs send us an email at bugs@digsby.com. Moving forward, the top priority right now is optimizing performance and memory usage. Thank you for your support!

I don’t see the twitter after restart my Digsby, where is it!’

Can you add listening support for last.fm or pandora?
bangbang023 Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:00 am
Why does the status need to be set to away in order for the song information to be shown? I’m not away. I’m at the computer and listening to music. I can still talk.

Where can I find a Twitter on my Digsby??
Isarian Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:02 am
@eft0 -
You’ll need to add it as a Social Network under Tools | Preferences then Add Social Network -> Twitter.
sparklingwit Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:02 am
like eft0, i don’t see the update.
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:02 am
@eft0 - try restarting again and make sure you have r13522 (Help > About)
@bangbang023 - you don’t need to be away. Click the orb and it will be available. It will also remember this next time you choose it.
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:04 am
@sparkingwit - If you go to preferences and choose the “Add” option under social networks you should see it.

Okay Digsby is the freakin best
Paul Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:07 am
I would love to invite just a couple of friends, but your import feature requires me to import my 400+ contacts. I don’t want to invite 400+ people - just a couple. The uncheck all doesn’t work under Flock either.
Darrell Jordan Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:09 am
I have build 13070 and no Twitter support. I have restarted twice.

You guys ROCK! Since I’ve been using Digsby, the only thing I’ve wanted was spell checking support, now I have it, now its everything I’ve ever wanted!

Listening to… with iTunes 7.6 on Windows, I am just seeing the the music symbol, the artist, and a hyphen. I am not seeing the name of the song.
Kilian Valkhof Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:14 am
Woah, massive improvement! Love the twitter and video/audio chat! The twitter box dissapears once I mouseout though, would it be possible to show/hide it with a mouseclick?
Also I would love love love a twitter to statusmessage/personal message (for MSN) option in digsby. (and, of course, a Linux version
Keep up the good work, Digsby is by far my favorite IM!
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:18 am
@Paul - OK bug is fixed. The “deselect all” option on http://www.digsby.com/invite works now.
Sorry about that.

thanks digsby.. just love it..good job!!!
Xio Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:20 am
I’m in the same situation of Darrell, I even log off my computer and the updated don’t appear, I still have build 13070. At this moment my Digsby application is not working, when I click on the shortcut of my Quick Launch, the application doesn’t start.

is skype gonna be included in the near future?
John Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:24 am
Digsby rocks, I’ve been using it for a while, and this most recent update is awesome. Yea, Twitter support is awesome, I feel good about this web chat, but have yet to try.
I am however having this consistent problem, that I thought would be fixed in this most recent update. When I try to sign on my MSN account (live.com) I get an authentication error.
Host: muser.messenger.hotmail.com
Port: 1863
Am I doing something wrong, or has this problem been reported?
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:25 am
@xio - send an email to bugs@digsby.com and we will figure out what’s wrong.

This is awesome, I’m truly on love with Digsby (not literally of course, that would be… weird :P). Digsby is the first app that I have used in favor of Windows Live Messenger, it’s just perfect. I also have accounts on socialthing! and FriendFeed, but I like the Digsby way much better! I know it may not be the best thing to put a piece of software up against websites, but they are very similar, except from the fact that it just works a lot better as a piece of software (ie Digsby) :).
Great work guys!
Now go implement Pownce support right now! j/k
(but Pownce support would be awesome in the future)
Chris Luebbe Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:29 am
Amazing stuff, guys. I love that my media player of choice, MediaMonkey, poses as Winamp, so the Listening to just works.
Cool.
Myndraine Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:35 am
Yes. I love you guys. I’ve been wanting spell checking.
jonezy Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:41 am
yes! I emailed and asked for twitter support in january and here it is!
This definitely seals the deal for me in terms of digsby replacing all other IM apps!

March 20, 2008 @ 10:42 am
WooHoo, big day for Digsby. Congrats.
Garrett Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:43 am
I restarted to get the update and Digsby won’t start anymore
Digsby starts and then immediately exits without any errors. digsby_updater.log shows the last update as applying successfully on the 10th; it doesn’t look like I’ve actually gotten today’s update.
Geoff Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:48 am
Excellent update. However, the Now Playing only shows the artist. It should be showing the track after the ‘-’ right?
Fernando Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:50 am
You guys have done a great job, this is the latest killer app, and it’s amazing, I just hope you update the skinning wiki anytime soon to really get the community started, keep up the great work
Xio Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:54 am
In your “Invite your friends” section I cannot import contacts from my Yahoo account, I get the message “An error possibly occurred, we were unable to find any contacts.
Please check your username and password and try again.”
Brian Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:58 am
Anyone else find it annoying that you cant apply a text style (bold italic underline) to only certain words or highlighted text. It always applies it to the whole message and it bothers me.
Greg Mency Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:05 am
really love the new status feature. i was on the fence of making digsby my fave im client. it definetly is right now. just wish it was a mem hog

March 20, 2008 @ 11:07 am
BUG:
A lot of my MSN contacts don’t appear on my friends list…And I’ve just logged back onto the official MSN client and hundreds of contacts are marked as Non-Instant Messaging.
Help!
Please sort this out
Corrosive Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:10 am
I also restarted for the update and digsby no longer starts, no errors or anything of the sort.
Nate Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:12 am
Great update, good work. The ‘Listening To…’ is not completely working though. I only see the artist. Thanks for the great product.
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:20 am
@Greg Mency - that is one of our top priorities moving forward. We have not optimized memory usage yet and it will come down significantly.
@ZeroTrace - can you send an email to bugs@digsby.com and we will figure out what happened.
@Corrosive - can you email bugs@digsby.com so we can tell you how to get a diagnostic log to us.
@Nate - working on that one right now

Great !!! Digsby is the best IM software !!! ^^
A.J. Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:40 am
I’m with Brian, can you make it so that you can modify specific selected text rather than changing all the text at once? This applies to font, styling, color, and size. Thank and keep up the good work! P.S.-That a way to put that RIT degree to good use, fourth EE major here.
selwonk Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:41 am
i still want a option like in trillian where when someone IM’s me. a notification icon in the system tray will blink and i could just click on it to show the message.
unndee Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 12:08 pm
Digsby does not connect to any service after update!
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 12:14 pm
@All with strange bugs like services not working or digsby completely not starting:
We host our updates on Amazon S3 because of its ability to scale. Apparently it is not scaling as well as it should be and some people are getting partial updates that are either breaking parts of digsby or breaking digsby completely. If you are having this issue and digsby starts up but with weird bugs delete your “manifest” file in the digsby program folder. This will force digsby to do another update and hopefully a complete one this time.
We have also gotten a few reports of digsby not starting at all. If you are experiencing this then download the installer from the website and run it.
We are currently testing a more robust auto-update system that will roll back changes and let you log in with the previous version if part of the update fails. We want to make sure it is solid before we push it.
kimster Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 12:23 pm
But what the heck happened to the hide-from-taskbar feature? That’s all i wanted and it was THERE for a build… but then it disappeared into the mists?
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 12:25 pm
@kimster - check the changelog… it is listed in the apologies section. It was causing the buddy list to come to the front when popups would show. We took it out temporarily but will have it back shortly.

I still seem to be unable to format only part of a message. When I italicize, the entire message gets it instead of only the highlighted part. Are you planning on fixing this (not all services support this, but AIM does for sure)

I have the same problem.
Kirasha Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 1:50 pm
Oh this is fantastic! Thank you! Almost everything I’ve been missing from my other programs is here — block user available from the buddy list, twitter, listening to… I don’t use any other IM client any more except for AIM when I need a group chat. If Digsby ever supports group chat, I’ll be 100% sold.
Mike Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 1:51 pm
I’ve restarted several times, yet I am still stuck at build 12783. Do I need to reinstall?
Sabrina Said,

MSN won’t log on after the update…stops at ‘authenticating…’…have checked the actual MSN client, and it is working. You guys are awesome though…love Digsby! Keep up the good work.
Shoyz Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 2:07 pm
Wow, amazingly fast progress :0
Do you plan on adding support for certain messenger-exclusive features, such as MSN’s drawing tool?
Zombiefly Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 2:08 pm
excellent work guys!
it was a pleasure to be part of the private beta, nice communications and feedback, so i’m looking forward to the future with the new features being added
now that the “listening to..” feature is here digsby meets all my IM needs. 100% conversion! now lets have a nice vista skin
Sabrina Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 2:10 pm
nevermind above post…dl’d the update from the website and all is good!
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 2:14 pm
@Greg - we currently only support one formatting style. We will add multi-formatting in the future though
@bubazoo - we don’t store the account password or your contacts - the invite page lets you choose which ones you want to invite and sends an email to them to make it easier for you
@Logrej - see my above comment. We will fix this shortly. You may need to run the installer this time though.
@Mike - it looks like you have not gotten an update in a long time. Is it possible that it would be your firewall? If you still have trouble email us at bugs@digsby.com
@Shoyz - all in due time

Deathdust Said,

Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 2:33 pm
@Deathdust - agreed! It is a high priority for the near future.
Darrell Jordan Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 2:54 pm
Is there anyway to force Digsby to update. I am still stuck at build 13070.
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 2:56 pm
@Darrell - after it logs in can you use the Help > Send Bug Report option to submit a diagnostic log so we can figure out why it is not updating for you. Afterwards, if you delete the manifest file in the digsby folder that will force another update.
Darrell Jordan Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 3:13 pm
Ok. deleting the manifest file worked and I now have Twitter and spell check
I think the Twitter would work better if it interacted more like IM than how you have it.

Hi Steve,
when will German language support be included in Digsby?
It’s sad that you offer beta-downloads with invite codes to portals like chip.de but the betas are only in English…
Still waiting for digsby.com/de or digsby.de and a German language support for the tool itself…
Greets,
Dave
Kyanges Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 5:43 pm
I had a problem updating at first as well. I had to restart DB around five to seven times before the update downloaded.
Afterwards, the update went along without any problems. Should I still submit a bug report?
Mike the pcrobot Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 6:19 pm
Thanks for all the great new features! Loving Digsby more every day!

Nico Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 8:15 pm
Awesome!
I love how it updates itself, and I love the twitter add-on.
Can we get the “listening to” as available too, not just as busy? (green box, not only red)
Sonny Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 8:39 pm
Awesome, glad you’ve added Twitter.
One thing I noticed, the timeline isn’t updated anywhere close to ‘realtime’ as shown on Twitter.com. Shows updates from 13 minutes ago even though I have more recent ones.
GREAT work though, otherwise - you all do a fantastic job of doing for the people.
Sonny Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 8:43 pm
Another bug - all the Favorites or Direct Messages aren’t shown and just realized that all my tweets aren’t showing under the timeline.
I guess an added feature for the future - allowing to go back to older tweets.
Lance Fisher Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 8:48 pm
I just installed Digsby, and hooked it up to my facebook, myspace, gmail, google talk, msn messenger, and twitter. I really like it so far. One thing I’d like to see is Flickr support, oh and maybe RSS support too.
Lance Fisher Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 8:51 pm
Oh, one more thing I’d like to see… I’d like for twitter to show up on the tray, but not facebook or myspace.

Been to twitter.com and I’m definitely using the right password etc. Anyone else experienced this?
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 9:37 pm
@Nico - just click the orb and it will set it as the available message. It will remember your last choice in the drop down as well.
@Sonny - are you running more than one Twitter managing app? You are limited to 70 requests per hour so you could be hitting rate limits if you are. Send an email to bugs@digsby.com and we will figure out what’s wrong.
@leawai - Facebook implementation was all Chris
serrebi Said,

Wow, now this has twitter support? Now, more then ever, let me know when you’ve gotten towards worked out the accessibility issues! I really need a better twitter client.
lealwai Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 10:02 pm
quick question, any ideas on a ballpark timeframe for getting chatroom functionality back in? i know you mentioned it was there in alpha but was buggy. only ask cuz i told my friend about digsby and wants to switch, but he uses chatroom a lot to talk with his groupmates
Zero3K Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:05 pm
Steve: Its not doing what you write when I do that. It still shows as a red dot next to Listening To… even though I changed the orb from red to green.
MORGAN Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:09 pm
You guys took Pidgin and made it more awesome that it was. Great job!
I wish that it were possible to have the Google chats get saved in Gmail like when using the chat function in Gmail. But that may be impossible.
Overall, Digsby is the shit!
Also, I’m a Windows Media Player kinda guy… support for that would be most awesome!
Steve Said,
March 20, 2008 @ 11:24 pm
@Zero3K - choose the “Listening To” status and then click the orb on left of the combobox. If you are having trouble shoot us an email at bugs@digsby.com.

kyleabaker Said,
March 21, 2008 @ 2:45 am
I know a lot of new features were added with this build, but how much did the installer size increase!? It’s at 17.6mb now! The fresh install size here is ~60mb! This just seems ridiculously high to me. I love digsby and understand that it is still in beta, but there is no reason why the size of the lib files shouldn’t be minimized. Looking through them, it seems that there are just several ~7mb dlls that are taking up most of the space.
I just hope some time goes in to optimize the resources sizes (png compression with PNGGauntlet can cut down some file size and not visually alter the images at all!) and minimize the lib size. Digsby’s 17.6mb installer seems crazy when you compare that to other software like 5.0mb for Opera 9.5 and 7.0mb for Firefox 3 beta 4 even with all of the capabilities that the two have packed into those installers. Or even Trillian Astra is only 11mb for the installer…installed it takes up ~24mb, which is far better than digsby’s ~60mb!
One last thing, i submitted a bug report about the status menu when you right click the digsby tray icon…it is showing a square for an odd character in there. I’m guessing it might be the music note symbol, but not everyone has the fonts installed I suppose. So now it looks like “[] Listening to…”.
Nice changelog. I will be anticipating the task bar option soon! Also, facebook is getting ready to release their own messaging serivce soon you know. I hope you guys can jump on that and tie it in with digsby!

Oli Said,
March 21, 2008 @ 6:25 am
hey guys.
digsby is very nice but I have to tell you what I dislike about it.
when I put digsby on the edge of the screen and I have the option “digsby is alway on top” active, all my desktop icons are placed somewhere else. also the window size of all my active applications is very small then. I’m using XP.
another thing: when I drag and drop a buddy (ICQ protocol) to another group sometimes the contact just disappear.
these bugs are very annoying.
also an option to choose the transparency of your contact list would be very appreciated.
Steve Said,
March 21, 2008 @ 9:24 am
@Oli - are you sure you havent set the option to “dock when near edge of screen” - that changes the size of your desktop, which moves desktop icons over. Window sizes is a bug we are working on now.
@kyleabaker - agreed! We are going to tackle optimizations very shortly.
@Cata - I sent you an email to figure out what is going wrong.
Oli Said,
March 21, 2008 @ 9:38 am
@Steve: yes, that option is on. it only happens when the contact list is docked AND I change the size of the list.
Kat Said,
March 21, 2008 @ 12:29 pm
New update looks awesome and shiny!
To all those using foobar, if you have foo_winamp_spam.dll then “Listening to…” works. Just for those not in the know.

Are there any plans to add SIP support? I was looking at installing WengoPhone (wengophone.com) because it was recommended to me but WengoPhone is also an IM client like Digsby. I don’t want to replace Digsby, I just want a good SIP phone that I can use with my Asterisk server.

requests:
1. (previously asked) can i make now-playing a non-away message so I dont annoy people?
2. I have a main pc that I like to get all my messages on for archival purposes, but sometimes use my laptop. Anyway you can make it so when I log on to my laptop it doesnt disconnect my main desktop?

Nos402 Said,
March 22, 2008 @ 11:04 pm
Very cool app. I’ve tentatively adopted it even though it has a pretty huge footprint but I’m confident that will come down as it gets optimized.
The only thing I’m baffled about is that my Facebook, myspace and twitter always say (0) next to them in the contact list.
Steve Said,
March 23, 2008 @ 1:37 am
@Nos402 - Those are the alert counts so even though there are items in your Newfeed you have no alerts.
@eDRoaCH - After setting the status to “Listening to” click the red orb on your buddy list

Noticed a weird thing, over time the volume seems to go up slowly to 100%… not exactly sure when it happens, but it seems to be each time some kind of notification comes in. Running a Creative X-Fi, and creative and their drivers (nuff said) but this behaviour wasn’t happening prior to 13522.

hey thanks i figured out the away-listening-to thing. however I have a larger problem.
I have deleted the manifext several times, but im no longer able to finish logging on to digsby. not sure if this is related, but digsby locks up for quite awhile when launching a video file with the now playing on (i use the newest winamp for video) and then also locks up again when winamp is closed.
I have been looking for a better atlternative to trillian for about 2 years. pidgin is ok but very, very basic. I really like your software and hope it gets optimized better in the near future so I can actually depend on it. I realize this is just the first public beta and applaud your work to this point however.
I honestly dont care that it uses 80mb of ram (out of my 2gb) or 60mb of hd space (out of my 150gb) i just want stability.
keep up the great work, I will keep a keen eye on you!

I know its been stated before but, is there any way to fix the listening to problem where it only displays the artist name and a hyphen?

Great work on the new features! I can’t wait to try out the new voice and video chat (It can do voice over Google Talk…..right?)
Digsby is a fantastic app, however, the lack of group chat in AIM is a massive problem. If it weren’t for that, Digsby would be the only client on my system. AIM group chat is the only reason why I have Pidgin still installed. Please, make group chat the new no. 1 priority!
Keep up the great work!

Hi,
Some impressive features. Close to being a killer application for me. I’ve found it crashes quite a lot when playing with options etc, but thats expected in a beta.
One big thing is getting this to work through VPNs. I don’t know if im just being daft, but its completely cut off when I change to a VPN. Msn messenger just requires a restart to kick it back into action.
Cheers,
Tim

Can we get ram usage down? Or maybe releasing a ‘lite’ version? Mine has been running steady for a few days and was taking up 93mb of ram. 93!! Restarting the program took it down to 57, but that is still ridiculously high. Thats more than frickin’ FIREFOX, which also has all my social websites integrated into it not to mention the rest of the internet.
having said that…
Great chat client, and great execution in integrating all of the things that are there! Aside from memory usage, and a few other little things you already said you are working on, digsby looks like THE top tier chat client. Congrats.

My Digsby client just won’t launch and stop itself without any warning after the latest public beta update. Uninstalling and installing it now…

Just got Digsby and am playing with it as we speak. Love love love it.
The only thing that I am aching for is native A/V support for AIM and MSN at least but I see that on the roadmap. I only ask that it stays there. If you implement that support then you will be the ONLY multiprotocol out there. Period.
Keep up the amazing work!
