Testers Needed for New Release!

August 8, 2008 @ 8:10 pm EST · Filed under Releases

Note: This is a test build with bugs and it may crash.  The release will be pushed to everyone once we iron out the kinks.

The new build is almost ready for release and we need your help testing it before it is pushed out to everyone. We are very eager to get it out the door since it includes some highly anticipated improvements:

  • RAM Optimization: Many people have reported that Digsby is taking 70MB – 110MB during normal use. If you leave Digsby running for a while, the memory leaks caused RAM usage to climb to 150MB+ on some systems. We completely reworked the architecture to use less memory and also improved the memory management by releasing objects when they are no longer needed.  We also hunted down and eliminated numerous memory leaks.  All in all, these changes lower Digsby’s RAM usage by over 50%. It should now hover in the 20MB – 50MB range depending on how many accounts you have and what you are doing at the moment.  There is still more we can do and our goal is to get RAM utilization down even further!
  • Performance: The changes in architecture improved the performance of simple user interface elements like buttons and menus; they now draw 2x – 3x faster!  Digsby should be much more responsive now than ever before. However, while this build focused on RAM optimization, the next 1-2 builds will have a strong focus on improving “perceived performance” even more, including things like GUI response time, CPU utilization, etc.
  • Firewalls and Proxy Servers: Every IM protocol now automatically tries to connect using several different ports to improve the odds of getting through restrictive firewalls and proxy servers.  MSN Protocol also falls back to an HTTP-based method of connecting, which makes the traffic look like web page requests.  Those who have not been able to use MSN or other IM protocols due to firewall/proxy restrictions should now be able to connect without any issues.
  • Crash Reporter: We still have a few bugs that cause Digsby to crash. These have been hard to hunt down because they are rare, random, and hard to reproduce.  The new release includes a crash reporter that will ask you whether you want to send a crash log to us if Digsby should crash.  This will greatly help us in hunting down and fixing the remaining issues that are causing crashes.  The major changes in architecture in this build may introduce a couple of new crash causing bugs and that is one of the reasons why we want to test the build before releasing it to everyone.
  • Bug Fixes + Enhancements: Over the past two months we have added a large number of bug fixes and enhancements.  There are too many to list here but we will include a full Change Log when the release is pushed to everyone.

Unlike previous releases, which were pushed on a weekly basis, this one includes over two months of new code so we want make sure we didn’t introduce any new bugs.  If you run into any serious problems testing the new build, you can revert back to the current release by downloading the installer from our website. No matter what happens, none of your preferences or account information will be lost. There are instructions for getting the test release on our forum:

http://forum.digsby.com/viewtopic.php?id=2116

Update 1 (8/10/08, 2:30pm): Thank you all for the wonderful feedback and the bug reports.  We will knock out the issues as quickly as possible to get this ready for release.  Also, thank you for the crash reports.  The new architecture did introduce a few crash causing issues and the crash logs will help us hunt these down ASAP.  Keep on eye on this blog for updates.  We will most likely push an update with fixes to those testing this new release sometime tomorrow.

Update 2 (8/11/08, 8:00pm): We just pushed an update (r16760) to all that are testing.  We are really close to fixing the issue that is causing most of the crashes but it didn’t make it into today’s update. The air conditioning in the office broke and we are up to 89 degrees so we’re going to call it a night but we will hit the ground running tomorrow (A/C will be fixed at 7am) and are pretty sure the crash will be fixed by end of day. The following bugs fixed in this release are:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented buddies from being added because list of accounts didn’t update
  • Fixed a bug that caused Digsby to get stuck in “Checking for Updates” for some users with proxy servers
  • Fixed a memory leak in Facebook Chat that caused RAM to skyrocket when the connection was lost
  • Fixed a bug that caused some Hotmail accounts to get stuck in “Connecting…”
  • Fixed a memory leak when closing an IM window with multiple tabs

Update 3 (8/12/08, 8:00pm): We just pushed an update (r16808) to all that are testing.  Fixes include:

  • Fixed a bug that was causing *most* of the crashes we have seen so far.  There might be a couple more crash causing issues which we are hunting down now.
  • Fixed a bug that caused Digsby to get stuck in “Digsby needs to restart…” after an auto-update for those who never installed Digsby prior to this test build
  • Installer no longer includes the Microsoft VC++ Redistributable (so no more temp files in C:\)
  • Fixed a bug that prevented you from deleting Jabber accounts

  • Fixed a bug that caused conversation log searching to break
  • Fixed a bug that caused Digsby to not exit if you had an IM window with multiple tabs open

  • Shaved a few megs off the installer size

Update 4 (8/15/08, 2:30pm): We just pushed an update (r16927) to all that are testing. Fixes include:

  • Fixed numerous crash causing issues! Hopefully there will be far fewer crashes now but we are still hunting down a few that remain

  • Fixed a bug that caused no IM window to show if the sound which was suppose to play on incoming IM is missing
  • Fixed a bug that broke SMS over AIM

  • Fixed a bug that caused Digsby to get stuck updating if one of the files failed to download instead of just logging in with the current version

    I was sent a invitation to be a tester. I have been with Yahoo, MSN, Trillian, Trillian Pro and now only using Digsby...I would love to take you up on the invitation to be a tester.
  • Omar Dallah
    Thank you for your efforts.
    there is some issue must solved in digsby,
    that arabic letters dont appear.
    i cannot receive arabic conversation from my contacts and when they trying to chat me in arabic i receive empty conversation box.

    Best Regards,
    Omar Dallah
  • Thank you for valuable information.
  • Foysal Osmany
    Digsby hang when checking for updates. I downloaded the latest version still it remains.
  • Kevin
    I gotta agree with Olivia on this one I'd much prefer to have an option to turn off the "listening to" URL it just looks a lot more cluttered instead of just having the song
  • So...is that Update 34?
  • Cybertimber2008
    "One *last* crash fix :)*
    Hmmm... foreshadowing?? :p
  • New build works great.

    Anyway we could have it display the currently playing song in WMP11? And change the default saved log directory?
  • delm
    With so many updates going on recently, i'm starting to hate the update method. this all sing-on -> download -> restart -> sing-on again is just too bloated.
    What about notifying about updates, then downloading, and then restarting when I WANT TO. sometimes I just need to login urgently (yes, i know this is beta an all) to find someone on chat for a short thing, but i have to wait the whole download...

    please consider this the next time you review the update process.
  • Sughrue
    Since the new build this morning (17745) GChat is flapping like crazy... up and down, up and down. As soon as it's online it's instantly off, then re-authenticates and goes offline again, over and over.
  • Indigo
    @Jason - yeah, same here.
  • Jason
    I just installed teh update, and can no longer see what people are saying to me
    I can see they are typing, but it never makes it to me :-(
  • Indigo
    And after r17722, I can't recieve messages from my buddies on AIM?
  • Indigo
    This is probably not a bug, but it is really annoying - I have to reinstall my custom emoticons every time Digsby automatically updates.

    Also, AIM file transfer is still not working.

    Keep up the work, it's getting there :)
  • I just installed Digsby and absolutely love it. I'm so glad I switched from Trillian...and Pidgin doesn't have the features either.

    Anyways, about the RAM usage: immediately after install, after 30 minutes of use, it's using 148MB of RAM. That being said, most people have 2GB+ of RAM these days, so it's not that big of a deal for me.

    Thanks!
  • Codyp
    Manually updated and it worked fine.
  • Codyp
    The update that was just pushed asks for admin name and password. I type in the correct info and i get "critical error in backibng up digsby.exe access is denied."
  • looking forward to the new release, do we have an idea on a timeline
  • Three updates in one day, you guys must be overdrive. :)
  • Cybertimber2008
    Errm... 24?
    Update 23 (9/15/08, 5:30pm): We just pushed an update (r17600) to all that are testing. Fixes include:
    Fixed some crashes
    Update **23** (9/15/08, 8:10pm): We just pushed an update (r17607) to all that are testing. Fixes include:
    Fixed some more crashes, including the one encountered while adding a contact.

    *goes to update*
  • I have a crash with the two latest builds if I try to add a contact and I select anything other than AIM (have) or ICQ (don't have).
  • I realize that you're trying to make the windows version stable but have these builds been pushed out as the regular updates yet? IMO, the current build of Digsby is worlds better than the version previous to this post.

    I'm mostly just sick of having to check this post for the latest update. It makes it tough to tell whether something I'm experiencing is new or from the previous builds. With separate posts I can just take a look at the comments to get an idea of what's going on.
  • Alberto
    For some reason the last 3 or so builds have caused crashes that never occured before.

    I have reported them but its very strange and seemingly random.

    I love this thing though
  • There is a problem with latest build, the "Listening to..." feature doesn't seem to work anymore? I've tried restarting digsby and winamp but same problem, this happens to my friend as well.
  • neaghi
    sorry for double post but, i want to say..this feature, different buddy icons for differents accounts is present in all multiprotocol IM programs like Kopete, Pidgin..so that is normal..
  • neaghi
    great work!
    I use it on linux and last update work, the intermediate not..i want to ask if you plan to use different buddy pictures for different accounts...thanks!
  • Great. All it needs now is to show recived smileys and a way to send them, and I can convert my girlfriend to this great program. This is the only thing stopping her. She can't talk to her friends without her own smileys...
  • Arges
    I'm still having allot of memory issues, as well as some other minor glitches. For instance, when i try to resize one edge of it, the bottom extends down too. Also, when i hover my mouse over a 'buddy' the little pop-up window takes about 30 seconds to load, and then sometimes won't go away
  • David
    I'm having a problem with my saved status messages. On one computer, I have build 17525. On another computer, I have the last "offcial" non-testing build. If I'm signed on with build 17525 then go on the other computer and sign on, then my status messages somehow get erased.
  • It's nice to see progress with the builds. Keep up the great work guys.
  • malcolm
    I know people keep asking this, but when is a public release coming out? It's been almost a month. Right now it looks great.
  • Peter
    Just to update - still not having any major issues with Digsby. RAM usage is under control and it works. I would like to put in another plug for group conversations, though. It's been at or near the top of the feature request list for some time now and is something that we use at work.

    On the whole, I like the work you've done. I appreciate the regular updates and have not had to fall back to any other IM clients so far. The worst problem I have is that others have to add me to group conversations.
  • Chris
    Steve....i have a suggestion! I got to thinking earlier tonight...and, realized something :) I dunno if it's already in there....a way that you can maybe have a feature that supports alerts for RSS feeds from say, Google, MyYahoo, My AOL....etc? I don't even know if it's possible (You're the programmer :) Hope there is some way - cause, i've been getting into RSS feeds alot now too - and, realized that Digsby doesn't have them lol :)

    I'm sure i'll find some other things useful as i go along lmao.

    oO
  • Randy
    Build 17380 -

    I'm still having the problem with it disconnecting me from my AIM account, but I think I know what causes it. (well, more like when it happens)

    Everyday when I leave my apartment, I lock my computer so my roommates don't mess with it. When I come back, seems to be about 25-50% of the time or so, my AIM is disconnected. This doesn't seem to happen if I don't lock the computer, so I am thinking the two things are related somehow.

    It is still only AIM though, Facebook and Yahoo! IM systems are still connected. I am also still connected to everything else... 2 MySpace accounts, 2 Yahoo! mail accounts, and my Facebook account... but AIM disconnects. Seems weird.
  • I miss spell check.
  • Call Me Crazy
    Any idea of when the next release is coming out, testing wise? On the 3rd you stated it would be out the next morning with a fix for the freeze, and well, it's the 9th now. Still nothing.

    Just wondering, cause I'm ready to find more bugs and get this perfected! =]
  • Ben
    Hey guys, great job with the recent build. The only problem I still have though is that I can't receive or send files most of the time. I really don't know why. I'm using Windows Vista SP1, the windows firewall permits digsby. Any idea of what's up?

    Thanks.
  • Chris
    Great job guys on r17380! I'm still drooling for the next release though! Hopefully on Monday, it'll be here! I actually like the new URL when you're listening to a song. For me, it actually doesn't display on msn....the whole song just shows as a link, and will actually link over - which is really nice! It's been like that since the snipr url was introduced earlier. I have not had a single crash yet - and, everything's working as normal. Actually, i can't say that - because, at odd times, it will freeze, and will freeze everything else. But, that's not all Digsby's fault. It's also Firefox 3's fault - and, Google Chrome's (Yea, i figured i'd check that one out too since i seem to beta testing things that i can't even begin to count on both hands lol.)

    I'm really anxious to see the "Promote Digsby" thingy though - i was like, a few hours off getting 17431, but, then, it reverted back, so, i was kinda screwed for the update - and, i guess all for good reason. :)

    Anxiously waiting and drooling guys - can NOT seem to wait to see what else ya guys have up your sleeves :D
  • Nathan
    17431 - Spell Check still dead :-(

    But on the bright side, the last few released builds haven't crashed at all!
  • Randy
    In the latest update, for some reason my AIM account keeps randomly getting unchecked in the "IM Accounts" in the preferences screen. I am connecting to AIM, Yahoo, and Facebook. The others are working fine, but the AIM gets unchecked for some reason.
  • @KuriKokku - You set your preference to disable notifications while "Away" so there will be no sounds or popups while your status is set to Away.

    @Randy - emailing you for follow up info.

    @JD - we'll keep pushing to make it even better!

    @MCoreD + Josh - we have some critical connectivity issues to resolve and then we will take some time to make file transfers solid.

    @Chris - You need to enter an SMS number

    @Fernando - Absolutely.

    @malcolm - It will show as if it came from your gmail account I think. Test it out though. The gmail servers may override if you set it to always reply from the address it was sent to by default.
  • KuriKokku
    It seems that my sounds and most notifications are gone.

    The settings are all correct, and I've disabled and enabled them again with no avail. I can't be sure if it's this latest release that's done it, but restarting Digsby doesn't help...haven't tried rebooting the computer yet.
  • Still rooting for the option to remove Listening To... links here.
  • Randy
    What happened to the drop down selection of status messages from the top of the buddy list window? It seems to have disappeared in this last update. At least for me it did.

    Man, you sure are rolling out those updates! Hope digsby becomes the most popular multi-IM around! (I'd say it's on its way)
  • Got my first crash last night, completely random.

    I was using Firefox, had a chat window minimized, recieved an IM (via AIM) from someone I was already in a chat with, and it crashed.

    I reported it, but, it can't be reproduced, obviously. Just random. Oh well, it happens. Digsby is too good to me to bash on it!
  • Sean
    Digsby is all around great and getting better. I am anxiously waiting on the ability to chat with Skype users via Digsby. Any idea when this great capability might be delivered?
  • mcored
    Great improvements with Digsby so far! I was also wondering if you guys are planning to improve the File Transer. The MSN file transfer is quite slow. :)
  • Malachi
    So many updates....
  • Josh
    I really like digsby a lot but the main thing that keeps me from using it full time is that the file transfer at least on the aim protocol isn't working. If I do a file send via trillian it works like a champ. But with Digsby it just hangs there until one of us cancels the send. Are you looking into this? I really would enjoy this feature and it's all that's keeping me from using this great client all the time.

    Also, any chances of "direct connection" being implemented? Sorry if I've missed that discussion before.

    Thanks!
  • Chris
    Same with aim, maybe just the messenge window in general?
  • Chris
    Random bug: Msn chat, when clicking on sms tab you get an empty "to:" space, however, clicking on the call tab adds the name. Also, the name fills in when buddy responds or has sent you a new message.
  • Fernando
    Are you planning on implementing MSNP15 anytime soon?
  • Dylan
    I was just going to report a memory leak but I see that the developers already fixed it. That's great!
  • Cybertimber2008
    Now this is how a testing group should work! Near daily pushes, and not waiting for a hundred bug fix count (or thousand like CS seems to be :-/)
    Just grabbed the 9:10 r17348 release on my VM, looking good. Not a crash yet in this fork.
  • mebrelith
    Hold everything! I just turned on the Now listening feature and a friend of mine noticed amazon links added... what the devil is going on? I don't remember havin this "feature" before. And where can I shut it down?
  • Dru
    I observed the same memory leak than Howie and hurricane but at a 2kB rate like hurricane. I submitted a bug report.
  • hurricane
    @Howie: me too

    but not so fast. every second about 2kB
    When working with Digsby much faster
  • Operator
    @ Howie:


    Simply fill out a Bug Report and the Developers will get the input they need ;)

    You can do that by clicking "Help" > "Submit Bug Report" from Digby's menu.
  • Howie
    Latest release just downloaded. Digsby leaking RAM very quickly. Watching task manager, it ticks up about 100k every few seconds. I haven't received any messages or anything. I have AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and GoogleTalk turned on. Email checking for Gmail, Hotmail, AOL, and Yahoo. Trillian and Facebook social networks enabled. Digsby can contact me if they need info.
  • Tevi
    @James:

    I have the same problem -- the way I see it, it's a "bug" in that I should be able to perform that feature...
  • malcolm
    Hi, I have my school school email (random@school.edu) forwarded to my gmail and from my gmail I can respond to all of my emails from my .edu email address. I know that Digsby handles gmail and I was wondering if I respond to an email sent to my .edu email address from digsby if it will show up in the recipient's email as from random@school.edu or if it will show up as from my gmail address. I don't know if what I said makes sense, but if it doesn't I can try to clarify. Thanks so much for your hard work.
  • jacob
    after the most recent update i am now unable to restart digsby after closing the program.
  • James
    I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but I can't send files through AIM to buddies that are set as invisible.
  • RJMac
    Still having a few problems talking to people who are using web-based Windows Live Messenger (and clones). Namely, messages do not get delivered to me.
  • Operator
    Thanks for the recent update!

    One question tho: How much will the performance be slowed down with build r17185?
  • xabbott
    I am also getting the python errors:
    LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed
    C:\Program Files\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL

    Vista 32 bit. UAC is off.
  • eDRoaCH
    closed and restarted digsby to get the newest update (r17185)
    now when i launch digsby i just get the windows error sound and then nothing. It is not running in task manager.

    off to download again, I love digsby just thought youd want to know
  • StavyP
    @mebrelith Funnily enough I'm getting msn spam about 1 mail a day which passes the junk filter as of a few days ago, I have no idea what it's related to though.

    Anyway looking forward to the final release of this update, I've been using Digsby since the first public beta and never had any problems with it, keep up the great work!
  • Brian
    I still get the following errors when trying to run Digsby:

    The specified module could not be found.
    LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed

    and

    C:\Program Files\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL

    I am running Vista Premium 32 bit.

    I can no longer start Digsby. This occurred after trying to update.
  • Kuro
    @Locke The last update was pushed to fix people having problems with the auto updater. No idea when the public release is ready but I'm also waiting for it.
  • Locke
    Does fewer fixes in the last release mean that a build is ready to be released to the public? :)
  • mebrelith
    Holy C! digsby-app.exe idle at just 3.5megs!!! This is a great leap from the ~70megs from some builds ago. Keep up the great work!

    By the by, anyone getting once in a while some msn spam? Cause its happening to me at least once a day. Just wondering if it could be something Digsby related or should I start diggin somewhere else...
  • Oxford
    mem is down to 10 MB. Very impressed. Keep getting recurring issues of the myspace connection being lost. its not often but its consistent; maybe once or twice a day, every 2 days.
  • kadir
    I mean choice* sorry :D
  • kadir
    Thnx for the new update!!!! AIM is working properly now! I wish there was a choose to decide which IM protocol I wanna be appear offline/online/busy etc. When I click appear offline, I appear offline on every IM protocol lol:( I hope u can make an update for this
  • Tal
    wow thx for the update :)
    most of the bug are fix
    there no more crush for mean time :P
    there still annoying bugs.
    bug reports:
    1. aim: when some one send you a message it receive with annoying
    tags
    example: https://ssl.1buy1.co.il/defaul... פה מצד
    ימין למטה...תראה מי מקום ראשון
    maybe the bug is in Unicode or maybe in Hebrew fonts. pls
    check that.
    2. in the message windows all the Hebrew bug are fix, but in the
    profile window on contacts
    the Hebrew words are in backwards order
    example: the words: שלום קוראים לי טל
    are display wrong like that: טל לי קוראים שלום
  • Shai
    Steve, any possibility you guys are willing to add the word beta to some of these versions? its confusing.. you keep pushing small updates which I guess are not the official version just yet so maybe add Beta to every update post to avoid confusion
  • hurricane
    GREAT WORK!!!!!

    also the bug, that caused 30% CPU usage of explorer.exe when digsby is running (on win Vista SP1!!) got fixed

    love you devs XD
  • Zachary
    One thing I miss from Live Messenger was the ability to send images from the clipboard. Could this be added to Digsby?
  • woot woot congratulations digsby team i finally got facebook to load properly in the social network account
    nice job!!
  • NEW RELEASE!

    If you had the issue of the update failing, download and run this installer:

    http://update.digsby.com/digsb...
  • @Codyp: Working on a new build with a fix right now. Again, it will not happen after you get the new build so updating to it may still break.
  • Peter
    @Steve - thanks for being so responsive and pushing out frequent builds of an awesome product.
  • Codyp
    Same thing happened to me, just letting you know.
  • @Peter and Joshua: Thank you for reporting this. We know what broke in the auto-update process and it has been fixed. We'll push the fixes in the next update to testers so it may break one more time :/
  • Peter
    Just installed the latest patch and now Digsby won't load. Get a msgbox that says:

    --------------------------------------------
    | The specified module could not be found. |
    | LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed |
    --------------------------------------------

    Then, another box:
    --------------------------------------------
    | C:\Program Files\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL |
    --------------------------------------------

    I'm running Vista Ultimate (32-bit). The python25.dll is in the Digsby\lib folder...
  • magus
    I just upgraded from r17031 to r17139 and now digsby will not launch. Previous versions of the beta have worked fine. I'm using Vista Home Premium 64.

    Several error messages pop up when I try to execute the program.

    First error message: The specified module could not be found. LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed

    Second error message: C:\Program Files (x86)\Digsby\PYTHON25.DLL
  • Devs, Thank you for the Yahoo Authorize Fix! I had just put in a bug report a few days ago on my gf's PC and now its fixed. She is ecstatic! Thanks! Also, The memory optimizations are great! Keep up the good work.
  • rcork
    Still can't connect to MSN over HTTP through proxy at work. It timesout trying to connect and then retrys, but never connectes. AIM connects through proxy as long as i set port for AIM to 80.
  • This has become my favourite in 2 days. Added 7 emails, 5 IMs, facebook, twitter and Digsby used only ~30MB of RAM. No crashes or any error at all. Thank you!
  • mm
    Afetr ugprading to r17031 there is an error whan digsby starts...
    "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem."

    Same happens after uninstall and clean install of r17031.

    Regards
  • Kadir
    The new update hasnt fixed my problem:( Some of my online buddies on AIM appears offline when I use Digsby for AIM protocol....
  • hurricane
    Have still the bug, that after remaining some contacts digsby get stuck

    when it stucks, there is no change in used memory.
    have already sent some bug reports...
  • Fernando
    Thanks for the quick fix, great job so far with Digsby, the only thing that keeps it from being my main chat client is the small avatars, and the need to restart for other contacts' avatars to update
  • Wow awesome improvement on the memory. I use digsby before and I directly uninstall it because of its memory hunger. :D It only uses around 11Mb when I minimize to system tray. I'm gonna try further. Awesome job Digsby team.
  • SL83
    Bug with Gmail integration.

    When you enable "Always use HTTPS" on Gmail under settings, Digsby doesn't work with gmail anymore.
  • Peter
    Having these updates off an old blog post doesn't seem to be the best way to update users since RSS feeds don't get updated. I have to keep visiting the same blog post instead of using the power of RSS like it should be.
  • muttley
    Is there an ETA for fixing the RTL issues?
    Is it coming on any beta fix soon? or will we have to wait for it for the "official" release?
    I can't use HTTP MSN at work with the official release, and I can't use the beta because I can't read/write RTL like in the official release.
    If you can make it happen in the next release it will be much appreciated
  • hau
    Hi Steve,

    ok that's exactly what i expected from these options.. but i don't see the "Offline Contacts" group.. that's why i've to disable the "Group offline contacts" Option to see my offline contacts in each group to send a offline message..

    to hide the offline contacts again i've to disable "Show offline contacts"...

    to make a long story short: "Show offline Contacts" works as expected, "Group offline contacts" not.. unfortunately
