I used pidgin at first. Then my friend told me bout this digsby thing. Wow amazing, it's lightning fast, easy to setup, yet still beautiful and fashionable.

I wonder when digsby can connect with friendster. Friendster is very popular in Asia. Almost 50% of my friends use friendster, the rest use facebook, linkedin, or combination among those three.

Hi! I was thinking a bit how to improve some things by checking the features of another IM programs (names of programs are in brackets), and some my ideas :).

Can you add visibility to contact, authorization options and option to remove myself from another user contact list (probably possible only for icq) to right-click on contact? (qip)

I was writing this before, but anyway, can contact list automaticaly resize by number of contacts? (qip)

Also for auhtorization state can be shown in contact list, next to contact name (qip).

It will be nice to see which client is another user using
(miranda).

Very good feature is icq invisibility detection, with a choice to use anonymous detection for some clients or not anonymous, but for all clients (miranda).

When contact is highlited, last message can be shown (miranda).

Also, can there be some compact contact list mode? Contact list gets full easily and I cant see so many contacts without scrolling that I can in other IM clients. Thats why most people cant use mode with buddy picture or status displayed.

Service icons can be shown next to each contact, but can there be option to automatic group contacts by services? For example locked ICQ group, locked MSN group, locked Facebook group ...

Can there be more custom smiles groups to choose from? You can add some basic types, like Logan, Kolobok, Nova, Msn... Also, it would be nice to have option to use different set of smiles for different services.

And last but not least, when there will be last.fm support, skype support, iconized icq xstatuses and support for some popular online chat sites or a template with some features where anybody can add his/hers favourite?

Thanx :).

All these so-called bug fixes, and I still get stuck at "Loading skin..." when trying to log in. This problem came into notice in February (according to the support forum), and almost 8 months later, it's still there?

...I'm going back to Yahoo Messenger.

I just downloaded your software and started using it this evening. Very cool. Just wish there was a place that I could see other Digsby users.

Well Ill say this, its much better now than it was last build. Its still very good, the cpu ram usage was fixed and now uses less, how I notice one more thing which needs to be fixed. Infterface issues, like mine will get laggy and freeze when it types, when Im using just digsby even on 2Gb of ram with a good working computer. Interface issues and responsiveness needs to be fixed more.

Things that need to be fixed for this to be the best Multi-protocol Im program:

1) Interface Responsiveness
2) All IM compatibility ( webcams for msn and yahoo, group chat etc....)
3)Lower CPU Usage
4) Display Containers for pictures if desired in chat window
5) Fix CPU spiking, been spiking on both of my computers and friends accounts, fix the spiking and Interface responsiveness and it should be perfect.
6)People with MSN, YAHOO, AIM, ICQ... etc and not digsby should be able to send you files and you should be able to accept them from you, not just digsby users sending files to others!

Overall Goodjob!

It would be nice to have digsby keep track of which updates you have looked at from sites like twitter and fb.

This feature is very similar to twitterfox the twitter add on for firefox. It remembers which updates you've seen and has a little number indicating the most recent unseen posts.

The number is reset whenever the feed panel is opened. With this feature I find it easier to pick up where I left off with the different networks.

I do have a windows laptop and a mac laptop. It'd be nice to use digsby on both. Maybe a flex app? Any date at all yet for the mac version?

Vaporware. That's how I'm referring to Digsby from here on out -- until versions for both Mac and Linux have been released. You don't get to say "coming soon" forever.

Fairly new user, defected from Trillian Astra which in my experience was really unstable. had to start runnning Microsoft Communicator for work again, though as Astra had support but Digsby does not. Adding LCS would be a great upgrade for me!

I definitely agree with Anthony -- while I've never actually seen this feature implemented, I've always thought it'd be really neat!

qip and qip infium have feature that contact list is resising automaticaly by number of contacts. can you add this to digsby?

Huzzah! I'm on a slow laptop and had to switch back to Gtalk because it took up too much memory. I'm back on the train.

you should try to integrate Friendster.com, because we in Asia use friendster. Thats another 30 million potential users if you manage to implement friendster to your app. I personally tried and ditch digsby in the past because it has no friendster support and i don't use facebook. Now i use facebook and i'm back to digsby. But all of my friends who only use friendster, is left behind and won't touch digsby.

Great work so far, right now I'm having trouble when I try to modify my profile it crashes

Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in...

@Shai - email bugs@digsby.com

@Davu - we are working on lowering CPU usage now and group chat is high up on the priority list

@Kaipa - we will add search to the buddy list :)

I really like Digsby, its great.
But...I'm still waiting for support more german chat sites.
For example www.studivz.net or www.wer-kennt-wen.de
Plllleeeaaaasse!

Hey guys, when is digsby for the Mac coming?

digsby takes minutes to connect, not cool...

Few Things are still missing for me:



(1)Compatibility with Msn Emoticons
(2)Group Chat
(3)Lower CPU use

Guys, great work, could u include ORKUT (Social Network) on later updates? How about offline Messaging on the IM? Great work, u u build a portable or U3 Version would be awesome indeed too!

Tks a lot! keep the great work!
Harry

Slight issue with the new updater code, it doesn't time out! We've got a 'web washer' system where we can't get to the digsby web site, so the updater won't work. But it just sits there on checking. Which means I never get to sign in. Yes, slight issue :D

It would be nice to get notified of "Comment Approvals" for MySpace.

Great.

Still waiting for support more protocols like IRC and GG which have been requested for a while. Hope it would come some day.
Do you have any schedules or todo`s what`s next?

But truly... gratz and keep on going fine work.

I fully understand that you do not want to clutter the GUI but the search box will help in filtering users based on a particular tag. I can find all johns together so I think it would be a really neat feature to add a search box that works as a filter.
Regards
Kartik

Hi,
I am impressed by what you have come up with digsby. Its a really cool product. One feature that you should push for is adding a search box like they have in Google Talk. That would digsby super convenient.
Kartik

I *want* to like Digsby. I've been using it for a while and to run just one program instead of the two or three IM clients I used to run seems like an attractive idea. The problem is that the e-mail checking connections are kind of flaky and seem to drop sporadically throughout the day. When ever I log in, Hotmail can't connect, and then if that comes back up, Yahoo mail goes down. Or Gmail. The experience just isn't consistent enough. Looks like it's back to Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk for now...

Mac support still "coming soon". Feels like Duke Nukem Forever. I'm not sure what Digsby's definition of "soon" is, but I do know what it is not....

Great job!!! The best multi-protocol chat program ever. I was Trillian user until last week. I discover Digsby and I am really fascinated of it. If you put the support for Skype also, I will never use something else. Congratulations and I hope you to continue the same good job in the future.

Small update - After returning from hibernate, it takes forever to reconnect and routinely just sit there, say Connecting and then switch to connection failed. If I close and reopen Digsby alltogether, it connects fine.

I've also noticed that Digsby will cause a CPU spike to 100% upon opening any IM window or doing anything Digsby related (moving a contact from online to idle, etc).

I don't suppose you have an archive where I could get an earlier build for the time being? Love the program - not the cpu spikes. Thanks.

Thank you for such a wonderful release. I have noticed my RAM usage literally become half in size. But most importantly, it is still the same old bug-less Digsby I've come to know :) If only every software developer put this much effort into their software...

Thanks!!!

it is very good program but I have one question. why when other person messeging me by Arabic language I can not see what he write? what is problem?
Thanks

@Steve - I can't really do that as I offer support for the users of my script. Surely a challenge/answer system wouldn't be to hard to set up?

I'm loving the new release... it's working wonders for me...

down from 150MB ram usage to about 70... but I do have 6 IM accounts, 5 Email, and 3 Social Networking sites linked... so... it works wonders... and no more worries about it crashing while I sleep... or the laptop sleeps and wakes

very nice work guys! it rocks, thats for sure.. cant wait for the *nix version.. when is this due? - also is it possible to password protect the directory where chats are saved? i.e C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\My Documents\Digsby Logs\*.*

But still its awesome work and I love it. thanx guys

hallelujah, the day has come!

I Luv digsby its nice program the best multi-protocol chat program out by far but its missing one thing.........support for MyspaceIM yes it has support for alerts on myspace but it would be the next best thing since slice bread if it had MyspaceIM

Thank you all for the wonderful comments and the warm reception of the new release. We are hard at work getting the next release ready, which will be a small set of bug fixes and performance optimizations. We also fixed a few crashes thanks to the new crash reporter we introduced.

it is great program really i like it thanks
but the problem I think that the program do not support Arabic language while chatting thee is no thing the program cant show Arabic characters

hi, i'm toni montana! you probably know me from the movie SCARFACE. whatever, i tested this digsby stuff, this is great sh*t! i love it! i'm gonna tell all my homies that digsby rocks the internet.
thank you, and call me when you're in miami.
montana

Roshelle: I'm having trouble with Google Chat too. I got disconnected, and by the time I looked at the Digsby window, it said "Connecting in -5s" and the time kept incrementing negatively. Also, when I right-clicked on the tray icon to close Digsby, I got a menu with just "Add Group."

This new build is definitely the best one yet in terms of performance.

I have 2 features request:

1. To be able to start Digsby when Windows starts minimized in the system tray.

2. One problem I have with Digsby starting with Windows is that it tends to load up before my wireless adapter does and every time I get a "Failed to connect" error because I haven't even connected to the internet yet. Maybe there could be an option to delay trying to connect Digsby for 10 seconds or so.

Lastly, the only thing to me that could make Digsby the ultimate software is to include IRC support. That way, I wouldn't even have to use MIRC anymore. Thanks again!

still takes to much ram for a chat application...trillian is much more ressource friendly!

I really like Digsby and hope some of these features will be added soon; being able to have our own picture to display, a enter button in chat box, fix the smilies(can hardly make out what they r) a link to friends profiles, web cam usage. i love the spell checker!!

I absolutely LOVE Digsby... but one question: when will you add Windows Media Player support for the "Listening to music" status message?

Even if you never do I'll always cherish the day I dropped Trillian like a hot potato for Digsby!

Wow.... this is just amazing. I remember when I first used it. The ram was extremely high but now.. amazing. Thanks for the awesome work!!

Just wanted to congratulate you guys on this new version. Ive been holding off recommending it to friends and family members purely due to the poor resource handling and memory leaks. This new version seems to be greatly improved and I have now been telling everyone to give your software a try. Thank you again for providing ad-free and cost free IM software!!

MAC version!!!!!!!! :-)

digsby rocks for sure. I am a big fan from africa and i have atleast 20+ people to my credit whom i've introduced to the application and the've not complained one bit. just makes my life so easy..... (i also featured you on my blog for free.... send that check ... lol.) but honestly, great work!

hi

Mac support please.

Everything works great so far! I have just one feature request (beside - as always - Skype and gadu-gadu supoort). Could you please add status settings for facebook - all of my friends see me online, but when they try to chat with me, it blocks them and informs them that I am offline. When I write to them first, I suddenly appear as online and they are able to chat.

I tried this a while back and it just ran slowly and poorly for me. I could tell it was what I was hoping for (namely something that reminded me of Adium X on Windows), but I wound up uninstalling it.

I have to say this is a HUGE improvement. It runs better, it's faster and it doesn't really hog RAM at all. I get about 12 MBs according to WTM and that's with a few conversations going.

Nice job.

Love the work your team has done with the program. One problem though. I've noticed that while my memory usage is now around 52MB, I get random cpu spikes when trying to open a new chat window or switch to a different tab within a single chat windows.

Just wanted to let you know. If you need any more information, please let me know. Thanks.

This application is awsome. I have started pimping it out to all of my friends, several people have switched just in the last couple hours and they all LOVE IT! As a Microsoft employee, I just wish we had put this together :-)

I also posted the app to one of our Internal employee "Cool Stuff" links. I've started to see a positive response already!

Just one ask - a feature request: Have one "Status Update" field in the Buddy List window that updates your status automaticaly across all IM clients and Social Networks you are logged in to (A batch process that would update your status across all apps and post a tweet). That would seal the deal for me, for sure.

@Doug:
"3 The ability to hide the list of offline buddies. This would shorten up the buddy list for those of us with huge buddy lists."

You can do that. Click the View menu item and you should see it there with a few other options.

Good update!
However, after Digsby updated (over the previous version) it started up fine. But then after I closed it, and tried to reopen it later it wouldn't open at all. I saw no process for it running. I uninstalled Digsby and reinstalled it and it works on first run now. I'll post again if it fails to start again.

Nice job. Keep it up. Expecting more in future. Thanks & Regards.

I was the memory uses issue for some times which was really annoying. But, this release fixed that issue completely. Thanks all of you of Digsby's Developer Team.
Thanks Again,
Amit

There is a poll on digsbies.org (the community website) asking how much RAM digsby is using for you now:

http://digsbies.org/site/node/362

Penny,

1. I installed it over my old version and it took just fine.
2. All your settings are stored on Digsby including skins, position, etc.

Thanks Digsby crew for a great release.

when i used x@yahoo.com, there is a bug that my status is never displayed well to my friend, i can change it to 'busy', 'listen to music',etc... , but only shown in myself and it won't show like that to my buddy (always show 'available'), but when i used y@yahoo.com the status is well..(i can change it to busy, listen to music, etc.. and show well to my buddy) i don't know what's wrong...

is it because wrong digsby setting or my email setting?

but if i use yahoo messenger, both of them is ok..

anyone know about this problem..?
(i used the newest digsby version, build 17926)

The day I am going to use Digsby will come when messaging with diacritics will work correctly with all the other clients. Currently massages containing diacritics sent by QIP users I get as Cyrillic. When I send a massage containing diacritics to ICQ 2001 users, they get something indescribable...
Oh man, how I wish to change from Miranda to some better client which Digsby just could be.

I'm at about 60MB with AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GChat, and Facebook Chat as my chatting networks. I have my Gmail account on there and have no social networks.

Does 60MB for that seem right?? Seems high to me...

You should add a function same as yahoo messenger which alows send a message to multi buddies. thats is a very useful function.

Excellent!
Next stops (on my whishlist):
- Linux version
- Mac version (for SWMBO)
- Sametime support (We can help here)

:-) stw

hey do I have to set up Digsby all over again after downloading the new version ?

Just heard about this program today, and I'm trying it out now. I've been using Trillian for a while, but Digsby is much better already.

Just one question-- any plans for MySpace Messenger and Skype support?

i'm still having trouble with incoming file transfers. i just get connecting to "screenname" but it never actually connects. it works when I send them files but not the other way around. any idea how to fix this or know what's wrong?

Hey, I know this isn't the proper forum for this, but I have a feature suggestion: Send Message to All. It's a great trilly thing I used to send out my Hello's and Goodbyes, after all, they don't really vary from person to person.

Awesome updates So far =) Ram usage is down considerably now if Firefox would not memory leak so damn much =/


one bug/glitch i seem to have run across in the new version was MSN well still connected glitch when making a Conversation connect and then wouldnt let me disconnect from MSN untill i closed and restarted Digsby other than that its been Amazing =)

i am finally joining sites that i have been asked to join but havnt till digsby supports them =)

Is there a problem with Google Chat or is it just me?

Before it was using just over 8MB, plus Facebook without any conversation windows. I had to make sure it was even showing in Task Manager.

Currently using 17.6MB, which is already a noticeably vast improvement. Still hikes while skinning it, but still, this feels so much better to use already.

Bye, I meant Bye ;-)

LOL Martin, I'd say you're lucky... look at what's happened to me LOL

Hi again, uninstalled, redownloaded, reinstalled... same as before.
I'm flabbergasted :-O
A thing like this has NEVER, EVER happened to me before, with any program I used. Usually either you have error messages or just cannot install, or the program freezes... but a program that just sits there sleeping and doesn't allow you to do anything, not even closing it, in no way, ehr, well... a bit shocking, isn't it ;-)
Now I'm VERY curious to see if this happened to someone else, or if you manage to understand what happened :-)
By for now :-)

Am I the only one with a problem with the new build????
Digsby didn't show my ICQ contacts!
HELP!!

is offline messaging supported for the MSN Protocol?

Wow LENGENDARY! This is like.... firefox >>>> GOOGLE CHROME!!!!! I would leave Digsby on all day long and it'd hike up to about 100mb's! Now that i leave it on all day it's reduced to about 32mb! Now i can play world of warcraft in ultimate peace! Thanks Digsby you guys are awesome!

nice update, thanx. Looking fwd for orkut support

@Carbonize: Preferences > Privacy. Set it to allow messages from those on your buddy list only. That is actually the new default starting this release.

@San Franciso Hypnotherpy: "Ctrl + Shift + Esc" and choose processes.

Any chance of adding an anti spam bot challenge now? Spam on the MSN network is increasing.

How do you I see how much RAM is it using? It like to see before I install the new version.

Looks good. A few things for the next version;

1 Skype IM integration(Voice and Video if possible)
2 Search across history of chats with a friend, better yet, search across history of a filterable list of friends. Sometimes friends have more than one IM account.
3 The ability to hide the list of offline buddies. This would shorten up the buddy list for those of us with huge buddy lists.

Great job with the new stuff.

-Doug

Now all that is needed is IRC support and I'm 100% sold. Any updates on when we can expect IRC?

Keep up the good work.

I've been using Disgby for a few month's, waited for this upgrade.
Thanks alot! good job!

Any thoughts on using the invisibility feature that "Pidgin" has?

You guys rock! This is by far the best app I've ever used!

THANKS!

Petar
http://iBetaTest.com

Great job dev team! My mem usage went from almost 80k yesterday to about 17k after the install today!

Thanks for the great program.

Songbird 0.7 does not work with the 'Listening to Music' feature. 0.6 did work. Could we get a quick fix?

Great job. I must, though, again press for the ability to vary the formatting of a profile or away message. That is, it remains that either the whole thing is, for example, bold or none of it is. I would hope this would be fairly easy to add.

Cheers.

This is great! But I'm still missing some funcions: a webcam-feature, and "automatically accept file requests"

Now all we need is to be able to alphabetize the away message list and we will be golden.

Where is the Sametime support folks? Been asking for this for months now! :(

This is a good release but I still have a small request. There's still no option to sign on as invisible. That is one of the only reasons I use Pidgin (that and Pidgin is portable but idc about portability as much)...
Other than that, great release for a great program :)

Agreed Misty...

Hopefully by "group chat are pretty close to the top of the priority list", steve meant that it IS at the top of the list, and will come in the next build.

Hey Steve, with this new build released, can we expect things to return to a quicker build cycle, with new releases every week or so?

Thanks for the beautiful software :-)

Nice! Uses about 8MB of RAM with no chat windows open, and goes higher when I have a few open, and then once I close them, the RAM usage goes back down!

Wonderful update!

YAY! I've been waiting for the new update, and I LOVE that you included LinkedIn with this one. You guys are well on your way to pretty much being the one console I can run my entire life from. Now all I need is OTR support and Google Calendars, and I'll be all set. WHOO HOO! Great job!

Dear Digsby developers!

My memmory usage from Digsby dropped from 59k to 26k! Oh my god! I love you even more!

Really, keep up the good work!

Great update! I still have to have two clients open however since I use chat rooms - I'd love to see this feature next!

Awesome.. Love updates.. BTW..did you guys know that Felcia Day uses Digsby??

http://twitter.com/feliciaday/statuses/933606548

Neato.. :)

@Aditya - We will be adding more protocol-specific features such as BUZZ in the future for sure.

@kcg - Take a look at the instructions at digsbies.org

@Laurie - Were you already running the test release? The reduction is about 50% - 75% from the old stable release that everyone was running and the test release already had most of the improvements

@Zwer - Sending you an email to see if we can figure out what went wrong

Congratulations, very very good upgrade ^-^

Awesome! Downloading now. Thanks, guys.

Awsome work, folks...
Digsby easily beats any, repeat, ANY IM client...

Though there are some features of Yahoo! messenger (the next best, in my view), that I miss, especially the IMVironment, the BUZZ!!! and the large pool of animated smileys.

And i also wish you guys add Orkut soon to the added to the supported Social Networking Sites enabled... That done, I guess I wouldn't ever need to open up a browser ever again!!!

Good job Team Digsby!!!

great work!!!
Awesome the ram reduction!!!!

But when will you support Studi/MeinVz.net?
It's the leading social network in germany!
It's nearly similar with facebook!

Best regards!

good built guys, B U T.... big fat bug prob.....you cannot change the message style!!!!! i put the style into the folder and everything like ever and restarted digsby....but you can't select it. so what's wrong with that?????????

I love this program! Beatiful, functional, fast! :D Faster than Pidgin which is what I used before, certainly more polished. My only quirk is that if you instal this build over the last one, it deletes your skins, but that's a minor error.

Overall, THANK YOU! =]

good work I really enjoy it

digsby.... d besst

Yeah, so much for that theory of reducing RAM usage by 75%. On my system, it's dropped closer to 10%, perhaps 15% if I'm lucky. Sure, the improvement is nice, but it would be even nicer if I got the RAM improvement as advertised.

thanks a lot for this great product !
Really new "must have" on computer :p

GREAT JOB!!!!
After 5 years as a trillian basic user, Digsby converted me!
I'm running here between 4-18 MB RAM with 4 IM and 4 e-mail accounts.
Congratulations!

I'm downloading the update now. Thanks a ton for this - my big beef with Digsby has been how awfully slow it runs on my system (1.5G RAM, Vista Ultimate, AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual-Core 1.80 GHz) even when nothing else is running. I love the program and thank you for putting in the work on this!

Installed it (on XP SP2) and it just hangs when connecting. Previous release was working fine and dandy, now it wont even start... That's what you get when you don't listen to the old one - if it aint broke, don't fix it...

Sounds great, can't wait to test it.
I know youtube doesn't qualify as social network, but if updates for it could be provided, it would be great.
Also, if you ever decide to add buzz/nudge feature please, please, please, make sure it can be easily disabled, as I hate it more than anything.
Thanks

I've just started using Digsby a month ago and it is heaven sent. Just what I needed and now you integreate LinkedIn and with all the other improvements?

AWESOME, keep up the great work! I will fan the flames on my blog!

-sam

1) Can you just install it over the top of your existing install or do you have to uninstall old one first?
2) If you uninstall prev, and then run new setup, will it keep the current database - will we need to re-enter all the details?

Just wondering before I do the wrong thing :)

Hi. I like digsby, i use digsby. Here is my blog. Glad to update it.

http://digsby-messenger.blogspot.com/

I really liked that also the MSN accounts can be previewed - in addition to the other improvements. Thanks, guys!
Digsby is perhaps the most useful tool I have on my PC's.

good job!

I love u guys! That's fantastic...

You weren't kidding. This is waaaay better than the previous versions! Great job guys!!!

well done! i like it..but when digsby can update or link with new emoticon?

AWESOME Job guys!!! I've re-invited all the rocket scientists that didn't add Digsby the first time I invited them :P

Hi guys! Great job! Thanks from Russia! :)

Now all it needs is the ability to manually assign/change icons for contacts, and better echoing of status changes inside conversation windows and it'd be perfect

Just installed, my RAM usage went down from 116 to 18!!!

Thats beyond fantastic here!

Was there an update to the skin architecture as well? Seems code such as $MyBlack does not render properly in Aero Glass-Like

http://digsbies.org/site/node/210

look forward to your response!

Hey awesome. I have been using the testing release so I've been benefiting from all these enhancements from the get-go but I just wanted to say you guys are doing an awesome job and can't wait to see what's in store next!

I also dugg the story! Again great job guys!

Great Release. You guys will zoom like rocket if Skype is added

Srini

Good work guys! Are you working by any chance on supporting Orkut?

great job guys....
ever since I used Digsby I am hooked, I reported couple of bugs, support was great.
I take this oppertunity to say a big THANK YOU. And congratulations on the latest version.
Installing it just now...hope it has the mac support so I could one of my friends too.

thanks for this highly commendable application, i need to ask favor from you guys, can you chikka messaging, it will benefit million of people accross the world without pc on the other side of the line. thanks.

Great work..and very useful.
keep up the good work.
Thanks.

I'm really liking how this client is progressing and I like following the beta progress. I'm not currently using it since i use video in each of the clients on their own. Maybe im beating a dead horse here but I'm curious about the possibility of native video being implemented across the board. You guys would leave all other messengers behind.

IS anybody else's CPU% spiking above all possible reason?

any chance we could get an on.mouse.hover = show linkedIn profile in floating window just like on their site?

this would give quick access to network updates and profiles.

great work

Working great! Running Facebook, LinkedIn, gMail, two AIM accounts, one YIM account...memory is stuck at 21,684kb

.....sickness

That's great!
The only thing that still have problems is the file transfer that is ultra slow. I hope it get's updated when possible.

Congratulations, you guys did work hard. Thank you.

@James: Either one :)

Yo! Thanks for the new up-date-Digsby upgrade! I have one question. '-' ( I'm sorry if It's stupid also ) Which download button do we click? The top one or bottom one? Thanks if you answer it!! Thanks again! :D

Big thanks! but... uhm.. still no buzz/nudge feature?

Thanx a million, I'm spreading the word here in Puerto Rico!!!

Wow, this program is useful for my new HTML Scratch project and Myspace! Thanks for this! :D

Great!! I just got it this morning. :p
Good works.

@Kelly: Digsby opens your default browser. Double check the preference in your browser to make sure it is set as the default.

@Jonathan: We will add a long list of advanced prefs hidden away somewhere and that will be one of them :)

@Jared: Click the "X" on the buddy list to minimize to tray.

Yay I have hotmail previews again! Thanks team Digsby for all your hard work!

Yes, but will it allow me to choose which browser to open when I click something? I don't use IE anymore. Firefox or Chrome, please.

LinkedIn support as well? You guys are NUTS!

Thanks guys. But can you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us the option to turn off the info screen when hovering over a username?

The only thing I want is a minimize to tray! If I had that it would make me feel warm and fuzzy inside...

I love Digsby, and this new release makes it even better. Now all that Digsby would need to add that cherry on the cake would be group chatting. That's all. Then I'd be in love.

Wow! This is a nice improvement. Great work guys.

Nice update! Congrats! Got it up and running now and I will post about it on my own blog later.

I have completely loved using Digsby! I can't wait to begin experiencing the new release. Thanks for keeping things fresh :)

You all are awesome!

blessings,
Wendy Merritt

P.S. I wish you would add Skype, MySpace Messenger and FriendFeed :) Thanks!

i love it. hope digsby in future support orkut socail networks and qq, a Chinese im.

Great release! Also, I don't care if you put the "make google my homepage" option in the installer, as long as it is noticeable and not adware, because it is better than the ads that some other clients display in the program.
Finally, is there any talk about adding IRC support or anything?
Thanks.

Amazing! down to 8-25MB from 75, great work!

Only two things that need improvements. Better themes & a new logo. The trayicon looks like a green semla with a red feather. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semla)

Many thanks to the developers, loving Digsby!

Brilliant Work, I love it,,,

Regards

Yes ;) I like digsby and some days ago I wrote some sentence at my Blog about digsby. So i hope the new Version is much better.

NM, it finally did it.

Everytime I try to DL it, it freezes at 99%

Thanks - You guys are rockin!

On Windows 2000, seeing better RAM usage already :-)

Just need MSN group chat function, and this will have everything! :-)

Hell yeah! Pidgin who?

It seems like when I download this in Google Chrome the file is named digsby_setup.download instead of digsby_setup.exe. A minor annoyance, but I wonder if only Chrome does this, or if you've got a group of users who won't be able to figure out how to open the installer?

Quisiera que incluyeran a HI5 en este grandioso programa y recibir guiños al igual que en el msn... lo demas esta super chevere

Glad to have the finalized version! Good work.

I've been waiting for this for weeks! Yeah! Only wish I could make it portable so I can run it at work. Damn admin lockdown.

Awesome...I'll give this another shot at home (had issues with AIM constantly disconnecting).

I'm waiting for Friendfeed support for Digsby. :)

Nice release, but I think the biggest change I'm hoping for is a vamped-up searching function. For example, the ability to search ALL conversations I've had with a certain person--not having to select a single day and searching within that day's conversation.

Are the links to "make google powered digsby my home page" etc new? I *hate* software that tries to change my search/home page defaults... don't do it Digsby - you're better than that!

Gr8!!
When you will add gadu-gadu network available?

Nice release.
Did you talked already with that guy that we had to vote for you?
When you'll make MySpyceIM available?
Can you add something like Nudge in MSN?
Can you add some icons for Digsby that you use in forum?

The Amazon links for the "Listening To..." feature are pretty annoying. There needs to be a way to turn them off.

Wow! I've always used pidgin, until just now. I love it! Especially the widgets, makes it much easier for my friends.

great!

Thanks for the update !

Epic, nice job Digsby Team

This is way better than sliced bread (and I rate sliced bread very highly)
Support for Skype would be fantastic

You just made my day! I love Digsby, but I was hating the slow down my CPU experienced. Digsby is the greatest!

i love digsby

Hey, great work, love LinkedIn support ;) Do you have any roadmap? So after deserved vacation now ;) what you'll be out to?

Thanks!

Ohh forgot. Skype ( only chat is ok ) would be awsome .. and Craig, it would be better then sliced bread ;)

Thanks guys!

Is there any roadmap for mac support? I feel a bit handicapped on my mac without Digsby hehe.

And Jaiku would be good also!

Yeah, amazing improvement! From ~80 mb to 30 mb for me :)

@Jeremy, they probably measured it at bootup, with no chat windows or anything (just the buddy list) since at boot I was using only 16 mb.

Steve and the team, you are awesome. Loving this release. I just hope Skype gets integrated, even if just for the IM chat, that would make this the most awesome thing ever! Maybe even better than sliced bread ;)

now if it only had myyearbook.com it would be the best ever.

It will be 50% - 75% less. Prior to the release we had reports of 70MB - 110MB and with memory leaks it would climb to 150MB+ after running for 24 hours. It should hover at 10MB - 50MB depending on how many accounts you have running and what you are doing at the moment.

I'm running at 49mb now with Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, gchat, AIM, and yahoo. It was only around 80mb before. What's that 75% based on?

Incredible.

A great improvement to an outstanding product!

@rob
Lost my train of thought earlier it's now running at <40 mb down from 100 before.

WOOT!!! CONGRATS! I'm excited!

Check out the Mashable coverage: http://mashable.com/2008/09/24/digsby-linkedin/

when will it become available for everyone who don't want to register in order to use it?
i just want to try it out. you didn't even put a portable version for it...

Good job guys..ever since using digsby i'm in love with it.it has make my life more up to date with 10 different email,facebook,ym,gtalk..

keep up the good work

Hmm, Chrome :D

b2t: A great build! Now all my contacts are displayed. And MSN tries to reconnect, simply a good build for me.

I hope there will be a build with new functions and not optimizations (this build is not bad, but ...)

Awesome work guys! Thanks for the LinkedIn support! Now my networking is getting more and more streamlined!!

@Josh: It's a Google Chrome bug. Rename it to .exe and it will install fine.

Finally! MSN works through my corporate proxy servers! Using ISA & the firewall client .. woot! Keep up the awesome work, guys.

hmmm... it downloads as digsby_setup.download and i can't figure how to open a .download file... any help?

@Jeremy: That and group chat are pretty close to the top of the priority list along with a few more social networks and then the mac/linux launches.

@Ryan

The update size is bigger than the installer, and there are bugs with the previously released updater component that would cause it to fail.

Awesome. How was I ever content with AIM Triton? Or, hell, even Pidgin?

Still would like it if I could italicize/bold individual words in an IM line (not just the entire line). RAM usage is more important though.

We appreciate the consistent work and support!

Awesome it is now running at <100 mb of ram with 5 emails, facebook, twitter, myspace, and a half dozen im clients.

Interface is definitely snappier.

Very nice. Just installed it on my work PC. Can't wait to install it on my home Mac. ;)

Why wasn't this automatically downloaded?

Congratulations on the new "official" release. I already tested the Beta-releases and haven't had any great problems with them.

Thank you guys for all your hard work. As you may know, I was a Miranda IM user for years, but since I discoverd Digsby, I really fell in love with it and doesn't need Miranda IM anymore.


Keep up that good work! :)

Very nice! I've been a convert for only a short time after using another product for years. In the brief time you guys have been around you've definitely overtaken the pack!

@Andreas: It is at http://changelog.digsby.com as always. We didn't list every bug fix this time though. There were too many revisions to sift through to make the list. The next revision will have a full list again though.

Hi, could you please give a link to a changelog, or quote the newest part please? I'm always interested in reading which bugs have actually been found and fixed. thanks a lot

Good job gang, I know you guys worked quite a bit on this release. Well done.

Awesome! Great work everyone. Thanks to everyone who contributed in BETA testing... looking forward to future enhancements! Thanks again! Digsby FTW!

Dugg and way to go guys!

Great build guys - keep up the good work!
