@Ccomics88: It is definitely something we are considering.

Guys.

If you want this product to be successful, popular, and fairly bug free, you should open this stuff up. Open Source it. This is the perfect opportunity for an open source project.

A lot of people are afraid of open source. They’re afraid that they’ll lose control of the project. They’re afraid that anyone will be able to change it at will and project will simply go to shit. That’s simply not true at all.

In an open source project, you have COMPLETE CONTROL over what’s added to the project. You’ll have developers submitting patches and updates, but you will be the ones in control of what actually gets added to the central code repository. Your goal for application design will not be compromised.

Why open source it?
1. Better product, more users!
2. Encourage collaboration rather than subversive competition. Will there still be competition? Yes. But it will be encouraging, constructive competition rather than “try to beat the other guy” competition.

Think about it.

Good job finding the weemee bug in msn. I couldnt find the difference making some people visible and some not.

Fixed with a restart of my computer. Weird.

Would it be possible for there to be a check for updates box in Digsby, or for it to ping for new versions every couple of hours or so? I tend to just leave it running for a very long time on my computer and so even though I’m alpha tester, there are times when I miss entire builds since I did not know that there was a new update. I don’t mind restarting digsby to update, I just need to know when to do so, and it would make the most sense to me, based on other programs, for it to either pop up a message saying “hey, there’s a new version, restart if you’d like it” or at the very least let you check without restarting the whole program and interrupting conversations for no reason.

@Coderbari: More often than not it is a network issue. After it disconnects you can use Help > Send Bug Report so we can take a look

@RazzBaronz: No other reports like this. Can you email bugs@digsby.com to let us know if the issue persists.

Auto-hide when docking to the right side of the screen no longer works with this release. I tried un-checking and re-checking the option to do so to no avail. Restarting Digsby didn’t help, either.

By the way, no crashes since I last posted.

I am also an alpha tester. I didn’t face any problem so far. Sometime twitter gets disconnected. I am confused if it is a network problem or a bug.

@RazzBaronZ: We are pushing an update tomorrow that should fix the crash causing bug

@Cappella: No other reports like this – can you submit a bug report?
