Build 38 – Quick Patch (and the Crunchies!)

November 24, 2008 @ 1:06 pm EST · Filed under Releases

We just pushed an update (Build 38, r19187 r19212) which is a small patch to bring back MySpace social network functionality. A protocol change earlier today caused users to no longer see status updates in the MySpace infobox.

On another note, the second annual “Crunchies” are here! The Crunchies is an award ceremony organized by TechCrunch, GigaOm, and VentureBeat to honor the best startups of 2008. Last year’s winners included Facebook, Digg, Twitter, Netvibes and many others.

We’ve had an amazing year since our March, 2008 public beta launch and hope you can help us bring home a trophy or two! You can nominate us in as many categories as you want using the links below:

We want to thank you all for your ongoing support and wish you a wonderful holiday season!

Update (11/24/08 5:35pm): We pushed a fix for a crash, bringing the revision to 19212.

I love the digsby logo...
its soooo cute!!!!

Paul

Done. Hope you guys win this one too, and just wanted to say thanks for having me since the beginning. It just gets better and better.

Now, if we could just fix the few remaining problems with MSN live/hotmail, and add a few more music players to the now listening feature....

MRavMac

Please nominate in all categories. Digsby is definitely worth it.

Don't forget to "Promote Digsby", use Digsby Google Search.

Use the Userbars and spoilers that users have made in your forum post around the web.

Digsby Rocks!!

Ily

Done the nominations - you desreve it!
Digsby is by far the best IM application that I tried.
Now, if you only made it also for Windows Mobile...

Jaison

Great going Digsby! **"You will win the Crunchies awards too!"**

Actually, I did a follow-up of all the contests Digsby had earlier asked us to vote for, and found that Digsby had won almost every time (beating many dominant IM clients like Trillian, Pigdin, AIM & even Yahoo Messenger)!! Yo Guyz!

This is Great News for all fans over here.
And this also rationalizes the 1st line of my comment!

Cheers Digsby!

Scarlett

Crunchies are voted for!!! Digsby is my vote all around!!1 You guys have done a fantastic job!!

Steven G

Don't hate Digsby logo. It's too cute. It's lovely for the users that love cute things. :)

Digsby is one of the best Integrated M clients I have ever used so far. Will nominate it for the highest recognition all times.

By the way, I agree that to keep the show on you have to display some adverts somewhere. If it is only on Install Kit, and that too Optional, then there is no worry to that fact. Do know that your loyal customers wouldn't be hurt with that, unless they are forced down to the IM clients, as with other proprietory stuffs.

Only thing missing, is the Orkut feature. With the recent survey you guys pushed, I am confident that you would be adding it in near future, which will make me stick to the client for all social networking, without being dependent on the crappy browsers.

plaok

Nominated everywhere, keep it going folks

Brian

Never mind. It was something known as a Layer 8 error. :)

Brian

I am now no longer able to log into my Jabber server. I am getting an internal-server-error Authentication Error. It worked just fine before the last update. Not sure what else you need.

nitin ule

Amazing application.. just if someone can fix the yahoo messenger sign in problem.. i can signin in the mail account of the same.. but getting problem signing in on the same yahoo account..

also if we will get pop up of orkut scraps then nothing like it.. Gtalk gives you popup window immediately when someone scraps you in orkut scrap book

Steve

@All: Thank you for your support!

@iRodz: Submit a bug report and we'll take a look right away.

@teejerman: We tried to choose a logo that was very "friendly" rather than "corporate"

Saju

Awesome you guys fixed the error in sending files to msn/hotmail accoutns.!!! Love Digsby

Vignesh Babu

I like your software a lot Guy, just missing Orkut in it, my support will be always there for you Guys :) Voted for all Categories :)

Thiru

digsby is a Great,...

toph

Done. A vote in all categories. I may vote again at work. As they say in Chicago; vote early and often!

I just want to say that Digsby is the best thing since sliced bread! Oh, wait... According to Ozzy, Van Halen was the best thing since sliced bread. So, I guess Digsby is the best thing since Van Halen (pre-Sammy)? Or is it the best thing since Ozzy? I dunno. All I know is I'd be lost with out it.

Keep it up!

PS - Stop complaining about the installer and click 'Decline'. These guys could charge a pretty good fee for this app, but they've kept it free. Enjoy free Digsby while it lasts.

- toph

iRodz

and i also wish you could add friendster in you social group!

iRodz

hey..i think theres a problem connecting with the YM!!...

anyone having same problems here??

pls help me...i love this program...dont let me change it!!

benjie

please include skype on your IM feature.also friendster for social networks. allow video chat as well..thanks..so far, so good..

Jason

I would add, however, that I greatly prefer a single, full download. (Personal preference.) Any particular reason you've decided to test an internet download option?

Jason

Steve, I'm unable to test the new installer but as long as it's intuitive for people to bypass the software they don't want (software that could potentially affect their computer's performance overall), I see no problem with it. I say continue with the trial beyond one day despite a haste posting from DLS.

Chris Masinsin

You have a very wonderful work out there! This system really works and should be supported. I love it! Great job guys! You are such genius!

Derek

o.o I can't believe you guys whould push an update to such a relatively minor problem so quickly. Thanks!

princezz_pu3

i recomend digsby for all nominated..
luv digsby..
thx 4 ur software..
dont 4get to supply voice..
coz its as important as writing..
hehe..
thx b4..

teejerman

Digsby is a great free program with many great features,although while it's capabilities are "professional" it's logo icon is NOT...are you trying to appeal only to the sophomoric IM and email client(s)? Your logo doesn't reflect,IMHO,the sharp technology it represents...not that we want you to go all "corporate" on us,but many that I know feel they should be wearing a "beany copter" while signed in to Digsby;something NOT felt while signed into the beta "Voxox."

Steve

@Ray + Espiox: We're testing this installer with a portion of downloads and the offers are 100% optional. At the end of the day, we need to generate revenue to keep the lights on and keep making Digsby better. We'd rather show you ads once during the installation process than plaster Digsby with banner ads like other IM clients do (ie: AIM, MSN, Yahoo, and ICQ).

DalsR

I LOVE YOUR SOFTWARE WILL SUPPORT IT ALL THE WAY

What the hell is with this new installer? I hope this is just some silly experiment, because this is going to turn people away before the app is even installed. Heck, I've been using Digsby for ages and even I'm turned off by this.

Ray

Say it ain't so Digsby!

Miguel Gomez

I will like when someone send me a file I have the setting in Digsby that scan for (a virus) the file before be opened - like MSN Messenger did - setup the antivirus with the messenger.

PS: sorry for my english...

Genci

Voted in every category. You deserve it all ;D.

Digsby is simply the best. Is a very admirable work of the authors. They deserve applauses ;D

The only small hole that remains to complete the puzzle is Skype though it's implementation is not so easy due to the fact that it uses a complicated engine

Apicio

Nominated for all !!!

Digsby always bigger and bigger !!

Al

Done nominated in all categories.Love digsby

Lawrence

Regis

SourNotHardcore

Yeah just nominated Digsby for all categories. Just wish they allready had youtube. And relly wish they can add a Xbox Live social netwrok but regarldess, I'm in love with Digsby and wish you guys the best of luck.

ronaldo

I want to see that digsby start in tray only. (can't find that wish on the wish page.

NaWaR

very nice prog i like it so much ! we have here some problems with msn messenger but with digsby everything is just easy and great thanks dude

rancid

hello,

there are two things
that i wish you do implement it.

(1) ask for setting the status (away / invisible ) before connecting

(2) the window directly pop up when someone send a message to you. its better when it blinking in the tray-bar and the chat-window pop up when the user klick on the blinking icon @tray

thx

p.s. sry for my english

sarf2k4

i had this problem of sending sms to other numbers that is less than 11 digits and more than 11 digits too i wanted to send sms via my yahoo account by digsby but I could not send the sms to other country unless I send the sms using the yahoo sms website. I wonder when will this feature gonna be fixed?

André Kl.

Sometimes I have the problem that friends don't receive some messages or after a short time, like 20 up to 30 minutes.
With the regular icq there isn't the problem.

Have somebody the same problem?

Best regards from Germany!

Josh

Digsby > Pidgin, Trillian

@Róbbi: I agree. Digsby is far and away the best IM/Email app I've ever used.

Let's see some GCal tray-icon agenda summaries.

notnamed

Seems to be working now. :)

Beny

Done, nominated in every category!

waleed emara

Is AIM not connecting after the update for anyone else?

Corey

As a first year at RIT, we see your stickers all over. The Digsby IM client is amazing. I know a lot of freshman who use this now per recommendations of myself and other loyal fans and users. Keep it up, Ill spread the word around the RIT boards.

brwyatt

Nominated for everything (except "Best Technology Innovation Award" to be fair, a multi-network IM client isn't exactly "innovative", although Digsby has much improved upon them and brought a higher standard for others to follow, but imho that doesnt count as "innovative").

John

Can't connect to AIM with this last update. Anybody else having this problem?

Herve Kabla

great job so far!

Róbbi

Glad to have the opportunity to nominate Digsby for everything. Best program I've seen in a very long time- light years ahead ov other multi-platform IMs.

Steve

@catester: It is pushing the update but sometimes the auto-update fails. It will try again next time you restart Digsby. If after 2-3 updates you don't get the update, use Help > Send Bug Report to submit a diagnostic log and mention that auto-update didn't kick in.

catester

When you say you just pushed Build 38, r19187, should I expect to be there? Because when I do a Help | About Digsby, I see "Digsby - Build 18971". Am I at the end of the line for pushing, or should I be downloading that build when I see these blog entries? Because that's not "push" at least as I understand it.

james

I like your software, only problem, each time I wake up the computer from standby, I have to click on each of my email accounts separately and click "check now" to get the latest mail, while I want an option that lets me to check all of them at once. Can't you add just this simple function?

henry

thax too

Dmitry

Done! Nominate in every categorie.

Love your IM and miss the Orkut network on Digsby. But I have faith that soon it will be perffect.

Bruce Sherwin

Digg is the greatest!
