Build 43 – Friday Treats

December 12, 2008 @ 6:24 pm EST · Filed under Releases

We just pushed Build 43 to all users. This includes all users who are running extremely old releases that have not been updated since last May. If you have trouble with the auto-update, download the installer directly here:

http://update.digsby.com/install/digsby_setup.exe

The release pushed out today to all users includes all the features, bug fixes and enhancements in Builds 38, 39, 40, and 41 on our Change Log. Notable changes include:

Implemented a completely new method of load balancing and authentication. This will help us continue to scale reliably.
Fixed Gmail/ICQ connectivity due to protocol changes. Gmail will not have auto-login for now but we will bring back the functionality
Implemented a new version of TokBox for a better audio/video chat experience. Just click the “Video” button at the top of the IM window
Added support for complex languages such as Arabic and Thai
Fixed numerous crash causing bugs, memory leaks, and performance issues

If you experience any bugs please use “Help > Send Bug Report” in the main menu to submit a diagnostic log or email us at bugs@digsby.com. If you have any suggestions, please email us at features@digsby.com.

As always, thank you for all the feedback and enjoy the new build. Remember to invite your friends to use Digsby via Email or Facebook.

Update 1 (12/13/2008 5:45pm): We just pushed a small update fixing an issue that caused a portion of users to get stuck in “Loading Contact List” when logging into AIM or ICQ.

Update 2 (12/13/2008 10:45pm): We just pushed another small update with a complete fix for the AIM/ICQ issue. Thank you to the alpha testers who helped us test this fix on a Saturday

digsby rocks! i use it @home and @work.

have some requests though, please add the "BUZZ" feature of yahoo messenger. my mom is always away from her pc and it would really help if i can buzz her anytime..

thanks!!

Ria

btw ur work is simply great i m really impressed :)

Ria

I just want to know whether your video is encrypted or not?

Slow Link

SparticleBrane has it right--"GIVE US AN OPTION TO OPT-OUT OF YOUR AUTOMATIC UPDATES!!"

My cellular link is dog slow but I *have* to use it. I don't have to use Digsby. I don't care if you have to make an incompatible update & break things until I update but I want to control when updates are downloaded.

SparticleBrane

Am I the only one who thinks there should be an option to turn off automatic updates?

I HATE programs that do things I don't tell them to do. HATE it. Programs should NEVER do anything that you as a user don't tell them to do.

I drive home, get on my parents' internet (512/128 DSL...yuck) and try to sign online, but can't.

Digsby won't let me. Why? Because I have to wait for 5 minutes for it to download a 17MB update that I didn't want OR ask for.

WTF.

GIVE US AN OPTION TO OPT-OUT OF YOUR AUTOMATIC UPDATES!!

Ashitaka

I want to see if Digsby going to support Skype as well as having a mobile apps to support blackberry. It is very good with the support now.

hiflyer780

any ideas about when the Linux release is coming out?? Digsby is so much better than pidgin!!

Ana Jordan

great messenger but have many problems

so over it

I can't take Digsby seriously until a release for Mac is made available. This should be top priority in Digsby development, guys. Flip this sucker to ludicrous speed!

Kid Arez

When will there be a priority in file transfers for MSN?

1.30 KB is ridiculous if I want to send a simple image of 1 MB.

Xapp

...and STILL there is no way to limit the endless flashing taskbar new message notification? It's can't be that difficult. It just can't. *whine* *cry*

lara

I'm having problems with the update!? Digsby downloaded the update but now I can't even open it. I rebooted, but Digsby won't open at all. Any suggestions?

Lane

Ugh - WTF is with this new installer? That's going to wean me off Digsby with a quickness.

Armain

Alright! Gmail works again!
nice job guys!
Keep it up!
;))

vinniv

Running great on XP SP2. I've got 2 gmail addresses, twitter, linkedin, two AIM sessions, one YIM session running and memory is only at 18mb.

Great job!

Stubbs

Really stellar work, gents. Keep it up!

John

OK. So...just checking... is Build 43 also r19594?

pxd

Keep up the good work!

rams

Now let's make it perfect by adding "send message to all users in a group"

Keep up the good work

and
thanks

jase

Anyone else have problems with facebook login ??? It's dishing up some SSL error.

Sameera

Guys, I love you. But, for god's sake stop overwriting my smiley theme every time you do an update.

Jonann`

digsby, will you marry me?

Steve

@Andreas: Use Help > Send Bug Report to submit a diagnostic log.

Matt

Love Digsby, but I have to second what Eric said above regarding the horrible new installer (trying to trick people into installing crapware? I thought you guys were better than that), and issues with the latest update.

Andreas

Great product guys, but Gmail still 'Failed to Connect' on both my accounts...

Erik

Best IM ever made!

marcos

My I have a suggestion for Digsby team?
It would be very nice if the conversation dialog that appear in the left corner (optional) can be closed by pressing ESC key.
Keep it up guys, you are doing a wonderful job.

wookie

If only PGP desktop played well with digsby ;)

Selwonk

These updates are great but when are you going to add new features to Digsby? I've waited for so long. All the updates are just fixes mostly.

Nathan Mylott

I never had a problem with Gmail on mine. What I want to know is: WHERE'S THE MAC VERSION?

Jeff

Thanks for the update, but I'm still getting random crashes. I'll keep sending those bug reports. =)

Jon-Ace

Keep it up you guys! You've yet to disappoint!

LightAce

I always love it when Digsby updates, its always a surprise

Igor

IRC protocol would bi nice. I hope it will bi next protocol.

dz

email notifier for gmail doesn`t work since yesterday ("Failed to connect").

can someone explaine me why?

i tried to instal something from this url http://update.digsby.com/insta...,

but install process cannot start.

how to fix that problem, till yesterday everthing worked just fine.

tnx in advance if someone give advice.

Fishbulb

Great update. Fixed my Gmail issue. I have to say, though, this won't feel like a finished product to me until I can selectively format characters within a message.

Scott Leffler

I've tried several multi-IM programs ... but Digsby is - by far - the best I've played with. One question, though. Is MySpace IM in the works? That's the only thing I'm missing.

bubazoo

I'm still having trouble adding users to my contact list (still same error about unable to add) I notice it most in the yahoo messenger medium. I haven't added anyone to the other mediums to test those out in a while.

I'm also having trouble with file transfers. when someone sends me a file in yahoo messenger, it hangs at the connecting screen and won't transfer.

SalvadorM

Just found how to enable it. My bad, as I thought it was on the Buddy List when it's actually on on the actual IM window. Cheers!

SalvadorM

Umm, how do you enable Tokbox on Digsby???

NLD

I love Digsby but unfortunately I can't use it just yet. Here's the reason: file transfer auto-accept. This is a necessary feature for me and my group of friends since we pass a lot of files around daily. I used Digsby for a day and loved it but as soon as it became apparent that you don't have auto-accept I had to switch back to MSN Messenger + MsgPlus :(

Huy Nguyen

i love how you guys respond really fast to the gmail bug! great jobs, guys.

Brandon

I would love to use skype through digsby...other than that its perfect!

david davis

Seems to be working fine. Still looking for MSN IM to workbut that's not critical.

Arthur Fidelson

Its good for the Digsby clan with this recent update... however, kindly add up the BUZZ and/or NUDGE from your updates. Thanks... Number 1 in social networking.

David Brown

Nice update, but holy crap, people! I've never seen so much crapware in an installer before! >_>

NsOmNiAc

I would just like a release for linux so I can stop using Pidgin or centerim. LOVE it for the windows platform though!!
N

Eric

The Buzz feature and manual idle are nice enhancements but the conference feature of Yahoo would be outstanding. I use it a bit and now that I use Digsby, I have to logout and log back into Yahoo to use it.

Thank you. Otherwise it is awesome.

Ashraf

Thanks Digsby. now it supports arabic language too.
its really great.

Steve

@All: Thank you for the kind words! We will keep pushing to make Digsby even better!

Mark Cidade

I'm currently using BUild 19586, which I just d/l'd off the front page.

Mark Cidade

I got an error saying that it couldn't find PYTHON25 and it wouldnt load. I had to re-install.

Chris Hansen

Thanks Digsby for the update. Gmail works again and I can now video chat on Gmail with both video and audio. I now only need someone with Yahoo! and MSN to wake up so I can try those out.

Cheers!

Bosniacium

Hey everyone, I'm a long time user and a fan of Digsby. Thanks for working so hard to make updates available for us in a timely manner. Its much appreciated!

I can't wait for a fix that involves gmail auto login. Much like many others, I have multiple gmail accounts I like to check via Digsby and Digsby alone.

Looking forward to it, thanks again!

David Goemans

Works almost 100% perfectly under Wine on Linux. Maybe wine could be considered for the Linux and Mac versions, since minimal work would be required in getting it up to the same quality of the Windows version?

dinko

digsby 4ever :-)

dinko

digsby is the best!!!!!!!

Gaz

Great stuff guys!!! Gmail is working like a charm! Thanks for the fast updates!

Sean Killeen

Performance increase was noticeable, so much so that I came here to see if you were specifically aiming for it.

Nice job!

Iceball24

wohoooooooo, yeha, yipiiiiehhhh!...

just wanted to show my emotion :D

Ragnar

wonderful. haven't had a problem with gmail since. and ICQ works great as well. just wish the update wouldn't "nuke" my custom emoticons every time.

cheers

eman

nice object

TG

and btw, thanks for updates!

TG

guys, please icq X-STATUS!!!
it`s so funny!!!
please!!!

Nivaan Venkat

Digsby is best for me....
thank you to Digsby...

Small suggestion:
Every time it checking updates and then opened. No need to check updates everytime even everytime sign in a day or a hour also.

Cliff

Thanks for the continuing updates, D always works a dream. A long shot, the one thing "I" miss" is not to be able to "talk" as in Google Talk to Google Talk etc. I know we have Toxbox but not quite the same thing. Will there ever be a chance of a cross-messenger phone option to users on other IM's ?

stihia

I think you're the development/support team with the fastest (and 100% guaranteed) response in the world...
Congratulations for your amazing work!

hdche

great work guys :) digsby is the best IM app! :P
thank you for fixing problem with GMAIL and ICQ protocol
:) im just waiting for solid file transfer ;)

gargoyle

digsy is the best

Najeeb Puthiyallam

Everything Works like a charm........... Yeah also try to include that BUZZ (on/off) option... it will be very helpfull..

thanks..

keep rocckinh.. \m/

QAMAR SAEED

Asalam-o-Alaikum,
DIGS BY! the best software as well as freeware i have ever used,connect to all your accounts at one place only at DIGS BY!
I love it and thanks to DIGS BY! team.

ccgrunt

Why can't I italicize only a part of my message!?!? I've been waiting for a few months now. I know you guys can do it. I see other people's messages with only certain parts italicized. I can see the text in the text entry control being italicized. I just... can't control it. Is it really so hard? I can do some Python programming; if I made a demo in your GUI toolkit of choice or something, would you patch it in? I don't mean to sound naggy. I just really, really depend on italics a lot more than I thought I did. And I understand that you probably have a lot of other aspects of the program that need developing. And I'm aware it's closed-source so it's only you and your staff. But please... PLEASE! Think of the italics!

vedran

you've really outdonne yourselves...great

keep up the good work guys

JParrish

As a recent defector of trillian pro.. I'm really happy my main reason for leaving trillian is solved.. you guys are concentrating on your product.. and it shows.. the love .. thats what we all want.. the love.. but DONT smother us either =D I'd pay for it before I'd allow it to become a marketing tool.. please keep that in mind.

Fernando

Best IM software ever!

coderbari

ditto.
Digsby is already above my expectation and I love it. But, it would be cool if you add Yahoo buzz and MSN nudge. People sometime do those things and it shows the message in Digsby but it would be good if it shows some effect in Digsby. Don't need that shaking visual effect(IMO) but the sound effect(may be a buzz sound?) would be good.

Anushka

Digsby's great!!! Keep it up guys!!!

Anushka

Digby's great!!! Keep it Up guys!!!

Eric

now after looking at the forums, i see this issue has been around for at least a week or so...

I apologize. Windows isn't my main os, so i don't really encounter stuff like this often

claptonfan

I've been with Digsby a very short time now, and I'm so spoiled. It's great for me! So glad you fixed the gmail issue, and so quickly. Your speed is almost unheard of. Efharisto

Jake

Great job guys. I'm with nate (I think) - I wish I could set my idle manually. That's the only thing I think digsby lacks. Other than that, I'm so thankful for this free software, which is by far the best windows AIM/etc. client out there.

Moff

The GMAIL is working now but still no auto login... good job digsby and please bring up the auto login for Gmail again..

i'll be waiting for it..

Eric

What is up with the new installer? I launch digsby, it downloads an update, then the updater fails.

Thereafter, the program fails to launch with a "Cannot find python25dll" error or something similar (In retrospect, I should have saved it)

Anyway, I download the installer from digsby.com, and come to find out it's this "installerIQ" mess which asks me to install a bunch of sketchy software.

ALSO it changed my default browser from Chrome to IE.

What gives? What was wrong with the old installer?

I've been recommending digsby to people for a while now, but this new installer makes me more apprehensive to do so. If revenue's a problem, please find a better way than forcing crapware on to unsuspecting users (and changing their default browser unwittingly).

I'm going to hit up the support/forums/send y'all an email to this effect.

henry

i suggested you to add a function like yahoo 'buzz' function. It means you surprised your friend when you chatting in idle mode.

thanks

Luke

Your quick fixes are tremendous, thanks for the hard work guys.

KemKev

Mmmmm..video functionality??? "Just click the “Video” button at the top of the IM window" Has anyone seen such a thing?

Andrew Clarke

Excellent work guys! Keep it up! Thank you thank you thank you for fixing the Gmail issue!

josh

so when r they going to let u be able to just underline, italic and bold just a few words?

Jay

I always welcome updates from Digsby. it keeps getting better!

Samuraigirl

itz all good... but wen i try 2 send a pic 2 sum1 via msn chat d file does not get transfrd... ma frenz dont get d accept or reject option.... the same thing happens wen they try 2 send me sumthing!!!!! then i have 2 login via msn msnger and den send or recieve files!!!!!! this reali is annoying

Alan Huang

Digsby team, you are really awesome! I am enjoying my entire digsby journey right now. In fact, I've even recommended it to several other friends. It would be even more appreciated if you guys could add QQ IM and 126 Mail Account in your program, because it'll definitely a big deal for all Chinese users. Thanks again!

zulhusni

wow, great one! thanks for the update

Bo Stern

Thanks for the update. Does this fix the problem of receiving spam messages via Yahoo messenger, even if I have enabled to Privacy option "Allow only users on my buddy list to contact me"? Please cc bo.stern@mac.com on any response. Thanks.

Steve

Whats the plan on implementing any new features in the wishlist? It seems all of the updates just fix things that become broken

http://digsbies.org/site/wishl...

Cristof

How about Y-M conference???
It's NOT WORK AT ALL!!!!!

Neil

Gmail works! Yay!

My brother was still using Trillian when he visited me recently. I soon converted him. :-)

Why use anything else?

dz

i still have problem with gmail. what i got to do?

Ardi

WOW that's a really FAST fix for Gmail!!! And it would be great if you can set your status to invisible for a group. Thanks for the updates.

Tyu

Korean works great now...you guys are GODS!

Kevin Chau

YES! Gmail is working for me again, finally! thanks for quick fix. Digsby is great. keep adding to the awesomeness guys
