This page contains a summary of changes we make in every release of digsby. These updates are automatically installed when you start digsby so there is no
need to re-install.
Major Changes
New Skins: The “Windows 7” skin now has 8 new variants by @derekerdmann. Access them via Preferences > Skins
Windows 7 Support: Digsby takes advantage of jump lists for easy access to common tasks and top buddies (by log size). We also use taskbar grouping to let you jump to conversations, see typing notifications and unread conversation counts
Better Popups: Social networks will no longer show a separate popup for Alerts and the titles will no longer say “Facebook Newsfeed” with a generic Facebook icon. Instead, you will see the friend's picture and name with a small badge in the top right for each network. You can also comment/like Facebook items right from popups
Trending News: We've partnered with the folks at OneRiot to bring the latest trending news stories to your social feeds. You can enable/disable via Preferences > General & Profile
Facebook Dislike: We're amazed by how many people wanted to “Dislike” Facebook posts. The “Dislike Button” Facebook page has over 3.2 million fans! You asked for it, you got it.
MySpace Newsfeed: We've revamped the MySpace newsfeed to support their new APIs so it looks a lot more like the Facebook/Twitter feeds including the ability to comment on statuses
MySpace Achievements: Back in September we introduced achievements for Facebook and the functionality is being ported over to MySpace
Yahoo HTTP Support: Restrictive firewalls and proxies should no longer be an issue for Yahoo Messenger users. Edit the account in preferences and set it to “Always use HTTP”
