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.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that would cause Digsby to go into a spin trying to reconnect to Twitter if their servers return an unexpected error.
Fixed a bug that caused HTML entities (ie: < > ' &) to show incorrectly in Twitter
Enhancements
Twitter will now correctly use the server time if your local time, date, timezone, or daylight savings preference is incorrect (previously you would get an authentication error)
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused Gmail actions like 'Delete' and 'Archive' to not work if you enabled their new multi-account login option
Fixed a bug in MySpaceIM that caused login to fail due to a protocol change
Fixed a bug in the Research Module that caused Java runtime errors
Enhancements
Major Changes
Group Chat: The long awaited group chat support is finally here! You can create or join chat rooms on AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, Google Talk, and Jabber. Just click the room list button on the top right corner of the IM window and invite others to the chat. You can also create rooms via the menu: Digsby > New Group Chat.
LinkedIn: We're introducing a completely redesigned LinkedIn implementation powered by their new API. You can now do all the good stuff you already do with your other social networks like comment on posts, like/dislike items, etc.
MySpace Like/Dislike: We added Like + Dislike support to MySpace newsfeed items. Since their API doesn't currently support this capability, the link acts as a shortcut for posting a “Like!” or “Dislike!” comment on the thread.
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that caused newlines to not send correctly over Gtalk
Fixed a bug that preventing you from removing buddies from your AIM block list
Fixed a bug that caused HTML to render sometimes when pasted into the comment field of the infobox

Spell Check: We expanded spell check to support over 50 languages instead of just English. The next phase of this project will include translating the actual Digsby client into different languages.
Facebook Chat: Our Facebook Chat implementation will now connect to a new set of Facebook XMPP servers that should be much more stable than the HTTP servers we currently connect to. These servers also report your entire buddy list instead of just online buddies.
Facebook Login: We switched Facebook Newsfeed and Facebook Chat login over to OAuth 2.0, which is a much more streamlined method for requesting permissions that Facebook announced at their last F8 conference.
Twitter Achievements: We added achievements to Twitter (previously only on Facebook and MySpace). You will be asked if you would like to enable or disable this functionality and you can turn it on/off by editing your Twitter account in Preferences.
