Digsby Beta (build 85)

dotSyntax - (Freeware)

Forget about opening multiple windows on the desktop to be able to discuss with contacts from Yahoo Messenger, MSN, Google Talk with Digsby, a multi-protocol instant messaging software.

Digsby is an all-in-one email software that allows to both manage the email accounts (POP3, IMAP, Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail and AOL / AIM), the instant messaging (MSN, Yahoo, ICQ , Google Talk, etc..) and Facebook, MySpace and Twitter profiles. Using a tabbed window, it allows you to open multiple conversations at once.

With a user-friendly and customizable interface user can chat with his favorite contacts but also consult wink emails, alerts and events in the social network (invitations, updates, etc..). In addition, Digsby offers a widget, which, once installed on a website, the owner can communicate directly with his visitors.

It allows to merge different IM addresses all the contacts so user do not have only one contact per individual.

For this part, it allows user to be alerted to the arrival of an email (it even shows a preview) on any of his accounts and can be accessed by clicking Digsby username you automatically.

The application also allows user to manage his status on different social networks, be warned of the arrival of requests or messages and even monitor the activity of his friends and update their spaces.

This software offers many customization options, allowing to change the theme of the interface, the skin, configure the notification system to change the display of contacts and more.

# Major Changes

- Auto-Update System: We have a brand new auto-update system in Digsby. Updates are now downloaded *after* you log in rather than before. They are then applied next time you restart Digsby so downloading updates never gets in your way. You can also choose whether to automatically download new updates in â€œPreferences > General & Profileâ€. Lastly, clicking â€œHelp > Aboutâ€ will check to see if your Digsby is up to date or if new updates are available for download.

- Accounts Section: We redesigned the Accounts section in Preferences from the ground up to reflect Services you use with features that you can enable and disable for each service. This is much more intuitive than having three separate lists of IM, email, and social network accounts. For example, you don't need to add your Gtalk and Gmail accounts or your Facebook Chat and Facebook Newsfeed accounts separately any more.

- Email/Social Panels: The email and social network panels on the buddy list got a makeover. They now say the service name instead of the login username when you only have one of each service. If you have more than one of any service, they fall back to the login username as before. You can also rename them manually via the right click menu. Lastly, they can now be rearrange via drag and drop (although you can't intermix email and social accounts as each one is a separate list).

- Sorting/Grouping: We changed how grouping and sorting options work in â€œPreferences > Buddy Listâ€. The new set of options is more intuitive by letting you choose the grouping mechanism first and then choosing how to sort those groups. It also allows for an extra level of sorting as a result.

- RTL Support: We added RTL support to all of the IM window conversation themes. They determine how to align the messages based on the first character of each IM. The input box in newly created IM windows also automatically sets the RTL option based on your current keyboard setting.

- ICQ Spam Blocker: We added an option in the Privacy settings for ICQ accounts to automatically block friend requests with URLs in them. This option is ON by default and should help cut down on ICQ spam significantly.

- Stability: We fixed several memory leaks related to account disconnects along with several of the most common crash causing bugs to improve Digsby stability and performance.
