Build 33 - The Need for Speed

We’re back to a rapid release cycle and excited to have a new build ready for you all. We just pushed an update (Build 33, r18139 r18152) which is focused on performance, general bug fixes, and enhancements. As always, you can read the entire list of new features, bug fixes, and enhancements on our Change Log. Notable changes include:

• There are numerous performance optimizations throughout the program, lowering CPU usage and improving responsiveness. We will continue to focus on this over the next few weeks
• Fixed three crash causing bugs thanks to the new crash reporter. Keep the crash reports coming so we can fix any that remain
• Possible fix for 2 bugs that caused the CPU to spin to 100% and stay there
• Attempted to fix a bug that caused some Hotmail to fail at login. We can’t reproduce this with any of our test accounts so please let us know if it didn’t work
• Fixed a bug that caused Digsby to get stuck at “Checking for Updates…” if your proxy returned bad data instead of a file manifest
• Fixed a bug that caused some incoming IM’s to not show for Yahoo accounts

Our focus right now is on fixing a few remaining critical bugs and crashes. We will take some time in the near future to make file transfers solid, fix remaining ICQ unicode issues, add group chat support, and enhance our microblogging support.

As always, thank you for all the feedback and enjoy the new build. If you experience any bugs please email us at bugs@digsby.com or use “Help > Send Bug Report” in the main menu to submit a diagnostic log.
