Digsby chat client updated, CPU use reduced by 50%
Multi-protocol chat client Digsby received a major update today, with over 100 bug fixes and new features. At the top of the list, the new version should use about 50% less CPU cycles than previous builds.
Digsby is a chat client that lets you chat with contacts whether they’re using AIM, ICQ, Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger, or Facebook Chat. It also lets you read and write updates for social networking sites including Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn.
Here are a few other new features:
- Search your buddy list by hitting Ctrl+F
- Improved file transfer reliability for AIM, ICQ, and MSN
- Support for entering your status on MySpace
- Added support for invisible mode on Gtalk
- New infobox based on WebKit
Some of these features have been available to Alpha testers for a while now, but the new build will allow all Digsby users to access them.
