A new release of Chit Chat, our Facebook desktop application, has been released today. The new release fixes Facebook login problems that occured over the weekend and introduces a new skin, proxy functionality as well as bug fixes.

Users are advised to update, in particular those that like to make use of their Facebook email address to login to Facebook chat. The update to our Facebook software, is however optional - at the time of writing, you will be able to continue to login to Facebook chat using previous versions (v1.45) using your Facebook username. 

Over this weekend a fault with Chit Chat has developed. Users at the time of writing will find that they recieve "Login Failed" when they try to access Facebook chat using their Facebook enabled email address. A fix is being worked on.

For the time being users are advised to use their Facebook username to login with Chit Chat. Read more to find out how to identify your Facebook username.
