New Digg is a resurrection of old Digg by a completely different company. [1]
The Digg v4 thing was a very big deal back when it happened. In a matter of a month or two, Digg lost the majority of its traffic to Reddit. I personally remember switching pretty much overnight after v4 when beforehand I always thought Reddit was inferior to Digg.

Edit:
Found an old graph of the traffic dropoff when v4 launched [2]
