I am proud to announce that the final public version of Messenger Plus! 3 will be released soon, in only a week from now! The release of Messenger Plus! 3 marks a major milestone in the world of Messenger add-ons and can easily be compared to the revolution brought by Messenger Plus! 2 more than a year ago. The user interface has been completely redesigned, everything looks more professional and appealing than ever before, new features have been added, old features have been improved, all of them are more accessible, more useful, and simpler to use.

Messenger Plus! 3 will be released along with a brand new version of this web site, equivalently improved. The official public release date is Sunday, May 23rd 2004 at 8:00AM GMT. Prepare yourself for some serious change, MSN Messenger will never be the same!

A date, an hour, wow .

After that marketing-ish post, I must say that it's worth the wait

(Please, people, don't start complaining that there was speculation about it being released before)

COngrats Patchou!

its been alot of work getting here. i know (because i've tested it) that this version is a huge improvvement over plus!2, both graphically and functionally. while there are only a few new features compared to , they are very good.

the new website will be very good, im sure. Guido/GFD does excellent work.


congrats on making it this far, andd thank you for this wonderful program.

for those interested, here is a list of what time Messenger Plus! 3 will be released in you'r timezone.

and heres a countdown: 7489 days, 7 hours, 22 minutes, 20 seconds ago

I was about to post that WDZ Seems very few people have access to a current calender

Very Nice, I shall be downloading that ASAP

8 am it is! I was wishing it'd be earlierr but this is still awesome

Yeehh
I have seen some nice screens, thumbs up Patch

crap...ill be in school. ill get it at 3:35 then woo

Great . Now I have an official date to wait for. Can't wait


By the way: The thing at the top that says the release date could have the same size font as the table above it with the menu and then it would be able to fit the Release date and Countdown next to it....And it would look better.

Maybe a mod should edit the original post and remove the day (leaving just May 23rd 2004) before the "big" sites pick up the news?

Great news!

Has anything related to logging changed? (about the log format itself). Because I'm just finishing my Log Viewer, I wish I don't have to rewrite it all

Maybe he did it on purpose

Note about mirrorrs. Don't worry, as always, there will be plenty of mirrors on Simtel, about 24 hours after the release is made . Meanwhile, you can post your own mirrors on the forum if you want, it cant hurt

Kewl!! I will definatly look forward to it! I will prolly tell ma friends about Messenger Plus! 3 and give um a mirror link that yall post here!

Mhhh, I haven't try to calculate it, but it seems a bit rare to me that in Kiritimati it will be released on sunday at 10 PM when in London it will be on sunday at 9 am. That's a difference of 13 hours and I think it's impossible since there are only 24 time zones in the world. If I'm wrong, please forgive me, it only sounded me strange....
And as I have already said: COngratulations Patchou
Bye

im not goin to sleep today!!! ive to wait till 10am.. oh man... im so excited

Patchou, you're so ..... great!
I've had a really big laugh reading this text:


"[...] A Find Text feature has been added to the chat windows (only in MSN Messenger 6 and above). [...]

===> If the text found is displayed behind the search window, the window is moved a little . "

This feature is brilliant and really proves the excessive zeal of Patchou, don't you agree?

What is the feature exactly? Could someone tell abt it?



Thanks

I cant wait for this release...But i have to, Hurry time, SPEED UP!
