New version label by Patchou on 09-12-2004 at 07:51 PM

Hello everyone,

here is just a small note regarding the label of the new version of Messenger Plus!. I decided that it would be labeled 3.20 instead of 3.10 and thus, for multiple reasons (including the fact that there are more stuff I anticipated included inthe release). So don't wonder what I'm talkingabout what I'll be talking about version 3.20 in my future posts, it's the same thing, just with a different label :).

* Kryptonate has to alter his aliases about the ads in MSN

RE: New version label by aNILEator on 09-12-2004 at 08:27 PM

yeah I'm just thinking over his post

'some new features'

hmmmmm *-)

RE: New version label by KeyStorm on 09-12-2004 at 08:55 PM

If everything is goes as expected with translations and debugging, it should be released next weekend.

RE: New version label by Patchou on 09-12-2004 at 09:01 PM

Yep, it's still planned for next weekend. As for the new features, there's notthat much but the one real new thing seems to be pretty popular among my testers. Appart from that, the improvements are worth the updates too (at least,that's what I think).

It is! :D (apart from that docking bug)
And the improvements have made some things like the command helper more useful.
I'm not sure if it should really be labeled 3.20, but if Patchou means it, he must have real reasons for doing so. :P
RE: New version label by aNILEator on 09-12-2004 at 10:48 PM

I'm guessing becasue he has already worked on M+ 3.1 and this is the second revision of it :p

The new feature sounds intrigueing

I agree.

I've seen some things, suggested on this forum which could've been "fixed" (more like improved, eg: http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=27351) which are not and to jump directly to 3.20... hmm, dunno. But this is only me thinking out loud :D The new added features are indeed very nice and Patchou indeed will (and has) his reasons which I fully respect ;)

damn these secrets i shall have to wait until next week, i like the statistical stuff that is being added though :)

RE: New version label by riahc4 on 09-13-2004 at 03:35 PM

I dont know about any new features ( i like surprises tho) just bug fixes/improvments.

RE: New version label by FrozernFire on 09-14-2004 at 11:08 AM

hope it's some nice surprise :)

RE: New version label by Choli on 09-15-2004 at 09:46 PM

:O I didn't notice this thread. Well, if it's going to be labeled as 3.20 I really don't care. Usually software versions are more of marketing than features (look for example at IE 5.5 which should have been called 5.05). Anyway, with this I'm not saying that plus should be called 3.20 because it's a nicer number. I'm sure that 3 months of work deserve going from 3.01 to 3.20 (and also that will not produce mistakes between 3.01 and 3.10)

I Never thought of that! Indeed, I agree with 3.20 now, just because of this :D
RE: New version label by KeyStorm on 09-15-2004 at 10:54 PM

Well, that reminds me of Firefox: after 0.9.3 comes 0.10, which is by the way 1.0PR... :S

3.20 Sounds reasonable :P

RE: New version label by jren207 on 09-18-2004 at 09:29 PM

A higher version means it's a long running respected piece of software :P
