A date specifies for WLM and MLP 4.0 ? by totoguns on 03-17-2006 at 03:05 PM

Is what there is a precise date of live exit for Windows Live Messenger and Messenger live more beta 4.0??  Because I await with impascience the live exit of Messenger plus more beta 4.0 as I am not beta tester.  On the other hand I am beta tester of Windows Live Messenger but without Messenger live more beta 4.0 it misses many small things very intéressentes.

There is no date at all. MP!L will be released around the same time that WLM will be released. But nobody know the real date when WLM will be released. Rumours say end of April.

OK Thank you .  But can one test messenger live?  Because me I would be delighted to test it by!  It must be really well and Windows live messenger for the moment is really not exeptionnel !

Testers have already been choosen. It is not possible to get into the testing group at this time. Maybe you will have more luck becoming a tester next version.

Ah ok. damage I would have liked to test messenger more!

Why not make a public testing for that ? I think it would be better to release a beta version for a new WLM version, just like MSN Shell...

BTW, how to get into the test group for the next time...?

Patchou doesn't wanted it as a public beta for his own reasons.  I cant remeber what they are but they are posted somwhere around these forums.  Next time around Patchou will probably use the same method that he did this time by emailing him with certain information or He will tell us how he wants it done next time.

its fact a long time that requests for Messenger more! Live Are finished?


RE: A date specifies for WLM and MLP 4.0 ? by absorbation on 03-18-2006 at 01:41 PM

He does'nt want a public beta, because he does not want buggy releases. Testing is not for having the program but for finding bugs :P


RE: A date specifies for WLM and MLP 4.0 ? by totoguns on 03-18-2006 at 01:46 PM

OK.  But is what there will be another version beta before the final version?

Really up to Patchou. You see he would love to release a beta to everyone, keep everyone happy and make money. But if there is some serious issues to tackle then people may judge the reliablity of the program. You see it is very popular and if something serious caused damage to your computer it could end the program :P

I've become an Email from Support, because I had a problem with messenger and they say, i should wait a month, because the messenger becomes out of the beta phase.

I think April comes the Final version of WLM

and there is no way patchou will change his mind and releace a public beta, he has made that clear, the ONLY 2 options you have at this point are:

1. wait for WLM and MP!L to become public
or
2. downgrade to MSN 7.5 and use MP! 3.62 untill its public
RE: A date specifies for WLM and MLP 4.0 ? by Stef on 03-18-2006 at 09:06 PM

i know that patchou don't tell us a date ^^

I only say, that the Final version of WLM coming out at april -.-"

and i don'T have an beta of new plus, because, i can't speak good english :P

beta release would not kill messenger plus TBH even if it was buggy :-)

at end of the day messenger plus became known thru word of mouth. i no i've passed it on and even hosted a copy of it on my web server at one stage providing it to over 300 friends + lol  99% of people on my msn didnt even hear of it and would use it until tabbed convo's became part of it :-)

which i done a report on with screens etc on my site when it was first properly released :-)

i end up as first line support on msn i dunno which is worst. 1st line support at work are at home lol.


leave this beta private when its successful enought realease beta to more people via invites or something seen as that is how things are going these days lol

at end of it i just posted this because i hate waiting.

PS weres the screenshots of this beta they'd be nice if patchou would let www.mess.be to new post about it or put it on the plus live site as a small taster :-)

Patchous would have to take care of that himself... The beta testers agreed that they wouldn't disclose any information about MP!L without Patchou's consent.

hmm isn't a nice idea perhaps to release this beta also to forum members orso?? i can remember patch 1's did think kind of stuff i tihnk it was with msn 6.2 --> 7.0 patchou did release a beta version to the genuine people (he did added a "note" that it was BETA matterial)

and on the other hand...

most BETA testers are not dumb msn sl*ts wich MSN all day long, they got into WLM for a reason, so releasing plus to those folks.. would't be mcuh fo a problem would it? (just add a restriction so only plus! for WLM works on the almost good for all peepz aka WLM 8.0 build 566, wich is free to use for any body (they went into public beta testing so no more invites are needed if you use the 566 build, if you use a older build remove that version first, installation of 566 can be *troublesome* if not uninstalling....

Patchou did release a public beta of Messenger Plus! 3.61 (I think it was.) Now the reason this version is a closed beta is because it is very buggy and written from scratch.

It would actually be a problem. Patchou needs to make sure everyone is using the latest build so that he can test it properly. He updates the builds pretty requently and I highly doubt that everyone with the old build would know there is a new one? Also, if it's released to public ohters would put it on their sites and then those sites would be outdated and lots of people would have a old version. Among ohter things...
