Hello,

These days, it seems like not much is going on around Messenger. Many MSN/Windows Live Messenger dedicated web sites spend half of their times talking about other Windows Live related projects and with summer only a month away, it seems safe to say that the first half of the year will make history (or not) by being one of the quietest period in the life of our Messenger client… what better time to announce the following?

Messenger Plus! Live 4.21 has been released! yeah! a new version! baked so recently that you may burn yourself if you click on the download button too quickly (consider yourself warned). Once served, the first thing you’ll notice is that it contains less fat than before with a total weight of only 3.7MB per portion: it’s healthier for your internet connection and your computer won’t taste the difference. This new version is largely composed of minor fixes with a touch of improvements such as support for the recently added I’m emoticon (use it!), a better environment for script developers, new notification options for opened conversations, better chat logs for some users, a new Turkish translation, etc... people who want cool new features can always get what they’re searching for in the scripts database like Redminder+ which will remind some people of the old Scheduler from Messenger Plus! 3, Plus!Mail to write quick emails to whoever you want without having to leave Messenger, Stat Center to gather an impressive amount of statistics of anything happening in your Messenger and of course, the WDZ fan club script which is a must for anybody who visits the Messenger Plus! forums regularly.

In this new version, you’ll probably notice something else that’s new and if you read the previous news post, chances are that you already guessed what it is: a special "gold" Messenger Plus! icon has been added in the contact list and it’s the icon you’ll soon have to click on to access the very special 6th anniversary contest! I know some of you were expecting the contest to open on the same day of the release but you’ll have to wait a little more. The contest is in its final test phase, it’s big, very big, and because people will be required to have the new 4.21 version to participate, it has been decided that everything will start about a week from now.

More information about this exciting event in two days, on the 19th.

Clinking lots of places on a picture to uncover hidden prizes maybe?
I can't wait to play it .

Very cool and awaited update has finally reached us! I'll be waiting for the contest (like everyone else). Testing the contest hasn't  proved my luckiness yet, so my time will be coming (eventually)!


Oh, but where are the stats about language usage and so on? Surely these figures can be interesting.

Nice update, although i do miss the installer of the scripts but that was for the scripts competition we had , cool gold icon, once again good work patchy

*duck wonders what the competition will be

* MeEtc just realizes that the new version was released
* MeEtc downloads

This is fantabulocious...

So where is our new song Patchou?

I've downloaded it this morning, but I just havent posted.

Great work...though IMO there should be more features added per update in the core Plus! rather than relying on scripts.

Or first finalizing/improving existing features (eg: like the search dialogs, more statusses for the personalised status, making more seperate choices for the auto-accept, making it possible to decrypt logs from the preferences, ...)

nicey nice!!
tx for the new version

Personally I disagree, I think Patchou should put more and more work into the script area as it means that other people can create many new  optional features rater than just one person's speed at coding.  I see scripts as being a great alternative to Patchou having to code more and more features and it means that there aren't as many wasted features.  I know that Patchou is good and all with his coding but I firmly believe that he should only focus on the really big features that are impossible in scripts or features that a majority of people will use or add to the script.  Patchou is good and all but he cant imagine and code all of the features that the whole messenger community can think of.

I don't mean to sound rude or anything, I just hope you realise the importance of scripts.

BTW, thanks heaps Patchou for fixing the toasts so we can have more than one on screen at a time, it is great to have it. <3

The new version is simple but good, just waiting for the contest now. We really appreciate all you do for us, thanks

HAPPY BIRTH DAY MSGPLUS!
