I haven't tried reinstalling Plus! yet, just assumed if it worked it'd've migrated across. I love the new design. If anyone wants screenshots of a certain feature i'll be happy to show them.

WLM is compatible with the latest WLM 9.0 BETA, which you should NOT be using RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by Music Head on 08-24-2008 at 08:13 AM How am i holding up development it was sent out to me though the Microsoft Connect site?!?

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by Spunky on 08-24-2008 at 10:41 AM
quote: 9.0 is not final. Meaning that all the bugs and errors that are coming up should be reported if you are a BETA tester. All those reports would tend to slow them down a bit. Now, that in itself is not a bad thing (ie having a more stable program), but then you also get the useless reports and suggestions ("I think you should add this because x program has it and this add-on can do this and I like this, but get rid of that"). The fact is that it was a closed BETA and only so many copies were made available for a reason. I don't care if we can see any negative effects or not from where we are. It's people like you using the BETA that request all these updates to make stuff compatible with the version you are using, putting more work on people like us the develop software/scripts/skins and offer help with non-public software.

The latest version of Messenger Plus! Live DOES NOT work with the latest Windows Live Messenger 9.0 BETA (build: 14.03.3921.717) RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by RebelSean on 08-24-2008 at 01:14 PM
First of all, noone should be using the leaked build. It's not useful and of course, like any beta, has many problems and bugs. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by ShawnZ on 08-24-2008 at 01:48 PM note to everyone: use whatever the hell build you want, but bugs are your own problem -- not ours, not microsoft's.

If they were official beta testers then they'd understand add-ons can not be expected to work with it. They'd also understand that those add-on authors might not even have access to that version, let alone be able to provide a working version with it instantly....

Please Reply quote: may is ask where you read this crap . I got my beta true some 1 from microsoft, not even true beta site of Microsoft it self, so that means personal of MS will hold up the development of this version. Ya right. Let me think, when was that. O, yah 2-3 years ago, Microsoft launch his biggest beta test program in history with Vista. Did that hold up development, Nope it just help MS with that. The same with Windows Se7en (Yes i have the first beta of it). MS even open up a site where the public can see what MS is doing with Windos Se7en. So please stop the Bull about holding up development of WLM, in the past years more beta's leak and never did that stop or hold up the product. So people test it like a motherF, and MS likes that. Peace RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by Eddie on 08-25-2008 at 12:51 PM
Patchou never made quick updates for past betas at all, the betas that he made an update for were those that were easier and public betas such as the 8.5 Beta and the widely released 9.0 Beta that was released / leaked. As far as i know those were the only releases that supported a beta, and that was simply because of the mass amount of people using the betas and the known length of time the beta was going to be available without change. As multiple people have stated, in Betas many things change, so there is no point making an effort to make something compatible when it could break again soon. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by Basilis on 08-25-2008 at 01:03 PM
quote:Does that mean Patchou may need more testers to test Plus! so he is sure everything is fine? quote: He wasn't rude to you. He just explained you the situation. He is not responsible for Patchou not updating Plus! for a BETA, which is absolutely logical. Users are supposed to use the official WLM version so Patchou has no reason to update his software. BETAs are usually buggy and there are changes from one BETA to another. It is not as easy as it sounds to update Plus! for the new BETA.

quote: I wasn't trying to sound like that, and I do appologize if I did. I simply was stating that he won't release an update until the product comes out of beta. During the entire beta process, products can change darastically. So there isn't a point to update Plus! Live, especially in the early stages. As already explained, the UI has been completely re-designed, and it's not (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) going to be easy for Patchou to just issue an update. As Cookie already explained, one shouldn't be using a beta build that isn't intended for them. When you use a beta, you're going to encounter many bugs and glitchs, which are going to simply piss a normal user off and in turn they're going to bitch. So it's our, the beta team, job to find the bugs etc and report them to the development team to get them fixed. Also, I'm not aware of Patchou releasing any update to Plus! to support a beta build. He, however, might have done it prior to me joining the community (Years ago). quote: Actually, in the last three beta phases, the leaks postponed the release.

quote:it is indeed not a fact. There were many betas for each major version you listed to begin with. And not all those betas were supported by Plus!. Only the public betas. And some of the private betas (which were certainly not alpha versions but versions which were know to be become public soon!!) were supported by beta versions of Plus! because they needed to be tested out with the new Plus! so it could be ready for the public. In some cases Plus! even reconized beta versions and refused to work with them. -- The fact remains that Patchou will never make Plus! intentionally compatible with private WLM alpha/beta versions which are still going to change a lot in a short time.

Well, the first BETA of WLM9.0 was supported, wasn't it? quote: Jesus, a BETA does not necessary mean lots of bugs and crashes.. Sounds like using the new WLM9.0 BETA is committing suicide, like you WILL experience HUGE issues, which WILL piss you off! Can't really say that's the truth, the WLM8.0 BETA was a pain in the ass but I haven't really noticed any issues WHATSOEVER with this new 9.0BETA. It's actually feeling better, more responsive and "smooth" than the 8.5 Final version, the webcam windows seems slightly increased (I have yet to understand why the heck we can't make them as big we want??) and the "be signed in at multiply places at once" is actually working (couldn't get that to work with the first WLM9.0BETA, but then again that BETA wasn't really much a BETA, just a WLM8.5 with supported animated avatars and quite a few bugs) I don't see the harm in asking Patchou for a update? What's wrong with that? We did get one for the first WLM9.0BETA (which we really could call a WLM9.0 Alpha in my opinion) So why can't we hope for another one this time? It was all the same with the first WLM9.0 BETA, Patchou don't do BETA's and blab, blab, blab.. And then suddenly it was supported! quote: Care to explain how the first "BETA" of Live Messenger 9.0 got supported? It was a leaked BETA, it was in my opinion not worth the "BETA tag" but rather a "alpha tag". If Patchou NEVER do support leaked versions, why is BETA1 of WLM9.0 supported then? I can't really understand that? I agree that it's stupid to expect Messenger Live! Plus to be compatible with BETA's, at least leaked ones! But that doesn't mean it's stupid to ask nicely if Patchou might got plans for making a version that works with it, is it? And basted on the past where the first leaked BETA of WLM9.0 suddenly got supported, why can't we hope for the same to happen again? RE: RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by Vilkku on 08-26-2008 at 06:47 PM
quote:Because of the lack of changes compared to the released WLM and that beta, Plus! simply happened to work - no extra work was put it to make it support it. I did a quick search, and there was no mention of any WLM9 beta support in any post made by Patchou, except a note not to use it. You even said it yourself: quote: RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by Menthix on 08-26-2008 at 06:47 PM
This is getting ridiculous . Thereīs no point in having pages long discussions without even a single post from Patchou. RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by vaccination on 08-26-2008 at 07:00 PM
RamGuy, you need to realise that there is a huge difference in Plus being able to integrate itself with a new version on it's own, and Patchou making an update.

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by Patchou on 08-27-2008 at 04:27 AM For now, no update is planned for the alpha/buggy/bad-looking version of WLM9 that was leaked a couple of days ago.

And you claim here to have received an invitation fom MS to become a WLM9 tester, then why do you ask for download links for the new beta on that forum you've linked to? And why do you even say in this thread you have a 'secret' link?

RE: Windows Live Messenger 9.0 by lykos1865 on 09-03-2008 at 01:50 AM That's what I meant.
