Do Microsoft know that Messenger Plus! exists? If they do (and they approve of it) I hope they'll release some documentation. If they don't know about it, they may think that there is no need to release anything...

Anyway... don't let it just sit there and rot! Windows XP users (of which there are now quite a lot) can still use it, can't they? And if they can't and nothing else works... could you give us the source code so that someone else could have a try?

Good luck on finding a solution, though... we're counting on you.

On the Messenger home page?

I don't think Patchou needs those... they're the v4.6 documents...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Jesus... damn Microsoft...

Dont jump into conclusions lets wait... I hope they will release it, may be after some time

I haven't managed to get a copy of MSN 5 yet, but surely the API is either there (and viewable as a COM interface) or not, and documentation is irrelvant?

If there is genuinely no API then couldn't an API be created by the hook interface - i.e. transforming data received by the hooks into a COM object model? Then other Addon's could be grafted on top, and Plus! could do the underlying hook API and then use it.

Update:
It appears that Msg++ 0.1 works on MSN 5.0, but not 0.9. Version 0.1 is available at http://www.nmitchell.co.uk/programs/msg++/, and the source code is available too. This uses a different API to get in and do its work, which seems not to have been killed. You can port to this API, you will loose some features, but at least you will have an addon.

ok, never mind, i just thought that the API's for the latest version would be here, as it does say the 'API's for the lastest version of msn messenger' on the page...... keep looking, they will release it soon.. could patchou release an update the the previous Plus! until he finds out about the API's for this version?

are you going to update version 0.9 to work with 5.0?

Msg++ is no more - Better MSN is the GPL, Open Source, remote CVS sourceforge project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/better-msn/). Better MSN steals all its code off Msg++, and will support MSN 5.0, with all the new features in 0.9, and hopefully none of the bugs
