O.P. Cool  BetterMSN Beta Testers Required (Shut)
BetterMSN is now a few days from release, I hope to release on Easter Sunday, so get in there quick if you want to test.

New features
BetterName 2.0 (background gradients and fixes for systems where Gradient, NickEXP and BetterName 1.0 did not run)
Squashed every known bug
Integration with DBG 2.0 (previously only 1.0)
ChatView 2.0 - view Plus 1.x and 2.0 chat logs (thanks to Patchou for some information on 1.x logs formatting)
MSN 5 support (thanks to Will)
Real MSN popup alerts (again, Will)
Notifications when your contacts open conversation windows with you
Speech alerts
Uninstaller (a worryingly popular feature request)
Slightly redesigned website (will be launched with the full copy of the new program)

Conditions for beta testers
Must test it pretty much full time, i.e. keep it running in the background most of the time your computer is on - even if you're not actually using it
Report all crashes
Do not distribute (please - I'm sure people can wait a few days)
Either upgrade to the final version or uninstall it after the end of the test

So, any offers? If so then reply to this thread or send me an email, requests via PM will be ignored!

RE: BetterMSN Beta Testers Required (Open)
For everyone who don't know BetterMSN, it's a software made by Ginge, the same guy who's name is in the "Contributors" section of Messenger Plus! about box. It means that it would be nice to help him as he already helped you indirectly by helping to do Plus!.

And, by the way, you're too humble with yourself, I almost gave you no information about my logs as you barely asked any question :).

O.P. RE: BetterMSN Beta Testers Required (Shut)
OK, thanks very much for the offers, I have now shut beta testing, and will distribute the beta copies out in about an hours time.

With any luck I'll release it Sunday/Monday, but that depends on what the beta testers say.

[edit]Beta testers have now been PM'd with details[/edit]

You can disclose as much info as you want, to whoever you want, the only thing I don't want is lots of buggy copies floating around, hence no distributing the download url, and you must upgrade/uninstall when the new version hits.
