Hey guys!
There I am back, having 4 news for you, and 2 announcements.
First, I'm glad to announce that WLMStatus 1.20.42 has been released as a minor update and features a refresh of the window looks, matching the Wave 3 design of Messenger, as well as correcting some small bugs and removing the old-style updater.
This brings me to the second point. This update shows you a message box once at updating or when installing WLMStatus from scratch. That's because the team investigated compatibility with the Windows Live Messenger 2009 RC, released on December 15. It reads: "WLMStatus does work with your current Messenger version, however you cannot access the program menu nor any of the dialog boxes. If you need support on how to use WLMStatus nevertheless, refer to support@wlmstatus.net and we will be glad to help you out." So, if anybody wants to have their image settings changed urgently, PM me or anybody else in the team and we will fix it asap.
The third point is that the new pricing for WLMStatus Premium (2009Q1; $1.99/month) applies to all bills issued from midnight onwards, as Dane already spotlighted in his posting before mine.
And finally the fourth - What can you expect from WLMStatus in 2009? While I don't want to tell too much in advance, I can say that the development team is already working on some new features for WLMStatus Premium (like custom backgrounds).
Announcement 1: The WLMStatus Team would like to announce a new cooperation with
MessengerDiscovery. This Messenger add-on is currently being reprogrammed from scratch and going toward a public beta soon. WLMStatus will be offered to all MessengerDiscovery users soon. I cannot talk about further details of this cooperation, but I am sure this enhances the feature set of MessengerDiscovery 2 .NET. I will announce more info on this at a later time.
Announcement 2: mynetx Creations announces the development start of a new Web Messenger whose codename is "Tsukai". Its real name is already chosen but I won't tell it yet... It will feature MPOP, tabbed chatting and more stuff out of the set of features you like to see, and why you are using Messenger Plus! in your normal client. More info on this as well at a later time.
So far for now,
