Hello,
yesterday, Microsoft released a new beta version of Messenger labelled "version 2008". Despite the lack of beta tags in this version, Microsoft insists that Messenger 8.5 is still in
beta stage so no, this is not a final version. In fact, since the release, everything I've read about the new beta is criticism and I personally can't praise their new setup system. But still, a new version is a new version and Messenger Plus! got to be compatible with it.
The good news: you won't have to upgrade your Plus!,
version 4.23 is still entirely compatible with the new Messenger. I'm continuing to work on the next big update which should be released sometime in October. Maybe then I'll follow the trend and release a brand new install suite for 32bit systems only
.
