There has been a build-level update at all image servers. It features the following:

• Colorized Display Picture frames on all styles, according to your current Messenger status (green = available, orange = away, red = busy, blue = offline / mobile).
  
• New buddies and new music icon, matching the style of Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta.
  
• Renamed status "Online" to "Available" in English and "Beschikbaar" in Dutch. Please report the new name of this status for other languages that the new WLM beta is available in.

You are currently testing the new Windows Live Messenger 2009 Beta (14.0.x), or are using an alternative client for accessing the network? You can still have WLMStatus running (partially). Just follow these steps:

1. Run Windows Live Messenger 2008 (8.5) with Messenger Plus! and WLMStatus installed.
   
2. Add your desired signature image code wherever you want to use it.
   
3. Opt in for the Windows Live Presence API.
   
4. Use whatever Messenger client you like to, including but not limited to the newest Windows Live Messenger Beta. Your signature image will continue to serve updated status and display name, but neither your display picture, personal status message nor current media information. Use the normal Messenger Plus!-powered version to update these.

We are always open to suggestions and awaiting your feedback on these updates!
