Hello,

I'll update this post everytime I release a new beta so keep watching! . Note that in order to be allowed to report bugs, you MUST ensure that you have the latest beta installed (your bug may already be fixed).

The previous links won't work anymore so update your pages!.

Version 2.20.50 - July 10th
The pre-release is now out! http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=12701&pid=101024. Some bugs have been fixed and, more importantly, the program has been compiled for the general public (one of the consequences is that it will be faster but it could come with some problems, that'S why you'Ve got to test it ).

Version 2.20.48a - July 9th
Some bugs have been fixed and plugins have been improved again. Next friday or saturday I'll release a special pre-release version and due to time constraints you'll have only one day to test it. I'm counting on all of you to give it a try so checkout this forum saturday morning! Thanks.

Version 2.20.46 - July 6th
Some minor bugs have been fixed. The big improvement in this version is plugin support for Visual Basic. Download the updated API documentation at http://www.msgplus.net/plugins.htm.

Version 2.20.45 - July 5th
Again, several important bugs have been fixed and some stuff has been improved. For example, you won't see spaces in your name anymore when you use colors. Also, problems with complex languages such as Chinese and Korean are gone and "pure virtual function call" crashes should be completely fixed. When you send me bugs, remember that Messenger 6 itself is in beta stage, so some stuff have to be fixed by Microsot, not me .

Version 2.20.44 - July 4th
This version fixes several bugs that have been reported including some important ones. For example, you should not have emoticon or file send problems anymore. Also, those who had problems with the whole Messenger 6 application or the Boss Protection/Instant Lock features should see their problems fly away. Any other bug that has been reported by email (and that was a real bug) is supposed to be fixed. I'm counting on you to verify it. If you think a bug is still there, let me know (by email, as specified in the other post).

Known limitations

• The Custom Name feature displays emails in some locations in Messenger. That won't be fixed, that's just a limitation.
  
• There are some interactions between Windows Messenger and MSN Messenger 6 (like Messenger 6 signs out when Messenger 4 is exited). This is known and "in progress".
  
• The name tag of the Personalised Status is displayed in some locations: that's normal. If it wasn't, then your contacts wouldn't notice your special status
  
• When Custom Names are enabled, names displayed in notification popups and chat titles do not contain emoticons. That's a limitation (just don't put emoticons in customised names )
