Yes, that's exactly the purpose of this new build... to make it possible (compatible) that both versions run side-by-side and don't conflict with each other.

When you run WLM, Plus!Live will kick in...
When you run MSN Messenger, Plus!3 will kick in...

(and unofficially: you even can run them at the same time... I have found no major conflicting things as of yet... and I even tested this quickly while running 6.2, 7.0, 7.5 and WLM all together...)

Sorry, but I have been using Messenger 8.0 beta for so long without Messenger Plus! that I doubt very seriously if I will install it whenever you get around to posting a new version.  You could have very easily released an interim verison when Messenger 8.0 went public beta a few weeks ago instead of this worthless thing.  Funny how you think you need something until you dont have it and realize it's just wasted space on your hard drive.  You should take better care of the people who have supported you all these years.

Hello,

Probably nobody expected this but I've just released Messenger Plus! 3.63. This version fixes some last compatibility issues with the soon-to-come Messenger Plus! Live 4.00 (it still is not compatible with Windows Live Messenger). Those fixes couldn't be included in the previous 3.62 release as Messenger Plus! Live was still not mature enough at that time to do proper testing. You won't see any difference between this version and the previous one, however, if you plan on using Windows Live Messenger when it's publicly released (probably a month or less from now), then I highly recommend you to update to this version to prevent any kind of problem from happening.

There's one other important thing included in this update. I wanted to keep that for Messenger Plus! Live but there's no reason why everybody could not enjoy this update sooner. The sponsor program is now distributed by Circle Development Ltd. They have reworked the package based on user's feedback and I'm happy to announce that you can now say goodbye to the home page change and the search bar in Internet Explorer :). In case you would wonder, nothing has been added either and the sponsor is still as optional as ever. We just thought that the users who install the ads may appreciate a lighter package. Also, to make sure that everybody remembers where the ads come from a month or two after the initial installation, the entry in Add/Remove Programs now says "Messenger Plus! & Sponsor" if the sponsor is currently installed.

This great new version of the sponsor program will also be part of Messenger Plus! Live and will be presented the exact same way during installation. The development of the new Messenger Plus! is still going pretty well. Version 4.00 is now scheduled to be released in a month from now, you can expect this update to be the last one compatible with MSN/Windows Messenger 4, 5, 6 and 7. Goodbye Messenger Plus! 3 :).

He can't release a version that simply isn't ready for public use just so people don't lose interest...

Anyway, better go install this :)
Keep up the good work Patchou!

Then don't install it, your loss :P

Anywaay, I think it's very good that the sponsor is from a company other then C2Media, not that i've ever had problems with it, but for the paranoid people who think patch is evil :P

No he could not! At the time the WLM beta went "public", Messenger Plus! Live was far, far from finished. Unless you wanted it to show an about box and nothing more.

funny, as that is exactly what he does at this moment (and also what he is doing by NOT releasing a half arsed version which everybody will have problems with).

If the sponsor is now by Circle Devolpment, are the websites still being hosted on Lop/C2 Media servers?

O.P. RE: Messenger Plus! 3.63
The company is evolving and yes, msgplus.net will soon be on new servers (as soon as I find the time to complete the setup of the servers).

I agree, i would rather wait for a good working msgplus live then a half done crappy msgplus live. and you say you doubt you will install it when it comes out, well thats good for you, we all know what you will be missing out on:P

RE: Messenger Plus! 3.63
in my oppinon its better 2 wait for a good working version than a half-assed version that is so buggy it would scare off the ordenary user.

For anyone that comments that there was infact a public beta version of the last msgplus.  That wasnt released lightly, Patchou made sure it it wasnt as buggy and there was a notice that it was beta. The new PlusLive! is coded from scratch so theres not the same criteria met as the last one. why dont people learn a bit of paitance and wait.
