On Messenger Plus! 5.00.702, the /checkupdates command does not trigger the auto-update to Plus! 5.01.706. Instead, this dialog box appears:

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (6.1.7600)
Windows Live Messenger 15.4.1109
Messenger Plus! 5.00.0.702

I can confirm this bug

I also tried in VM (Windows XP Service Pack 3 (5.1.2600), Windows Live Messenger 14.0.0416) and upgraded Plus! from 4.90.0.392  to 5.00.0.691 and nicely detected latest version (5.01.0.706) though It doesn't detect 5.01.0.706 from 5.00.0.702

Exactly, this was what I meant. Aren’t the final bugfixes reason enough?

I'll notify the devs, thanks

As far as I can tell the 5706 simply hasn't been pushed to the auto-update system (yet). Not sure how you could get your 5691 to detect 5706?

Edit: okay never mind, the update system actually advertises 5702 but the setup file is 5706, hahahaha '-_-

Also note that the /checkupdates command isn't exactly the same as a scheduled auto-update, Plus! 5 hasn't been published (at all) through auto-update yet. Just FYI

http://download.msgpluslive.net/update/manualupdate.php

Both auto-update and manual update (/checkupdates) claim 5.00.0.702 is the latest version, but the file which gets downloaded is actually 5.01.0.706. This explains why you would get 5706 when you do /checkupdates on any version older than 5702.

BTW, shouldn't the first number on http://download.msgpluslive.net/update/autoupdate.php be 5702 (or 5706, but at least the same as manualupdate.php)?

EDIT: I'm slow

It will, when we decide to go for mass-auto-update

manualupdate.php should say 5706 though, and also should return a properly named link to a 706 build

Do I hear screw-ups again?
(Sorry for the harsh language, but, yeah, ....)


The file autoupdate.php has been updated today apparently.

However, there are some strange inconsistancies in it:

1) 5702? Shouldn't that be 5706?

2) http://mirror10.msgpluslive.net/20101012/PrevUpda...sgPlusLive-490.exe ? Errr... 4.90???
And it isn't even the latest 4.90 version for that matter (eg: signed by Patchou).

3) 20100801? Shouldn't that be 20110308?

4) http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/?updprompt=1
results in a 404 Page not found error, aka:
http://www.msgplus.net/Home?aspxerrorpath=/download/

Looks more like a downgrade to me than an upgrade.... :/


Note: manualupdate.php is indeed not yet up-to-date either (referring to 5.0.702 file version and link)

Update: autoupdate.php was briefly restored to previous state yesterday (in essence autoupdate was disabled again), but it is now back to the erroneous version shown above.

bump...

autoupdate.php and manualupdate.php is still beeped up and people start to complain why they don't get the update notifications....

The returned data of autoupdate.php switches randomly between:
    <b>5702</b>
    <v>5.01.0.706</v> 
and
    <b>4392</b>
    <v>5.00.0.702</v>

Not to mention that if the mp parameter points to a lower version than 4.90, more screwups are present in the returned data.

Also the 'upgrade now' link on the page
http://pages.msgpluslive.net/msgplus_download_4_page/?ref=MsgPlusAlert
(= link you get in that returned data from autoupdate.php) points to a wrong URL.

Also the returned data from manualupdate.php is still wrong!

So, Yuna, how hard can it be to fix those issues for crying out loud?
