O.P. Shocked  Scripting Contest + Messenger Plus! Live 4.11
Hey everybody,

the scripting contest announced earlier this month has finally arrived and along with it, the release of Messenger Plus! Live 4.11! this update is for bug fixes only and solves things such as compatibility with add-ons like SimpLite-MSN and softwares such as Windows Live Mail. Some more fixes were made to the scripting API and everything is now ready for the contest!

So, what’s this new contest all about? it’s a contest organised to celebrate the first million of scripts downloaded from the official database on this site. It is opened to script developers only but if you’re a simple user, you’ll soon be able to enjoy a lot of great scripts published as a result of the contest participations. If you’re a developer, now is your chance to either create your very first Messenger add-on with the scripting API or to perfect the one you’ve been working on these past few months! Here is how things will work: the contest is opened to anybody in the world from November 28th to December 19th 2006 (3 weeks). To participate, the only thing you need to do is submit a script that works properly with Messenger Plus! Live 4.11. The script must be free of any obvious problem and if your script is already in the database, an update must be submitted to be eligible for the contest.

One important thing to know is that every participant who submit a working script will be a winner! If your script is accepted for the contest, you will automatically win a Messenger Plus! Live - Script Developer shirt (designed expressly for this contest, see news post for picture), in your size, shipped to your home. In addition to that, 3 scripts will be selected in 3 different categories: full featured scripts (big scripts), simple yet useful scripts (small scripts) and most original scripts. The winners will be announced at the end of the contest and will receive the following prizes, in each category: $500 for 1st, $300 for 2nd and $200 for 3rd. Following the end of the contest, a special version of the Messenger Plus! setup package will be created with the 9 winning scripts embedded with the default installation. If your script is selected, millions of people will get to appreciate your work all around the world! :).

Good luck to all of you and enjoy the update, it will probably be the last one of 2006.

Nice :)

I don't know if the issues with the download server were already fixed? But should it be needed:
