Ok, so the new Plus! is released and we discovered that the RC is also the Final version.
So, first of all, in our skins, how should the new messenger version be described?

For WLM2009 14.0.8050.1202 would be:
"Major: 14
Minor: 0
Build: 8050
Revision: 1202" ?
Also, should we include the build and revision numbers?

Correct.

Just specifying Major, Minor, Build will be enough, you could leave out the build too, but that can give unexpected results when they release a new build.

Oh, and one thing, when resources are extracted, and the extraction log shows up, it shows and incorrect version of messenger:

"Windows Live Messenger version:  14.0.1202.8050"

while the correct would be

"Windows Live Messenger version:  14.0.8050.1202"

Similar stuff to this has been part of some discussions. It really depends on if you prefer Major.Minor.Build.Revision (like 14.0.8050.1202, Microsoft prefers this way) or vice-versa (like 4.79.0.353, Patchou prefers Major.Minor.Revision.Build).

For what you should use in skins, I personally use

xml code:

---

        <Compatibility>
            <MsgVersion Major="14" Minor="0" Build="8050"/>
        </Compatibility>

---

Just don't omit both Build and Revision as MS might release an incompatible update.

Thanks mynetx =)
And I've changed cthe compatibility tag yesterday ;p
