Hello,

Microsoft has been releasing some exciting news the past few days about Windows Live Messenger so I thought it was my turn to announce something . Since its launch, Messenger Plus! Live has already been downloaded 2 million times and what makes this number ever more exciting is the fact that auto-update has not been enabled yet and that the old msgplus.net site still exists as is, without automatic redirection.

So what am I waiting for to go full steam? the answer is 4.01. This update will solve many of the problems some of you have encountered since the release and will bring back some popular features such as the Quick Icons panel (brand new of course). Once this is done, the old site will be closed and every user who is running Windows Live Messenger will be updated to Messenger Plus! Live. This update will also be compatible with the new Yahoo Messenger interoperability feature of Messenger .

On another subject, I have to say that I’m amazed to see how popular the scripting interface is becoming in such a short amount of time. In not even 3 weeks, almost 70 scripts have already been posted to the script’s database… this is about the same as the amount of plugins that have been submitted over a period 2 years for the old system! a ton of feature is being added to Messenger thanks to all these developers and I’ll make sure to keep on improving the interface to allow more and more possibilities. If you haven’t checked out the database yet, don’t wait another minute and do so now!

See you this weekend for the update .
Patchou

One more time: Really Thank You for your excellent program!

Now without Messenger Plus! Live, WLM is nothing for me.

Cheers from Chile.

this weekend...

Can't wait

Congrats patchy

That's great news Patchou

Looking forward to this weekend

(please don't forget the help pages for Plus!3, there will be plenty of people still needing them)

Wey hey awesome!
Can't wait for the quick icons panel again

That's great Patchou, it's been ace beta testing the software for you, and just a note to all the people looking forward to it: I'm sure there's more to come in every new version, so you should look forward to each one more and more .

Cool, cant wait for the update, im not gonna miss it this time lol (i fell asleep 10 mins before it was released)

Loving the scripts ... We actually were on 70 scripts yesterday, but then I decided to remove the worldcup and wimbledon scripts because those events ended .

* Menthix looks at new submits...
We should be able to go over 70 tomorrow when I add those .

I hope it will be out before I go to Dublin

Very good job ^^!

i've been hearing a lot is fixed in .01, can't wait

lol, i knew my avatar caption would come in handy some day

Nice Patchou! Keep the work up!!

Great news! Can't wait for the new build now. >.< BTW, will quotes be back? I am missing that too... Oh, I forgot one thing to suggest, can we have the script menus from the plus! icons as a compact menu?

Nice to here that the emoticon panel is back, it will stop a lot of threads asking about it.  Thanks for your tireless effort again.

Great news .

Well I hope to have that update on my WLM soon but in the mean time let the good times role!

Great news patch, and congratulations

Awsome news as always Patch

Woo an update. Great work patchou. The quick icons panel

Patchou = iM God..!

<3

AWESOME! But what will happen tu users who want to stick with MSN 7.5 and MSG Plus?

Great! Finally, an update!

Please REMEMBER to bring back the all-wanted Rename Contact feature, and also if possible, match the databases with the old versions of Messenger Plus! so that the old renames can be brought back.

Thanks a billion! P.S. I'm not using WLM until the feature is brought back

... WLM has it's own rename contact feature so Patchou probably won't bring it back... I'd just update anyways and try and use the WLM rename contact feature.... Really, the only way Patchou would code it is if there was A LOT... like, more than I can think of, people asking for this feature... Cause otherwise it'd be a waste of coding.

Great Patchou, some nice, nice news!

I'm home, so I'll be one of the first to download it

@ UTI > Dude, have you even went through the support section about this feature? Everyone's voting for it! There's even an official poll for it

thx Patchou

and don't forget to bring back the announcement in tab chats of the correct person, so I see which person sends me a message (if possible)

Thanks Patchou, can't wait till Sunday!

Good, you're just strong man... Publish already an update with not only bug fixes but also a new feature !! And a good feature .
Does the update will be avalaible automatically in WLM ?

See you

great going patchou, ill download MP!L when i get a new pc, (my old one literally blew up!!!!!)

At what time is it supposed to be released?

Evening, Vampire.

Thanks Patchou and official testers.

It is not only an excellent program but also the support, dedication and popularity you have gained is worthy.

Respectable program, efforts and hope you continue providing your fans with the same solutions.

Regards,

I cant wait! hehehehe

Well I hope its today, Patchou said it would be this weekend but I havn't heard any news about it.

Beta testers just got an email about an hour ago that says release will be in less than 24 hours .

Thanks MenthiX for that at least we know now how long!

Just wait, the Weekend isn't over yet^^
Don't push and push and push hard working programmers everytime, it won't speed up the projects they are doing, espeacialy when it's for free?

I'm doing some free projects 2 and I hate beeing pushed like that.

Well,
take your time, don't push yourself, cause we want something good there^^ and good things take their time.

Not all of the features will be back in Messenger Plus! Live, ever. Some of the features are no longer required because Windows Live Messenger has them, or Patchou feels that it would be a waste of space, sorry.

And it is now Monday at 11:16 AM...still waiting for that new release...

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.h...min=0&sec=0&p1=189 But time isn't known exactly... can very well be a few hours before or after.
