Messenger Plus! Live 4.01 tonight!

Well seeing as no one else has posted about this anywhere, I thought I would quickly tell you: beta testers have been told that Messenger Plus! Live 4.01 will be released tonight. The update will contain compatibility fixes with things like Mess Patch and fix issues concerning Yahoo! Messenger integration.

Another new feature I told you about was the quick icon panel. It has returned and is better than ever, you can read more about it here. Other updates include fixes to the scripting engine, making it Yahoo! Messenger compatible when detecting your contacts.

It may seem not much of an update but it is essential now as major bugs have been fixed. Patchou can finally start relaxing and taking a break now before he starts coding some brand new features.

It's true. Well, I believe it's true.

And Patchou has a diffrent timexone, so it will be late, very late. Well, it was when MP!L first were released.

Absorbation is a betatester, so its true.

Yeah here is 22:00 right now (GMT+1, because of Day Light Saving). He released 4.00 and 23:40GMT so I hope tonight is GMT He is in Canada so there should be GMT -5 or -6 (-7?? )

relax everyone, its not going to be the end of the world if he doesn't release it

Patchou said it will be released this weekend, and thats all he said so keep that in mind

May I very strongly point out that this has been said to beta testers in private only!!!

As a matter of fact he didn't say "tonight" at all, he said "this weekend"...

And this is NOT a public statement at all (yet). As such, beta testers should ALWAYS be carefull to put such stuff in the public, especially concearning release dates.

It is NOT FOR SURE that a new version will be released tonight. It is planned yes, but extremely many things can delay it. As a matter of fact, Patchou said last week that it was going to be released "this weekend" too, and that did NOT happen.

There is a very good reason why Patchou only says this in private and not yet in public, I only whished some beta testers understood that BEFORE they leak such information and create (unwillingly) a hype (as people WILL read such things as totally true without understanding the context of it and thus will be fixated upon such statements).

Well said cookie.  I must say that because of this thread I have been looking a lot more but I also understand that good things take time, so if I have to wait for Plus! then so be it.  Making big hype to the public is not a wise idea (just remember what happened to the forums and the MP!L sit when 4.00 was released.......).

Cookie was more referring to absorbation (and all beta testers) i think

Well I did check to see if I was allowed to post it, I saw Menthix posting about the release around the forums, so I presumed I was allowed to do the same. The emails testers received from Patchou indicated a Saturday release (I can't show what he said exactly), and so I posted about that. I will edit the post saying unexpected delays are expected, but all in all 4.01 is coming soon .

And there are a few Yahoo! integration bugs, so you never know how delayed it can be. I am sorry for any confusion, but I did think it was going to be released Saturday, according to the emails, and testers received another indication this morning of a release.

* absorbation updates his post

Edit: My post seems different to the one I originally posted .

absorbation keep the good work at Messenger Stuff. I know that you posted saying it was going to be released yesterday but I know that this kind of stuff is not 100% SURE

Reading over my post made mye realize with little information people can take in hypes rather quickly . Like Cookie said, no official statement means it may not be true. Although Patchou expected the release to be Saturday evening, major changes to the messenger protocol can mean delays. I have now updated my post to hopefully avoid confusion. However, I do not think I was breaking any testing rules when posting the information, I did check out before hand with other testers to see if it was ok and after seeing Menthix posting small posts on the forums, I thought it was ok to do so myself .

Edit: Patchou's emails varied when it came to expected release dates, the Saturday one was the most recent and so I posted about that.

Yeah I don't think that you act wrong. We know that is this type of stuff delays are aceptable

I just feel a tad embrassed, if was not a great quality post, I should of explained about delays in detail. I posted that early morning yesterday, just as I woke up .

nope, you absolutely didn't break any rules. My post was more meant in general, just be carefull when stating such things and don't make vague posts from Patchou into accurate pinpointed statements and stuff (I don't say you did this though, just in general)...

gives me a little hope

yeah... lets hope patchou is a good guy and thinks of us (non-canadian users)

i would much prefer it to be released per his own discretion, as then we will be assured of getting a stable product.

to many people rush development these days and it ends up biting the end user in the nuts...
