Patchou said he is not going to release a new version supporting the new BETA. He will only release a compatible version with WLM 9.0 after its official release. That is why there are many changes between BETAs. :)

:S,,,,, and when will the official release ??


RE: windows live messenger 9 beta2 by Menthix on 09-12-2008 at 02:29 PM

There is no date yest for any official release. The official beta testing hasn't even started yet. Everyone is advised to keep on using the official latest version (8.5) for now, or 9.0 beta 1 if you're the adventurous type.

See Windows Live Messenger 9.0 for more info about the same.

so what the since of not to release a version for beta2 ?? why it happened for beta 1 while hotmail stopped it !!!!!

Read Windows Live Messenger 9.0, it's discussed over there.

In short: Beta1 wasn't going to be updated for a long while and it happened to be fairly easy to update Plus! to make it work on beta1.
The new leak (beta2) is different... new builds are expected within a few weeks. If you read LiveSide you'll see they already have news about unreleased new features. So a lot will still change in a short period of time. It would be a waste of time to try and make Plus! compatible with this build when a new (completely different) build releases maybe a week later.
Also, there are a lot more internal changes in beta2 than there were in beta1, making Plus! compatible wont be a quick fix like last time.
