Hello everyone,

I just take this little moment to let you know that Messenger Plus! 2.10 will be released next sunday, during the night. It contains a lot of fixes (don't expect a lot of new features), a lot of internal improvements (Windows Messenger 5 and Windows 2003 compatibility, ...) and multi-language support. 27 languages will be distributed with this version, more will be available some weeks after (a new section will be created on this forum to encourage about translation).

Also, the new msgplus.net site will be released the same day. A lot of information will be available on it, I hope you'll all check it out. Also, in addition of donation and merchandise, I've added a third supprot option, almost free for everyone: you can send me a postcard . I look forward to collect postcards from all over the world, it will be a great way from you to support Messenger Plus!.

Well, there is still much work to do.
Enjoy life!
Patchou

What can I say?
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!





Edit: how exactly does sending you a postcard help? Just for some sort of morale boost?

I cant wait!!!

also...not to be critical, but you spelt support wrong...you spelt it supprot in the second paragraph

Yay! Finally!

Postcard!

Let's see now, what should it be?..... Haifa Bay? Sea of Galilee? Dead Sea? Eilat Bay? Jerusalem? Tel Aviv? Decisions, decisions........

Awsome yo! Keep The Good Work Up 8)

Can't wait, but not for the sme reaons as you guys lol

Lol.

Yeah man, great! This should will kick ass!

BTW Patchou: Your bandwitdh is gonna be blasted to hell!

Vive le Patchou !!!  Tu es super !!!  Merci de nous tous

Fraisie can't wait sorting tones of recieved postcards

Kool.

I will release an Update to SoundNames shortly after 2.10 is released.

Yes, postcards will be for encouragement... its as good as donate money and it's more accessible for a lot of people. I bought a postal code today just for it .

And, about the bandwidth.. I'm already planning to buy a second server to support the new web site... there are currently about 130,000 people visiting the site daily so you can imagine how 1Kb can impact on my bandwidth

nice, i can't wait

No one can!

Hurrrry up I aint gettin any younger waitin on 2.10 n new sounds
u know patchou.

Patchou Patchou he's our man he can do what noone can!

Great Job, Patchou!

blah... next sunday means what? Dumb question maybe, but I know some other countries call the sunday coming up "next sunday" where as I could call is "this sunday".

So is it Sunday 27th April or Sunday 4th May?

Uhmm...

judging by the verrrry soon title, probably this sunday.  patch said 2 weeks about 2 weeks ago now, so it would make sense

yay! thanks patchou!

I don't have any problems with the date because we have holiday here in Holland , but on sunday i will be flying to Athens, Greece

The date Plus! comes out should be a holiday in every country

Hi
  I think it is great that you are adding more to messenger plus

Jsut to be clear, what I called "next sunday" was a french "next sunday" meaning this sunday, April 27th, in two days . Also, as I'll do it during the night, for most of you it will be available only monday monring.

And "final" means "release", not "final forever"... I'll continue to update Messenger Plus! but I'll take a little break if you allow me . And anyway, I'll still have a lot of management work to do after the release to add new translations and correct the existing ones.

Yay is all I can add to tons of supportive replies. Patchou, you already know what this release will do to me as it will force me to work hard on Tweak to get in done in time . Anyway, I hope you stick to your promise, if I "ever" get to Canada, you and I are gonna get drunk .

J/k great work and take some time off for Fraisie.

One thing a lot of people have forgotten... congratulations and a big 'thanks' to the translators!

Not that I need it translated, I'm English... but hey... the translators should get due credit

postcard .. from amsterdam with some red light girls and some weed

can't waittt

Well, if you think about it, except if you were a translator, you know almost nothing from this new release (except that it has almost no new feature lol, despite the 4 pages of updates )

[white]shark: I'm looking for ward to see Tweak Plus!.. you'll remember to take a look at the reg settings again when the new site will be online, some stuff have been changed/added. Also, I told you we would get a drink, not get drunk lol. I don't enjoy alchool very much (however, a beer doesn't kill from time to time.. it's just that Messenger Plus! is sponsored by Pepsi and Pizza Hut ).

Now i know when my site will be released

Pepsi and Pizza-Hut! Do u get free food and free drinks?!?

haha, in my dreams perhaps.

It would be really helpful if mirrors we're put in this thread:

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=9228

It will be opened later tonight/today.

It keeps them all together and people looking for one can find on easily.

very good idea, Johnny!!

Maybe it will be also very nice to have a "backup" thread like this in MsgPlus General Talk, cuz'  i'm afraid the server load message will be annoyin'

Well, anyways i hope that nobody would need an mirror to download Messenger Plus!

crazihouse: south shore

well, apparently a lot of people are waiting for this evening release... hum... I guess I'd better turnoff the tv and start to package everything together

WHEN IS IT GONNA BE OUT? iN 1 MINUTE? 2 HOURS? WHEN!!!!

About 5 hours from now.....

i'll be sleeping by then, because of school

O god, only 1 hour to go. I'm so totally .....

Argh

1 hour?

3 hours according to the time jmac gave for here.
