It would honestly be a hard transition for Plus! Live in its early stage to go to be a public beta. We the testers have an extensive library of bugs we consistantly have to go through to make sure nothing is broken because of a fix. People wouldn't have access to this information so for now it will remain a closed beta. Thats not to say that Messenger Plus! Live 4.10 wont be a public beta (you know know.)

K I'm really confused, everyone is going on about how well the BETA is coming along, but they still don't want it public? It's obviously all up to Patchou, but if you don't mind me asking, what are these forums for if we can't ask for help, or let other people know about problems with the program? If the program is coming along well, it should be released, and then people can post any problems that they're having here on the forums where the official testers can help them! That's just my opinion... Hope someone can take it into consideration.

"coming along well" doesn't mean a thing. It can be interpreted in many ways.

As Matty has said, there are still far too many things which go wrong. However, this doesn't mean that it comes along well considering the amount of bugs already been fixed. But that doesn't say again anything about what still needs to be fixed... or even still need to be added.

And the forums are here to help people with the official public release. And currently that is still Plus!3.

RE: Will there be a Plus! Live! Open Beta
Sorry I was too vague in my last post... I'm 90% sure I won't make a public beta version (As you may already know, I don't like that idea). What I'll probably end up doing is release 4.00 and keep on working on 4.10 before I take a little pause.

Of course, maybe that won't be necessary and I'll be able to deliver a good version 4.00 right from the beginning. Despite the amount of testing that's been done already, Messenger Plus! Live being a new software, I know I'll have a lot of bug reports from users at the beginning, caused by many factors that the current testers can't really reproduce.

What I won't do is release a version that still has important known problems so again, everything's left to be decided.
