 I mean, now that plus has changed to Yuna Software that doesn't mean someone has bought it?
 
 Plus! was a product of a company called Yuna Software headed by Patchou, it has now been sold to new proprietors and Patchou no longer calls the shots, if I understand correctly. |

 Yuna Software is a Canadian company. Based at <address>
 
 That's Patchou's  address PO box, not the one of the new owner. And the list of those other companies is completely irrelevant.This post was edited on 01-18-2010 at 12:40 AM by Menthix.

On a more relevant note, I don't think he did, although time will tell whether the involvment of this company (whoever it's lead by and whoever is involved) leads to a bright future or a dismal outcome. |

 in due time.
 
 
 We certainly don't have all the answers. I'm not the new owner.
 
 * toddy finds it funny people are defending patchou, despite the lack of any (proper) announcement
 
 
 (people who'd done a good thing(/nothing wrong) tend to shout about it from the roofs. it's the bad things in life that we keep quiet)
 
 
Remember Patchou is not the owner of YS. He can't legally make any sort of announcement anymore. He shared all he could with the general public in his blog post. The announcement will come soon...

 Don't lie. You are not a beta tester... Patchou has given us a lot of info already, all the info he legally can give (where do you think I got my info from?). The rest of the missing info must come from Yuna itself, which is still lacking...
 
 
(Same as what I said)
 quote:Originally posted by toddy
 so you're happy for a piece of software on your machine that has an auto-update feature to change hands, with (next to) nothing being said about the change. (as for the legal part,  i'm not sure that's correct but cba researching)
 
 
It asks you before it downloads the update, and Patchou wouldn't let them ruin his hard work, remember he is still in the team. You can cancel the update and read the changelog (as there's usually one posted with every update) before you update if you'd like. Some changes might be made, like sponsors, but I'm pretty sure those will still remain optional. If not it's not like MP!L can't be uninstalled, tho I'm sure it won't come to that. |

 Im just curious because im wondering if from now on, our suggestions and what not will be as actively taken into account like they used to be when it was just Patchou

 most people are in a team at work, but at the end of the day boss is gonna do want he wants.

 how do you know what changes will be made in the new update....
 
as for the update log etc, how many people read them?  
with the current situation i.e. no real public announcement, people will just think that they should upgrade to the newer version since they haven't been informed of any major changesThis post was edited on 01-18-2010 at 01:24 AM by toddy.

 Like he said in his blog post, he's not personally related with Plus! any more. Anything related to Plus! should go to Yuna Software's email, if you're lucky enough to get a reply. |

 I think the way you phrased that is kind of misleading... he's still part of the Yuna Software team working on Plus!, but his role has changed.

 That being said, at the time of writing, I'm still actively involved in Yuna Software's daily business, and we're still preparing what should be called Messenger Plus! 5 in 2010.

 Fair enough, maybe "he's not personally associated  with Plus!" would be a better way to put it, as in: "Yuna Software" are officially the owners and not "Patchou". 
 
I'm sure I remember him saying that Plus!-related issues should be sent to Yuna Software and not to himself, which is what I meant by my first post.

 I decided it was time for me to remove myself personally from the software
