Hello,

it’s now official, the next public version of Messenger Plus! will be labelled Messenger Plus! Live 4.50. This new version will be a major refresh of the software, the most important update since the release of 4.00 more than a year ago. Messenger Plus! has a new look, new windows, new features and even the web site will get an overhaul. Most of the code work is now complete, GFDD is working hard on the new visuals and the first beta version will soon be sent to the internal beta-test team (sorry, the team is currently closed to new admissions).

As announced previously, the new version is scheduled be released at the end of this month but a release in early November is not out of the question. That’s the price to pay to get quality software that will improve your Messenger experience, not degrade it. Also, on a more personal note, I just realised that by the time the public build gets uploaded to the servers, 5 months will have passed since the last release. Is it me or does time go faster and faster, year after year? I easily spend 6 days a week doing my job and still, it always seems like I don’t have time to do everything I want. After more than 6 years, I really must be a slow software programmer, either that or I should consider hire someone to help… anybody reading this good at C++?

New features and screenshots will be revealed later this month. Messenger Plus! is still Messenger Plus! though, don’t set your expectations too high, it’s still the same software, just with an additional 5 month of work done to it and one new feature in particular that promises to be as popular as scripts currently are. In the meantime, thank you all for your continuous support and for allowing me to live my passion for another year.
