There is no real changelog because nothing has changed in Plus! itself. Only the setup has changed to accomodate the new toolbar.
Though, I still would like to see a changelog regardless if there were only minor changes or if it was only the toolbar being added.

Actually, it's not the same file as the .376 build we saw before. MD5 has changed since, digital signature is also stamped January 15.
To make things more confusing:- Download from http://www.msgpluslive.net/download/ and you will get the toolbar (Conduit) as sponsor option, and the file is signed by Yuna Software.
- Do a manual update check (/checkupdates) or wait for auto-update to do its thing and you get PlusNetwork.com (Ask!) as sponsor option, and the file is signed by Patchou.
In both cases the installer is stamped .376 and signed January 15.
It's not that confusing though as there has always been a difference between the auto-update one and the one from the website when a new release is published.
So it is probably done on purpose to 'test' out this new version with toolbar before everybody gets auto-updated. So, most likely the auto-update and manual-update files will be updated soonish. Patchou has always taken this approach in the past too, to spread the load on the server.
Anyways, for all those new 376 'versions' goes:
All About boxes says: version 4.83.376 - released on 24/12/09
However, the setups themself were compiled and signed on 15/01/10.
(trivia: the auto-update and manual-update 'versions' have actually been compiled after the ones from the website, and were put online later)
All the other internal files are identical to the previous 376 build we saw before (which was a silent update).
Aka, only the setup itself has changed, Plus! itself is still identical to previous build (except for the translation files to accomodate the new toolbar setup).

If people have other versions (eg: the 373 build) or some other subversion of the same build number as listed above, you can always contact me 
Note: version numbers have never been a good indentification since they are not always updated. You must check several parameters to see if you actual have the same version or not (eg: MD5 hash).
