A new version of Messenger Plus! is already available! the reason? check out mess.be… following the leak of an internal private beta version of Windows Live Messenger 8.5, the Messenger team decided to release a public beta of their new baby. As I didn’t want to force you to choose between testing a new Messenger and trying to win one of the great prizes of the 6th anniversary contest, I spent the last 2 days working on some quick fixes for the beta.

Messenger Plus! Live 4.22 adds support for Messenger 8.5.0517 and that’s about it; some bugs were fixed too but not that many. In any case, there’s no reason not to download this latest release so except if you’re short on bandwidth for the month, you should update as soon as you can :-).

That’s it for today. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s announcement of this week’s contest winners as well as other stuff concerning the contest!
