 Messenger 5 API Released

dwergs says ( 09 Nov 2002 ):

It's a lovely day for Messenger add-on developers, because Microsoft finally released the Messenger Application Programming Interfaces for 5.0. Unfortunately they're not compatible with Windows XP, so XP users will have to run 5.0 add-ons along with Windows Messenger. - More info here. - Download the APIs (only interesting if you're a developer, ofcourse). This means we can expect a lot of updated add-ons on Mess.be soon! [Source: Patchou] [Reported by Jae]
