MsgPlus! 2.00.16

dwergs — Sat, 11 Jan 2003 14:17:57 +0000

Forget whatever you read yesterday, a new day seems to bring a new Plus! version. Patchou released the new version because a bug was detected in the use of the IRC commands and Emoticons. Therefore, the latest version of MsgPlus! is now 2.00.16 and you can get it from here. Only a few mirrors are up at the moment, one is here and the other can be found here. [Source: MsgPlus! Forums]

Patchou’s post on the Plus! forums announced that the automatic update, which should occur on Plus! versions, didn’t on the latest beta version. Therefore to upgrade, you must download the BETA new version. Mess.be has put together this list of mirrors for you.

These are all the newly updated versions, and more likely to come. Thanks to Sock for the list of MsgPlus! mirrors on his website.

MSN Down

The .NET Messenger Service – Status Page is still showing minor difficulties. However the problem doesn’t seem to be too widespread, I know quite a few people who are signed in and some who are still reporting problems. Although you’d think everyone was off with the amount of reports over on the Microsoft Newsgroups. As yet, no word from Microsoft why the problems have occurred. [Update: Link fixed - Thanks Muss]

Update: All systems go! ;)

MP2 Bugs

I urge everyone to check their version of MsgPlus! 2. Quite a few bug reports flooding in for the Alpha version, which are already fixed. If you’re unsure whether or not you have the latest version, get it off mess.be from one of the links posted by Timothy below.

Plus! Beta Leaked.

Another leaked version of MsgPlus! is making it way around the usual suspect sites, this time a BETA version. No comment on whether or not it’s a final BETA version, however it all seems a little trivial now MsgPlus! is to be released today anyway.

Patchou is expected to release the new version via the Plus! Forums and his Website. Although, the massive server load on the forums at the moment might not be the best place to find it. :P

No one knows the actual time MsgPlus! will be released, however we do know Patchou is in Canada, so it might be Wednesday for a few of us. ;)

Plus! 7th Jan

An official announcement made by Patchou on the MsgPlus Plus! forums has reveiled that the long awaited MP2 will be available to download as a public BETA version on Tuesday 7th January (with the exception that there are no major bugs in final alpha release). Watch this space!
