According to Mess.be, invited testers of Windows Live Messenger should get their next beta today.
Apart from the many reported changes compared to build 0365, the refresh is not entirely the same as build 0562. New improvements:
Contact List (see screenshot)
– Nickname in black, personal status message in soft gray.
– Once again, a new logo.
– Your Display Picture and buttons aligned to the left again (phew!)
– Word Wheel layout changed, Buddy List buttons now placed at the right hand side.
– New icons for expanding groups.
– Tab icons placed back inside the main window.
– Less spacing between contacts.Conversation Window (see screenshot)
– Ink/type tabs on the right.
I'm looking forward to this update. I've found WLM a bit unstable recently and some of the bugs are realling annoying me.
More information at the Live Messenger Blog.
Leave a comment if you want an invite.
Logged on today and got the mandatory update notice. Seems like it's been rolled out. Not tried yet.
Not a massive fan to be honest. Erm I like how its squished alot of the bugs and annoyances but the squareness? Hmm..
Do you have any invites left to WLM? If so can you send one to mccloudclk at charter.net
Thanks,
I'm a fan of the squareness personally. It's a nice change
This update updates your working MSN Messenger installation to a wreck made within the 14th version of this program. It may fix the security issue (comment fix in a certain dynamic library and some coordination issues) but it may wreck the system (not only itself) due to library updates.
