Here it is, the public beta version of Messenger Plus! 2.20... it is entirely compatible with Messenger 6, it has new features, new fun stuff, and now, the only thing that is missing is your approval. This beta version needs you and your friends to test it in all the environements possible (Windows, Messenger, ...). The more you test, the better it is. The final release is planned release in ten days from now.
Every feature, old andnew, must be tested under Messenger 4, 5 and 6. Also, please note that the sponsor package has not been updated yet, which means that if you the old one caused you some problems, you must not install the one distributed with this beta. The new sponsor package will be included in future betas and, of course, in the final public version of Messenger Plus!.
New features include:
MSN Messenger 6 compatibility.
Revamped preferences interface.
New formatting tags.
New Custom Name feature for renaming contact screennames. User assigned names will appear in both the Contact List and Signin popups. (Custom Name have not been designed to be perfect, only helpful.)
Name Tag feature to be used with Personalized Status to create custom status.
