Well seeing as no one else has posted about this anywhere, I thought I would quickly tell you. Beta testers have been told that Messenger Plus! Live 4.01 will hopefully be released tonight. The update will contain compatibility fixes with things like Mess Patch and fix issues concerning Yahoo! Messenger integration.

Another new feature I told you about was the quick icon panel. It has returned and is better than ever, you can read more about it here. Other updates include fixes to the scripting engine, making it Yahoo! Messenger compatible when detecting your contacts.

It may not seem much of an update but it is essential as major bugs have been fixed. Patchou can finally start relaxing and taking a break now before he starts coding some brand new features.

Update: Well it seems the release did not happen, probably due to some unexpected delays. Yahoo! integration has probably slowed the release down as Patchou has to fix some bugs and will not release until Messenger Plus! Live is working 100% properly. Saturday was the expected release date, but now it could be late Sunday or Monday, or even later if some last minute bugs bop up. Remember there was no official statement from Patchou himself. Meaning the expected release can vary alot, especially when Windows Live Messenger makes major changes to it's protocol.
