Last week it was announced a competition was coming soon attempting to promote Messenger Plus! and give away some fabulous prises. However the news of the new 4.21 build under works was hardly noticed, so I hope to shed some some light on specific details coming with the update.

First thing, again there are no new features coming to the program, it simply improves on existing ones and adds more to the scripting functionality. There is a lengthy changelog, so I'm just going to sum up the main changes:

• You can now customise your chat logs using a custom stylesheet.
• The chat logs font now matches your system's default.
• The script editor will contain a search function to find text and the window remembers the size and position you last placed it in.
• Event notifications have the option to display notifications about contacts you are currently chatting to.
• Scripts have a variety of new text controls to make editing text in Plus! windows ridiculously customisable.
• Plus 24 other nitty gritty details I decided not to mention, but they all add up to make the program so much better. There are a lot of bug fixes, mainly focusing on scripting.

It alls sound pretty good, but the focus is going to be on the competition, then hopefully Patchou will unveil some new features, as it has been since September 2005 before we last saw a new feature to Messenger Plus! with tabbed chatting (that and of course Messenger Plus! Live itself).
