Over on the StuffPlug forums, x2zen has posted more information about the new version of StuffPlug. As we already knew StuffPlug 3 is now a stand-alone program and doesn't need Messenger Plus! anymore in order to work. Also it will only run on Windows Live Messenger 8.

Just some of the new features include:

• a content stealer: like the previous custom emoticon and display picture stealer but also allowing you to steal winks and dynamic display pictures
• text commands*: talkers (as in previous versions of StuffPlug) are included and there is also a new feature that allow you to send a fake activity invitation (eg. "[contact's name] is inviting you to start [your text here]. Accept or Decline" etc) by typing "!fakeinvite" then something like "paying attention" (see how it works by fitting it into the example above)
• block talking*: lets you talk to a blocked contact, or whilst appearing offline (even though that feature is available in Windows Live Messenger anyway)
• 'mega' messages*: raises the character limit of a message to 5000 characters
• chat-only name*: choose a different name to the one that appears on the contact list to only appear in the conversation window
• ad hider: adds a little button at the bottom of your contact list to show or hide the ad
• editable friendlyname: change your friendlyname directly in the contact list like you can with your personal message

There will probably be more features still to come too, but unfortunately the window open and close notifiers have had to be removed. Currently there is no planned release date (it isn't even finished yet).
