Since Patchou has returned from his trip to Disney World, official testers of Messenger Plus! Live have received two new builds. These new builds are very exciting as they have been complied in release mode for the upcoming public beta, just to make sure there is nothing majorly wrong. Along with a heap of bug fixes the new builds have brought back an old feature, contact information.

Just like in older builds the contact information window displays:

• The last time a contact was online
• The last time you had a chat with them
• Their email address and display name
• If they have Messenger Plus! installed
• Displays recent events of the contact

Now as a bonus, it displays your contact's display picture as well and has an added twist that gives you the chance to save it to file, working as a display picture stealer. So now we have a display picture stealer that works with Windows Live Messenger, integrated in a great add-on. However, you can only steal their current picture and not previous ones.

These new updates look as if Messenger Plus! Live is coming close to release. Patchou, the creator of the program originally thought Windows Live Messenger would be released in April, but now it is June and there is still no sign of a release date, this means more and more features are being added to Messenger Plus! Live. It is about 17 odd days away to the public beta of this program, so keep your eyes pealed for it.
