Live 4.21.270 has been released on May 16th 2007.<\/p>\n<p>Download it from here:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/download.msgpluslive.net\/setup\/MsgPlusLive-421.exe\">Download Messenger Plus! Live 4.21.270<\/a><br \/>\n<!--adsense--><\/p>\n<p>Changes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Added support for the new &quot;I&#8217;m&quot; emoticons of Messenger 8.1 in various<br \/>\n\tMessenger Plus! windows.<\/li>\n<li>Some improvements for script developers:\n<ul>\n<li>The script editor window remembers its size and position.<\/li>\n<li>A &quot;find text&quot; window has been added to the script editor, accessible<br \/>\n\t\tfrom the Options menu or with Ctrl+F.<\/li>\n<li>On error, the script debugging window now displays the file name<br \/>\n\t\tassociated with the line number where the error occurred.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>This version includes access to the 6th anniversary contest that will<br \/>\n\tstart in about a week from now. This will be removed in<br \/>\n\tthe next version when the contest is over. For more information, check out<br \/>\n\tthe announcement on msgpluslive.net.<\/li>\n<li>A new selection criteria has been added for event notifications. You can<br \/>\n\tnow choose to create notifications that automatically apply to contacts with<br \/>\n\topened conversation windows. Useful for example to get notified when someone<br \/>\n\tsigns-out unexpectedly if you don&#39;t notice it in the chat window.<\/li>\n<li>No extra header is added to chat logs anymore when closing a chat window<br \/>\n\tand reopening it soon after. The default timeout for new session headers is<br \/>\n\t10 minutes and can be modified with the new ChatLogSessionWait registry<br \/>\n\tsetting.<\/li>\n<li>To help people who customize the looks of their Messenger Plus! chat<br \/>\n\tlogs, if a &quot;custom.css&quot; file is found in the Messenger Plus!&#8217;s installation<br \/>\n\tdirectory, it is automatically copied in the directory of newly created<br \/>\n\tXHTML chat log files (only if no custom.css file already exits in the<br \/>\n\tdestination directory).<\/li>\n<li>Blocked contacts are now displayed with the grey offline buddy icon when<br \/>\n\tneeded in tabbed chats and desktop contact windows.<\/li>\n<li>An option has been added to display the e-mail of the current user in<br \/>\n\tthe tooltip of the systray icon (mostly useful when using several accounts<br \/>\n\ttogether, enabled by default).<\/li>\n<li>The contact name displayed in custom event notifications can now be<br \/>\n\tmodified by formatting the message like this: \\Name\\Message.<\/li>\n<li>A Turkish translation has been added to the setup.<\/li>\n<li>Added a new fail-safe mechanism to add the &quot;Plus! Not Loaded&quot; menu in<br \/>\n\tmore failure circumstances, to inform the user of the problem.<\/li>\n<li>The setup uses a better compression method and is now even smaller than<br \/>\n\tit was for version 4.00.<\/li>\n<li>Scripts from the previous script developer contest are not included<br \/>\n\tanymore (they can all be downloaded from the site).<\/li>\n<li>The default font for HTML chat logs has been changed from Microsoft Sans<br \/>\n\tSerif to MS Shell Dlg (which actually maps to your system&#39;s default UI font).<br \/>\n\tThis was changed in Messenger some time ago and the change in Messenger<br \/>\n\tPlus! will reduce the size of HTML log files generated with the default font<br \/>\n\t(the logs will look the same as before).<\/li>\n<li>If several event notifications apply to the same user and have exactly<br \/>\n\tthe same parameters (message &amp; sound), the notifications are not duplicated.<\/li>\n<li>When a script is installed, enabled or disabled, the change is reflected<br \/>\n\tin every Messenger currently running. When that happens, all<br \/>\n\tthe scripts in the other instances are restarted. To avoid causing problems<br \/>\n\tto script developers, creating a new script or editing an existing one will<br \/>\n\tnot trigger an automatic reload in the other instances.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: scripts or add-ons that add a systray icon can cause problems to<br \/>\n\tsome of the Messenger Plus! features.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: the new enhanced text copy feature does not support RTF<br \/>\n\t(formatting attributes are not copied with the text).<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: the enhanced text copy feature is not used when pressing Ctrl+Ins<br \/>\n\tor Shift+Del.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Messenger Plus! notification popups do not stack and appear one<br \/>\n\tat a time.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: encrypted logs cannot be generated nor read on some Windows<br \/>\n\taccounts if the Messenger Plus! keyset container got corrupted.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: auto-update setup does not launch on Windows Vista (fixed for<br \/>\n\tfuture auto-updates, excluding this version).<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: Messenger Lock does not sign-out the current user if his status<br \/>\n\tis appear-offline (when &quot;sign-out&quot; is the status selected for the lock).<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: chat windows cannot be opened anymore and Messenger may crash if<br \/>\n\ta third-party software is used to close a tabbed chat window.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed: bug introduced in the last version. Tabbed chats don&#39;t flash when<br \/>\n\tsome special actions such as \/me commands or winks are received.<\/li>\n<li>Scripts: fixed a problem with rich edit controls re-appearing after a<br \/>\n\tposition change of the parent.<\/li>\n<li>Scripts: added EditBox_SetCurSel, EditBox_ReplaceSel,<br \/>\n\tEditBox_GetCurSelStart, EditBox_GetCurSelEnd,<br \/>\n\tRichEdit_GetTextRange and<br \/>\n\tRichEdit_SetCharFormat to PlusWnd objects to simplify working with edit<br \/>\n\tcontrols.<\/li>\n<li>Scripts: Interop::Call and Interop::Call2 now accept up to 12 parameters<br \/>\n\tso that functions like CreateWindowEx can be called if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Scripts: fixed title bar draw glitch when sending WM_SETICON to an<br \/>\n\tinterface window.<\/li>\n<li>Scripts: OnEvent_Timer function calls are not automatically displayed in<br \/>\n\tthe Script Debugging window anymore. This prevents the window from filling<br \/>\n\tup with continuous repetitive calls.<\/li>\n<li>And yes, many other small things fixed here and there that are not worth<br \/>\n\tmentioning :-).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest version of Messenger Plus! for Windows Live Messenger, Messenger Plus!
