Messenger Plus! History » Group of Versions

2.51.68 November 1, 2003
  • The Import Preferences feature has been fixed to properly import your preferences everytime.
  • The Word Duel easter egg internal protections have been improved.
  • Several translations have been updated.
    • Korean, Turkish and Galizian have been added!
  • The Last Time Seen Online property for your contacts works better.
  • A number between "1" and "20" can now be specified as parameter to the /persostat command to quickly use a pre-recorded Personalised Status.
  • Bug fixed in the docking feature when using several monitors.
  • Notification windows have been improved.
    • Popups now display on top of the screen when your taskbar is at the top too.
    • Popups always have the correct size and position, this is not depending on your version of MSN Messenger or Windows Messenger.
    • When a notification popup is displayed, a Messenger Plus! icon flashes in your systray to be sure that you notice the popup.
  • The scheduler has been improved.
    • When not explicitly dismisssed (either by right clicking in the notification or clicking on the close button), notifications are displayed every 3 minutes, up to 3 times (can be modified with the new "SchedulerMaxRecall" registry key). You have no more excuses for missing your scheduled events now!
    • Added a "SchedulerToastDelay" registry key to change the number of seconds scheduler notifications are kept displayed on the screen. The maximum allowed value is 60 seconds and it is not recommended to use a value above 30 seconds (this will block other notifications displayed by Messenger).
  • When the "CommandErrorMessage" registry setting is set to "0", bad commands are sent as text, as previous versions of Messenger Plus! did.
  • Full international support for dates and times displayed everywhere in the software.
    • The TimeFormatAmPm registry key is obsolete.
    • The most noticeable changements related will probably be the use of AM/PM time when required and month names in your own language for the log archive directories.
    • The (!DD) and (!DM) tags now display the full name of the current day or month.
    • The Date and Time tags for registry settings have been modified. To avoid backward compatibility problems, registry settings that use these tags have been renamed.
  • New registry setting: "ChatLogTimeStampFmt". You can use it to modify the way time stamps are written at the beginning of each line in chat logs.
  • The Instant Lock reactivation bug is finally fixed! clicking on the Messenger icon can no longer reactivate Messenger without the password.
  • Your name is no more automatically changed back for no reason, when you sign-on, when you use Personalised Statuses.
  • Big thanks to Dane for his precious help on this version.
  • Some other bug fixes and small improvements you probably won't notice :).
