It was discretely leaked last nite on a few sites, its not really a big build to worry about, mainly a bug fixing build. This build was released on the official msn messenger newsgroups (only Msn Messenger beta testers have access).

Well done Ahmz055 (Ahmad) for makeing A-Patch compatible, faster than mess-patch like always!

[lordtinuviel]

ah ok

[eSouL]

So is text ad still showing in this latest build (of A-Patch)?
