Windows Live Messenger Build 0566

[pikablu0530]

Screenshot of WLM Build 0566 got from this forum. It's told that there aren't many new features besides UI changes compared to the 0562 build, except the tabs are finally not popping out.

IMO much better than 562 but still not great (only if goes well with black) :D

[BreakingBenjamin]

God, They're keeping the same design, I had a hope that It would be changed, but no ... :(

[lordtinuviel]

WTF???

[afterlife]

wonder if it's legit

[PT 13]

It looks like it

Anyway the beta testers should get a new version (maybe this one) soon

WTF???

it looks the same!!!!!

well, it nearly is... biggest change is making the top part of the GUI left aligned vs right. I liked it right, but meh, it's not bad.

English translation of the source (Google translate):

Today there to see the latest from the web version of the 566, for some special reasons he did not give me, of course, I also understand this point. He said that in addition to the new version of the UI changes, and not so much elsewhere update. One is that more ugly details not stand outside the tab finally, the head picture has changed back to the original position shows. Other do not know.

As for this version when released, I received the news this month visit to another place some time early next month, is merely unknown. Only to wait. 8.0 stereotyped as only hope, stability and the process itself began to change, optimization. Not to constantly change shape, so that those who support the 8.0 release of software supporting the dates, such as MSN live plus! And so on.

[anonymousjon]

[tuinhek]

Holy crap that is awesome :woot: ! The only reason I didn't use the beta was the sucky interface... going to install this one for sure!

[PT 13]

[NoneAvail]

It's getting better and better. (Y)

[SpiralDream]

And YET those stupid OLD MSN Status icons?

Damn...

[PT 13]

I like the old icons more than the "new" ones seen on version 365, their classic :D

You don't think that a major release like this need a whole new kind of icons? Sure 365 version isn't that great but at least it used new icons! lol

See ya

So any news on this? like for example a release date :shifty:

it will be released within the next 5 days, no point saying the exact day because these things can always change :)

and im a fan of the all green status icons in build 365, prefer them to the old ones

[Slimy]

Thanks for the heads up, I just hope they fix a lot of bugs in this release, I doubt many features will be added at this point.

About the icons, see feedback id #28799 and tell them what you think!

If they change the UI (to the screeenshot in the first post) and fix some of the "chat" bugs I would be happy :p

[ServerMechanic]

What's funny is that the more changes they make the more it starts looking like version 7.5 :D

They are really on the ball here.

:rolleyes:

we'll see :p

Not really..

version 365 ? Beta testers invited by friends and by Microsoft <-- but these aren't really beta testers

version 562 ? The actual beta testers that were specifically chosen by Microsoft.

version 566 ? Goes to everyone

The build is expected to be released this week. Normally it should have been last week but there were unforseen circumstances (a flood in the off:pes :p )
