its not about the client only its about the service.

update: Well everything it seems to be back to normal

Oddly, mere days after the release of the supposed "final" build of Windows Live Messenger (Build 787), Microsoft have released a new build of WLM - 8.0.0792.

The few changes offered in this build are currently unknown. We will keep you updated if a significant change is discovered. You need to download the 15 MB (approx.) package yet again, as no simple upgrade pack is available.

Update: Additional localized versions have been found, you can download them by using the links below.

English

French

Spanish

Enjoy! :)

again! lol I just downloaded last night and installed for the second time because they said they fixed the sounds; but it was still the same sounds after all, I'll wait to see what's new from what others say....

It appears they have removed the "grouping sentences" when you type, and it appends to what you said last, that has been removed from either 790, or 792 or both. anywho, it's good to have it back :)

Mm, you guys should stick to the 787 version.

Is there a build 792? Yes.

Should you be downloading it? Not really. To be honest, it's not

officially released yet, test isn't done testing it, so you're installing it

at your own risk. We don't have a date or time that it will be officially

released. And, for what it is worth, you won't see any differences if you

do use it.

What changed? I really want to know! I've really said all I can. Sorry.

    • Yes, Scoop was created to promote Coreutils for Windows. You can still see early versions of their website on the Web Archive. It was a joke that nobody took seriously. Microsoft's implementation of Coreutils, however, are built in Rust.
    • Looks like EA's Star Wars Zero Company will be out this August by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Over a year ago, EA surprise announced that a team of former Firaxis members is working on a brand-new Star Wars game. Dubbed Zero Company, the title would have XCOM-like turn-based tactics gameplay as players manage a squad of professionals from all over the galaxy. Now, just ahead of an official announcement, it looks like the release date has leaked out. The upcoming Summer Game Fest presentation on Friday is when EA is supposed to show off the title's gameplay footage, with fans also expecting it to reveal a release date. However, the ever-reliable billbil-kun from Dealabs says they have already managed to find out when the game is coming out and what versions fans will have the option of purchasing. Per the leak, Star Wars Zero Company has an August 27, 2026, release date attached to it. The title is slated to release on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 standard and $59.99 Deluxe edition. The leaker also adds that there won't be any early access perk attached to this special edition. Pre-orders could kick off alongside the official announcement this Friday, too. For those unfamiliar with the title, Bit Reactor is developing Star Wars Zero Company with help from Respawn Entertainment and Lucasfilm Games. The EA-published title is said to be set during the "twilight of the Clone Wars." We will have to wait and see if base building and management mechanics from the XCOM series will be present here, too. "You will step into the shoes of Hawks, a former Republic officer who leads Zero Company — an unconventional outfit of professionals for hire hailing from across the galaxy," reads the game description. "Hawks and Zero Company are recruited for an operation that pits them against an emerging threat that will consume the galaxy if left unchecked. To succeed, Hawks will lead a team of uneasy allies who must set aside their differences to overcome nearly impossible odds." You can catch the Star Wars Zero Company extended gameplay reveal at the Summer Game Fest showcase that's kicking off on Friday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET.
    • All their other games always had a new cast and new story, so that's not very surprising. The new dev is worrisome though.
    • New dev usually means more trash. I also despise that they censored the 1 remake.
