Windows Live Essentials 'beta' out now!


Recommended Posts

wave 1 and 2 were 9

8 is an earlier version

3 is 14

4 is 15

Umm, no. Epic Fail, how can two waves be 9. :s And how can the next wave be 4 versions ahead. Windows Live Wave 1 was definitely not 9.

...So how do Wave 3 become 14.0... Has to be a reason why the change. :s

The thread title is so misleading. I was going to cry in happiness.

Yeah I don't know why the entire staff just sits around and laughs at everybody else who doesn't have the build... The staff needs to wake up and realize they have a job and fix the title because the OP is too obsessed to do that and wants everybody to see it on the Spy and elsewhere...

No the sooner I get it, the better.

You don't know who ahmz is, do you? :D

This makes absolutely no sense... I remember Windows Live Messenger 8.5 coming out refreshing the look and making it Windows Live Wave 2, with the Windows Vista look. Then I remember the excitement with what was going to be Windows Live Messenger 9.0, which was Wave 3's version. Confused! :s

I'll explain below :)

3 is 14

4 is 15

That's incorrect.

During Windows Live 'Wave 1', Microsoft released the 'Wave 1' version of Messenger which was version 8.0.x and they later updated this 'Wave' with version 8.1.x

The release of the Windows Live 'Wave 2' software included Windows Live Messenger 2008; this was version 8.5.x

Windows Live Essentials 2009, which was the 'Wave 3' software, contained Windows Live Messenger 2009; they bumped this version of Messenger up to 14.x to keep it in-line with other Windows Live software (Windows Live Mail, which was built upon Outlook Express, was version 14.x at the time).

Now - most likely this week - the 'beta' version of Windows Live Messenger 2011 will be released, included with the 'beta' of Windows Live Essentials 2011; this version will be version 15.x

I hope that clears up any confusion :)


Threads merged

Thread title changed to something much less misleading

I believe it actually took their entire server down.

I know (snipped) is on this story like mad. So when the link does come available they will post it faster than ever, and then the server will crash...... again! :no:

On it like mad? All I can see that they've posted is that they've heard the 'beta' build was compiled today, which might make sense seeing as the WLMessenger team have gone out to a disco tonight?

The only result in google, when you search for this build number "15.4.2847.0621" from trustnerd.com is Neowins thread about it

I know, I have google to show the latest news on that build number for twitter/websites/etc. Let's hope it's leaked! :p

Exactly, I don't know what all the hype was about that everybody thought it was some official beta leak...

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
