Messenger Plus! Live 4.83.372

(2009.10.17)

Changes in 4.83.372
* Tested and compatible with the latest Messenger update: 14.0.8089.726.
* All the code related to the 2009 Contest has been removed from this version. Thanks again for playing!
* Improved network hooking mechanism. For some people, this will improve how Messenger Plus! catches various network events (used for notifications, the event viewer, ...). For other people, this will solve a rare problem where Messenger crashes upon sign-in (Messenger Plus! will try to detect the faulty behaviour caused by buggy network software and will switch to an alternate hooking method automatically when Messenger is restarted).
* Messenger tends to slow down when improper compatibility settings are set for msnmsgr.exe. The setup of Messenger Plus! now resets the compatibility settings set for Messenger in Windows Vista and above.
* Added a new preference setting in the "Customize!" panel to let you opt-out of any current and future promotion organised with Messenger Plus! (like contests or various promotional notifications).
* Fixed: Messenger Plus! is not compatible with BitDefender Total Security 2010. This will probably fix some other similar incompatibilities as well. Note that as a result, keyboard shortcuts in Messenger Plus! windows (like pressing Tab to move to the next control) may stop working and the Messenger systray icon may not be replaced by Messenger Lock.
* Fixed: the "Enhance copy/paste" feature in chat windows inserts an Arabic B character instead of an asterisk at the beginning of new messages.
* Fixed: sign-in notifications in Messenger Plus! (Event Viewer, scripts, ...) aren't working as they should in Windows XP with Messenger 8.5 since September due to a protocol change.
* Scripts. Fixed: MsgPlus::DownloadFile() does not accept user names and passwords with a @ character.
