The Messenger Plus! 2.20 Beta includes the following features (as listed on msgplus.net):
- Full Messenger 6 compatibility. I admit I’m kinda proud of that because not much add-ons of this kind can say the same thing. Messenger Plus! has been on the add-on scene for a long time and it will continue to serve you as long as you want it on your computer :).
- The preferences have been reorganized with some new options. That way, old users will find refreshing things in this new release. For example, you can associate groups to signin/signout sound events.
- Several tags have been added like a multi-format tag to display struck-out text. You’ll also find new commands such as /all (sends a message to all your opened conversation windows).
- A lot of you were requesting this one: the new Custom Name feature lets you set your own names for your contacts. Customized names are displayed in the contact list and the toast popup windows. This is very handy when your contacts keep changing their names 🙂
- Another cool new feature: the new “name tag” option of the Personalized Status feature allows you to virtually create any status you want! The Personalised Status feature itself has been reworked a lot so that everything combined together gives you an efficient, useful and fun feature.
- Of course, the list doesn’t end here. One other brand new feature I can almost guarantee for the next version is this one: plug-ins! I know it sounds strange for an add-on to talk about plug-ins but Messenger 6 makes developers’ life more and more miserable so I want to give to the community a chance to easily add things like commands or tags. For example, a programmer could do a tag that displays the current Media Player song or, he/she could create a new command that automatically formats the text like a rainbow. Don’t expect very advanced possibilities but it will be fun enough so that more interesting features can be added to Messenger without my help :).
My recommendation? Check it out if youre a fan, but be sure to pass on the optional “sponsorship” program.
