  New Windows Live Messenger Beta 8.0.566 Released Today
Time: 14:11 EST/19:11 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein

Thanks Brandon for the tip. The Messenger team has released a new beta today, here are the significant changes:

New Functionality

  • See that transfer status of the files you're sharing in your Sharing Folders.
  • Get your File/Edit/Actions/Tools/Help menus by clicking the arrow next to “minimize” in the main window/conversation window
  • Colorization colors the whole main window, not just the header
  • Scrolling on the emoticon/nudge/wink tool bar. If you keep your window small, you can still get to everything. Oh. We reordered them too so it looks cleaner
  • Users in English-speaking markets - link to This Blog! from the "Help" Menu.
  • Contact sorting back to the way you said you liked it alphabetical instead of by status.
  • Sharing Folders are AWESOME but sometimes you just want to send over one file. Pick your prefered method of file transfer from the sharing button.
  • Way improved "Add a Contact" Dialogue.

New Icons

  • Buddy List view (where you sort, or chose to show more details)
  • The Windows Live Messenger Beta logo at the top
  • Search button at the very bottom.
  • Brought back status icons so you can tell “busy” v. “away” If you think it looks outdated – we agree – we're working on icons that are both good lookng AND show “busy” v. “away”

Eliminated Waste

  • Contacts are closer together so you can fit more in your window
  • The ME area above your contacts is smaller to make more room for you contact list
  • Tightened up the space between the display pictures in the conversation window
  • Removal of Text in several places:
  • “Search” on the search box in the main window
  • Names of buttons in the conversation window
  • “Send” & “Search” are now both smaller and moved inside the text entry box Turn off your tabs in Tools-->Options-->Tabs
