A new build of
MSN Messenger 7 has been sent to BETA-testers just moments ago.
UPDATE: One noticable change is the new Audio
icon in conversation windows. Apart from that, this non-public build
7.0.632 looks no different than the leaked 604 build.
The following Known Issues have been reported by
Microsoft:
- Winks from 7.0.632 can only be sent to
another build 7.0.632. The leaked build (7.0.604) and the public
beta (7.0.425) cannot receive winks from the latest BETA (this will be
fixed in the refresh). Issues may be experienced with Winks if the
installed version of Macromedia Flash is not up to date.
- New
MSN Mobile features such as sending a text message to a contact from
your mobile phone or Offline Messaging will not be immediately
available.
- The MSN Messenger BETA build will not be added to
major firewall provider safelists and may cause firewall software to
display a security error.
- Full-screen Video Conversations may
crash on Windows 98.
- Installation of the BETA version
on Windows Media Center Edition is not supported.
- It is
recommended that Windows 98 and Windows ME users upgrade to
Internet Explorer 6.0 before running the new BETA.
- Some
international character sets or "Double Byte Character Sets" may overlap or
cause the font and/or font size to change.
- The "Customer
Experience Improvement Program" menu item under Help may be inactive. To
get around this, please click on Tools > Options > General.
-
When signing in as anything but "Online", the ad in the main window is
not clickable.
