Last week when Windows Live Messenger 8 was released, Katie Blanch mentioned a few bug fixes to the add-ins feature:
- A possible crash when an add-in throws an unhandled managed exception.
- Encoding/Decoding issues for action messages that would cause unicode characters to not display properly.
- Issues sending messages if you specify a large name for your add-in.
You can find out more about the Window Live Messenger add-ins functionality at it’s documentation at MSDN and the Messenger section at Windows Live Dev.
If anyone is interested, there will be a few Windows Live Messenger Add-Ins available from our store over the next few weeks.
They are all currently in beta testing but will be available shortly, starting with the Say What! Add-In.
