The very first time msn is now gonna introduce a patch service to patch to the next higher version of msn instead of downloading it again fully.
It will be out for public soon but here is a release for our members ;)

For the first time in history, the MSN Messenger team is working on a QFE (or "hotfix") patch to the current build of MSN Messenger (0777). QFE stands for Quick Fix Engineering, which means upgrading (to build 0813) through a small patch instead of a 7mb setup file like we're used to. In the past, many smallband users have complained about having to download entire versions just to upgrade. It seems that Mcft is planning to address this complaint and, who knows, maybe MSN Messenger updates will finally be delivered through Windows Update (or like Phillllllllll reported, the upcoming Mcft Update) in the future.

The patch, currently available strictly to a handful of official BETA-testers, fixes a few bugs (eg. the "Always Sign On As:" bug). In general, BETA-testers have witnessed a faster and smoother overall performance (eg. during the sign-in process) after applying the patch.

The QFE patch to 7.0.0777 is expected to be released to the public in a matter of hours, maybe days, as soon as it's been thoroughly tested. Unless someone leaks it, that is.
The patch updates your MSN Messenger 7.0.0777 (the public release version) to build 0813 and along with several bug fixes it improves general performance and stability.

Oh yeah, and starting with this version previously blocked file extensions .jpg and .mp3 are now available for transfer again.

NOTE: The QFE Patch is still in BETA, so use it at your own risk.


:clap:
