MSN Messenger 7.0.0632 leaked

Microsoft’s MSN division just released Build 632 of MSN Messenger to beta testers.

Although this is not a big jump from last month’s build 604 suprisingly there are still a number of outstanding issues. One such example is the inability to send winks from build 632 to any other build other than 632.
Testers in the beta program confirm that the new build appears to be more stable than the previous build 604.

* Winks can only be sent from build 7.0.632 to build 7.0.632. The leaked build (7.0.604) and the public beta (7.0.425) cannot receive winks from the latest Beta build. This will be fixed in the refresh.

  * New MSN Mobile features such as sending a text message to a contact from your mobile phone or viewing messages sent to your MSN Messenger account from a mobile user when offline will not be immediately available.

  * The MSN Messenger beta build will not be added to major Firewall provider safelists and may cause your firewall software to display a security error. Please manually allow the MSN Messenger software access to the Internet. Please contact your firewall provider for more information if you are unsure of how to do this.

  * Full-screen Video Conversations may crash on Windows 98.

  * Installation of the Beta version on Windows Media Center Edition is not supported.

  * Issues may be experienced with Winks if the installed version of Macromedia Flash is not up to date. Please update to the latest version of flash at http://messenger.msn.com/flash.

  * It is recommended that Windows 98 and Windows ME users upgrade to Internet Explorer 6.0 before running the MSN Messenger 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.

  * Localized (non-English) builds of MSN Messenger will only be able to seen the English-United States winks and the names may not match.
