Angel Messenger website launched

This is just a quick post to let you know that the website for Angel Messenger, my .NET graphical client for the Messenger.NET MSN messaging library, has been launched. The website currently does not contain much, but we are hoping to expand and provide online documentation and support forums. Long-term, I am also considereing making a Silverlight/AJAX interface, Angel Web Messenger, which will become part of the website. As part of this, I'm looking for someone to create some graphics for both the website and client, so if anyone is interested, please reply to this blog or via the SourceForge project. The team should be announcing the v0.2.1 and soon after the v0.3.0 releases, so please check the website for any news. In the meanwhile, I would be glad to hear your thoughts and suggestions on the latest release of the client!

Messenger.NET - version 0.2.0

The second releases of Messenger.NET, a .NET 2.0 library and client for accessing the MSN messaging services, are now available for download. We (the team) have added numerous new features to version 0.2.0, and a lot of important bug fixes. This version, though still in the alpha stages, can probably be considered desktop-usable (though I warn you it has a limited number of features still!). You can check out the release notes/change logs here (for the library) and here (for the client). We're hoping to make the v0.2.1 and v0.2.2 releases very soon, hopefully with the help of your feedback and bug reports.

I'm also now announcing that the client, previously named Messenger.NET (as is the library), will be renamed to Angel Messenger for the v0.3.0/v0.4.0 releases. A website for the client, www.angel-messenger.com, is also in development - we hope to include some basic online (and also local) documentation for the next releases of the client. In the meantime, feel free to use the forums on SourceForge.net.
