• Personalized Status in Away mode, you can do /away).
• Fixed some problems related to Messenger 5 and Windows XP (such as contacts not showing in the Contact Manager).
• Special Tags are parsed correctly when using a Quick Text alias
• Popup windows such as the Personalized Status get the focus when they are displayed
• No, you’re not dreaming, it finally happened…. using the (!IP) tag displays all you’re IPs… very useful when you have a local network

• Ctrl+O with Ctrl+K works better now.
• No more crash when you play with Contact Sound preferences while signed out.
