来自 Mess 的消息, 今天 WLM8 会发布一个新版本 8.0.0566, 部分截图可以在 WLM 的 Blog 上看到.The Windows Live Messenger team is planning to release their next Beta to all (including invited) testers today. Apart from the many reported changes compared to build 0365, the refresh is not entirely the same as build 0562. New improvements: Contact List (see screenshot)

- Nickname in black, personal status message in soft gray. - Once again, a new logo.

- Your Display Picture and buttons aligned to the left again (phew!) - Word Wheel layout changed, Buddy List buttons now placed at the right hand side.

- New icons for expanding groups. - Tab icons placed back inside the main window.

- Less spacing between contacts. Conversation Window (see screenshot) - Ink/type tabs on the right. As balupton and unforeseen have noticed, Live Contacts are now really "live". Check out your own and your contacts' contact cards to see it in action and edit the information. You'll read it here as soon as Windows Live Messenger Beta 8.0.0566 hits the web.
