Messenger Library V2.0 moving to V2.5

We posted a few months ago about our planned change to point Windows Live Messenger Library V2.0 to V2.5.

We plan to make this change next week.

As we indicated previously, V2.0 and V2.5 are very close feature-wise and we developed V2.5 to be fully backward compatible with V2.0.  We have been maintaining separate code bases for each version.  As you can imagine, there is a cost to maintaining two code bases for almost the same functionality.

Because of this, we are unifying V2.5 and V2.0, using the V2.5 code base for both.  What this means for you is that you will continue to be able to load the library at both URLs (https://www.wlmessenger.net/api/2.0/messenger.js and https://www.wlmessenger.net/api/2.5/messenger.js) but they will point to the exact same code.

We will make another announcement here when the change has been completed.

Thank you.
