This is mostly a bugfix release that should make msn-pecan much more stable. Bug also brings some nice features such as “now playing” support.
Everyone is encouraged to update.
I’ve been busy with other projects so I have not been able to work as
much as I would have wanted, but all in all, this is a good release.
The features (thanks to Devid) include support for “now
playing” (ported from libpurple), and a new way to be notified when a
contact has deleted you (you’ll see on the conversation window). Also,
some issues in Adium were fixed, so we will probably roll an Adium
build with msn-pecan enabled.
I’ve updated my system so it might take a while before the win32
binaries are uploaded, anyone willing to take this one?
Download from the usual place at googe code.

How does the “Now playing” works? Do I need to install something?
