It looks like the current build of Windows Live Messenger (8.0.0792.00) will be replaced soon by a new build versioned 8.0.0812.00. The update is not available yet through the automatic update feature built-in to the Windows Live Messenger application. By the time you read this this build should be available too through the official channels.
Some important changes (source):
- Less crashes (which I personally find a great feature)
- Better audio & video quality
- Fixed a whole bunch of connectivity issues
Here is the link to the download page on Microsoft Dowloads and another link on the offcial Windows Live Messenger download page.
