# Known changes

(from MSNP9):

Added new initial profile variable TOUNeeded. If exists and set to 1, a dialog box to review the Messenger Service Terms of Use is shown to the user.
Changed SYN request and response. Client: SYN transactionID listVersion settingsVersion. Server: SYN transactionID listVersion settingsVersion numberOfContacts numberOfGroups. settingsVersion is always 0.
Removed unused parameter from LSG.
Current display name is removed from USR, now is returned with other user properties (PRP commands) in SYN.
PRP MFN replaces REA (current user handle). SBP (contact ID) MFN replaces other uses of REA.
LST: Added prefixes to the user handle (N=) and friendly name (F=) parameters.
Added new initial profile variable ABCHMigrated. If set to 1, some commands are altered, such as:
- SYN: The request and response's list versions are now ISO 8601 with 7 subsecond digits, usually with a -07:00 timezone offset. the previously unused second parameter (both request and response) is used as the Last Settings Version, and follows the same time format as List Versions now do.
- LST: GUID specified as C= parameter, group IDs are now GUIDs.
- ADC, REM: uses GUIDs instead of contact user handles if the list is the Forward List (FL), and same applies also for groups.
- LSG, ADG: Uses GUIDs instead of IDs.
- SBP: Uses the contact's GUID instead of the Contact Address.
All list version updating commands no longer return the current list version when used. The following commands are affected:
- GTC
- BLP
- ADG
- BPR
- REG
- RMG
- REM
- PRP
Added a new list: Pending List/PL (bit 5, decimal 16). Is meant for unhandled contact added you notifications.
Added new server-side OUT reasons: MIG, if the server has migrated you to ABCH, and TOU, for not accepting the Service Terms of Use.
Official Client: Now handles the 604, 914, 916 error codes again, which were last seen in Client Version 3.6.003x. Error code 913 is no longer handled after being implemented in Client Version 4.5.
First protocol version to remove a core command implemented since MSNP2 draft (ADD).
