Just as we told you yesterday, the Pro version of the popular IM+ instant messaging application received a major update that comprised important bug fixes and new features.

Today, the free build of the app got the same enhancements, but keep in mind that it continues to display advertisements while using it.

IM+ Free now comes with group chat support, so you can create and join conference rooms, while the new file transfer capability gives you the option to quickly send a file without leaving the Modern UI of your Windows 8 computer.

In addition, the app packs Portuguese localization and a notification box, according to the official release notes published in the Store.

As usual, it works like a charm on all Windows 8 versions, including x86, x64 and ARM builds.
