# Introduction
MSNP6 is the fifth released version of the Mobile Status Notification Protocol.
It was introduced officially in Client Version 3.6.0038.

# Command information
It introduces the notification service commands:
* [CHL](../commands/chl.md)
* IPG
* QRY

*No switchboard or dispatch service commands were known to be introduced in this version*

*No error codes were known to be introduced in this version*

*No commands were known to be removed in this version*

# Known changes
(from [MSNP5](msnp5.md)):
* USR OK now has a verified bit (parameter 4), if 0, shows a warning to verify the account.
  NOTE: Your display name will be forced to be
  `example@hotmail.com (E-Mail Address Not Verified)`, and can not be changed.
* Client-server challenges were introduced. The format for the response is
  `MD5(challenge + clientSecret)` as a lowercase hex-string.
* An example client secret is `Q1P7W2E4J9R8U3S5`, which is tied to `msmsgs@msnmsgr.com`.
* First protocol version added in a patch release (Client Versions 3.6.0025 and 3.6.0026 do not support MSNP6).
* Official Client: Added new [URL](../commands/url.md) services `PROFILE`, `N2PACCOUNT` and `N2PFUND`.
