Product Description:

Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk and chat with your friends.

The technology is extremely advanced – but super simple to use... You’ll be making free phone calls to your friends in no time!

What's new in this version:

  • feature: call list searching and filtering
  • change: pressing Enter or Return key triggers default action on selected contact in contact list and call list
  • change: Command+Shift+Arrow Left/Right switches between tabs in the main window
  • change: drag & drop files to contact list to initiate file transfer
  • change: holding/resuming calls when you have multiple calls or conference calls
  • change: ESC closes Edit Profile window
  • change: if you want to reset your avatar, select it and press DEL or backspace
  • change: start conference window is resizable, tables double-clickable, ESC closes window
  • bugfix: calls between versions starting from 1.0.0.7 and older did not work in some rare cases, there may have been silence or noise in both directions
  • bugfix: online user count text didn't fit when main window was made very narrow
  • bugfix: Skype crashed, when tried to make a conference call with a person with whom you already had a call
  • bugfix: validation of some menu items was wrong
  • bugfix: all previous versions incorrectly set incoming port to 54045 as default. Now a random incoming port is selected

I've tried the new version 2.8.0.722, but my experience wasn't too good.

The new interface is more like the windows version, crunched with things. Some people like it, I rather the clean style (like in Mac-Gnome).

But what made me return to the previous version I had installed was the quality. Sound and video were quite terrible. I tried deleting preferences and fix permissions but it didn't do any good.

For me (Macbook pro1,1, OS 10.5.8 at test-time and 10.6.1 now) Skype version 2.7.0.330 is the one that works the best so far.

Installed perfectly and works perfectly Just had to reset some of the preferences to my settings. No idea why the previous users have so much trouble Agreed, maybe you need a Directory repair and Cache cleaner iMac 2009 24" 2.66 Snow Leopard 10.6.1
