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: voicemail subscribers can leave voicemail to anyone
  • feature: add an outgoing call to an ongoing call to then create a conference
  • feature: add an incoming call to an ongoing call to then create a conference
  • change: new default avatar
  • change: clickable area of the call and hang up buttons is slightly smaller now, making it less likely to place a call accidentally
  • change: removed "no unread messages" text from mc drawer items
  • change: added online status popup menu and icon to mc windows
  • change: added Skype Address Book Dialer that enables to dial properly formatted phone numbers from Address Book
  • change: it is now possible to change your online status in the main menu (Account -> Change Status)
  • change: submenu with SkypeOut numbers is shown under "Call" menu item in the context menus of contact list and call list (only if the selected user has entered phone numbers in his/her profile)
  • change: multiple selection in the contact list, makes it very easy to start conference calls or multichats
  • change: separate menu commands (and key equivalents) for closing windows and single chats in chat window
  • change: added "view call list" menu item, which filters call list by the selected contact
  • bugfix: renamed Rendezvous to Bonjour
  • bugfix: cmd-W closes only chat or whole chat window, cmd-Shift-W in multichat window closes only front chat (instead of whole window)
  • bugfix: chat input spellchecker state (continuous check on/off) is now stored in preferences
  • bugfix: when you log in, then your online status will be the status you had when you logged out last time (it was always set to Online before)
  • bugfix: call list was only filtered by display name (now it also filters by username)
  • bugfix: fixed showing chat history (for 1-1 chats)
  • bugfix: fixed a bug that might have caused random crashes when MC window was visible
  • bugfix: voicemail view was not removed from the drawer, when you deleted the voicemail during its playback
  • bugfix: the number of new voicemails was not shown in the My Skype tab after logout/login
  • bugfix: the number of new voicemails was sometimes incorrect in the My Skype tab
  • bugfix: unplayed voicemails had the same icon in the call list as played voicemails
  • bugfix: fixed a bug that caused old chat messages to appear repeatedly
  • bugfix: voicemails were sometimes not shown in call list (or shown twice)
  • bugfix: after logging out, it was not possible to log in again sometimes
  • bugfix: offline status didn't work as it should
  • bugfix: some toolbar items and buttons were mistakenly enabled in logged out state
  • bugfix: fixed a bug that caused invalid display of mc member list when number of members changed
  • bugfix: Bonjour now works on Tiger too (earlier it did not)

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
