This is VersionTracker's fault for posting BETA software as if it's the normal release. Use the standard release, and allow it to automatically update itself and forget about VersionTracker's insistence upon posting every developer BETA as if it were meant to be used by the general public.

It's BETA, use the STANDARD release - David K. Wolfe

My version of Skype indicates it is already up to date, even though it isn't. Had to down load it from Version Tracker to update it.

VT badges as Beta so whats your issue? - anothersphere

Poster complains VT posts Betas, but it is badged as beta under licence.
Thought is required before downloading and installing software.
If you cant read, dont use VT and dont download and install what you dont understand.

Here here! That poster didn't seem to understand that for Skype (which doesn't seem to understand the generally accepted use of beta software), the betas are wayyyy better than the standard releases.
