Skype for Linux 4.2 Is Now Available To Download

Skype is software for calling other people on their computers or phones. Download Skype and start calling for free all over the world.  Skype is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, Symbian, iPhone, iPad and Android.  The calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with end-to-end encryption. You don't even need to configure your firewall or router or any other networking gear. Now you can chat with your friends on Messenger, Xbox, Hotmail and Outlook.com accounts through Skype by just sign in with your Microsoft account.

What’s New:

Increased the stability when logging in from a Microsoft Account. There are also greater efficiencies, such as not having to re-type your password when entering via “My Account” if you are already logged-in with the client. Voice messaging is optimized for ease of use and is now just one click away from the options window. Features:
  • When opening account’s links open your logged-in account.
  • Add subscription status and link to the account brief view in the main window.
  • Add a button to enable voice message from the options dialog.
  • When sharing the screen in a multiple monitor setup, share the one where the call window is at the moment.
  • Add Messenger predefined group when logged-in with your MSA account.
Improvements:
  • Create an entry point to hold a conference call from the conversations view.
  • New sizes for the Skype icon.
Bugfixes:
  • Artifacts in the contact list after changing topic or picture in a multichat.
  • Searching in the chat window when ‘Ignore poster names’ is set might lead to client crash.
  • Skype crashes on attempting to stop sharing selection being in a call on hold.
  • Disabling Birthday notification doesn’t work.
  • Clicking on certain contact request notifications lead always to the wrong contact request against ‘live’ contact.
  • Hide screen sharing window when call paused.
  • Link bounding rectangle mismatch in chat when font is smaller than an emoticon present on the same line.
  • Double click on a PSTN contact should follow preferred action and not always call.
  • Do not pollute the Clipboard with quoted text when quoting a chat message.
  • Do not show call on hold for conversations that cannot be put on hold (I.e: echo123).
  • Call hold overlay icon goes away giving the idea the call is resumed when is not.
  • Show mute indicator at the bottom even when muting from the keyboard shortcut.
  • Do not show the login window if autologin plus start Skype minimized are enabled.
  • Mark the birthday “read” when seen in the chat.
