JAWS Script for Skype 6.9 (Revision 69a):

This is the first script release specifically aimed at Skype 6.9 and later. These scripts are not intended for use with any Skype version older than 6.9. This script version is also restricted to JAWS 12.0 and later and will not install on older JAWS versions.
Change Log:
Revision 759, released October 4, 2013
This is the first version aimed specifically at Skype 6.9 and later and JAWS 12 and later. There may be remaining issues, as this was a fast release to support Skype 6.9 shortly after it became available to the public. • Chat navigation commands (Alt with numbers, arrows, Home, End, and NumPad5) are fixed to work with Skype 6.9's slightly revised chat structure.
• The problems with arrowing through the list of hotkeys in Options > Hotkeys are fixed in Skype 6.9 itself, so the code for working around them in the Skype scripts is removed in this script release. Revision 760, released October 4, 2013
Ctrl+3 works again to move to the list of active calls. Revision 762, released October 4, 2013
This is the first version of the 6.9 scripts recommended for translators.
• The names of various Skype lists, such as Active Calls, Recent Messages, and Chat Content List, now speak as they gain focus.
• Names of various lists in Skype that are now language-specific (localized) but previously were not are moved from skype.jsh to skype.jsm. Translators, look for "conv5" in skype.jsm to find them. Each constant is commented with the name of the corresponding constant from the Skype language file. Skype.jsh should no longer need language-specific versions (unless I missed something of course). Note: Skype 6.9 changes a few things as part of efforts to improve accessibility. Items of this sort will be noted below as they are discovered: • The format of chat lines and other list items is improved in Skype 6.9 as compared to 6.7: Skype user IDs are present again, new message indicators appear before rather than after other information including mood text, and complex list items such as for file transfers are structured more normally.
• F2, the JAWS script command for turning on/off the announcement of timestamps on chat lines, will not work in Skype 6.9 because of changes in the structure of provided information for each chat line. I have asked Microsoft to make timestamps disappear from the provided accessibility information when the user shuts them off visually from the Options > IM Appearance page. This may be fixed accordingly in an upcoming Skype release.
