[Bug 1013981] [NEW] New upstream release: skype 4.0 for linux

 

Public bug reported:

There is a new upstream release for skype:
http://www.skype.com/intl/en/get-skype/on-your-computer/linux/
http://blogs.skype.com/linux/2012/06/skype_40_for_linux.html

Quote:

You will find four major changes in this release:

    We have a new Conversations View where users can easily track all of their chats in a unified window. Those users who prefer the old view can disable this in the Chat options;
    We have a brand new Call View;
    Call quality has never been better thanks to several investments we made in improving audio quality; and
    We've worked on improving video call quality and have also extended support for more cameras.

Of course, we have loads of other small improvements and fixes. As you
can imagine, the list is so long it would take too much time to write it
all, but some are worthy of mention:

    improved chat synchronization
    new presence and emoticon icons
    the ability to store and view phone numbers in a Skype contact's profile
    much lower chance Skype for Linux will crash or freeze
    chat history loading is now much faster
    support for two new languages: Czech (flag:cz) and Norwegian (flag:no)

** Affects: skype (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New
