I wouldn't know but they haven't updated it in a long time. Sounds like the two companies Gw Micro and Microsoft tried to negoatiate something but all fell through with this decision.

Does this mean some forthcoming improvements in the script for the
Skype client?

Hello Ahmed,

This will have no effect on the official Skype client from skype.com.

What does that mean for users of the normal skype application, and
not the GW-Connect? Does this mean that We will no longer be able to
use the Skype application downloaded from the Skype downloaded from
Skype's web site?

Please, your response is highly required and appreciated.

Dear fans and supporters of GWConnect.

We were notified by Microsoft earlier today that support for
SkypeKit, the heart of GWConnect, ended yesterday, July 31, 2014 and
no further updates will be available.  In addition, on Monday August
4, 2014 SkypeKit will stop working which means GWConnect will also
stop working.  We were hoping for a different outcome but this is
beyond our control.  We also hoped for a greater warning but again,
we just became aware today.

Everyone who purchased a 12-month license for GWConnect will receive
a prorated refund.  In other words, if 11 months ago you purchased
the 12-month license, your refund will be much smaller than the
person who purchased it today.  There are no 1 month licenses that
ran for less than 1 month so those are not affected.  We will
contact everyone who is receiving a refund as quickly as possible.

We sincerely wished for a different ending but we truly thank all of
you who supported this fine product.  Please stay in touch with us
as we continue to provide new and better products in the future.

Best Regards,

Your AI Squared team
