I am releasing JAWS scripts for Skype version 4.2d. This update works with all Skype versions supported by version 4.2c, including the new public beta of Skype 5.0. For anyone that used the semi-private script beta whose URL I posted here recently, this update replaces and adds to that script version.
This update contains the following enhancements over script version 4.2c: In addition to Tab and Shift+Tab, arrows can now be used to move between live calls and other list items in the main Skype window. When the scripts move you between a live call and a non-live entry, a small sound will be heard to let you know that you have crossed that border in the list. Tapping Home a couple of times should move you reliably to the first live call, if focus is in the contact, conversation, or history list. This significantly eases the task of getting to an incoming call. Contact, conversation, and history list item counts are accurate rather than being artificially high as before. If anyone using the semi-private beta experienced random item count announcements, this should be fixed by this update as well. Loading and unloading another screen reader while running JAWS and Skype should no longer cause Skype to quit supplying accessibility information in most cases. (This was previously fixed for Skype 4.1, but this update applies that fix to Skype 4.2 and 5.0 versions also.) For the public beta of Skype 5.0, F6 and Ctrl+Accent, with or without Shift, will include the new Call window in the set of screen areas to cycle among.
