Skype 5.0 Gold for Mac
Posted: 27 Jan 2011 06:54 AM PST
We released Skype 5.0 Gold for Mac. We would like to thank all of you for
providing an extensive amount of feedback to us during the beta period. We have
incorporated many items from the feedback raised in this 'gold' release. In
addition we would like to make a big in front of our Closed Beta testers and
localizer community, for the huge contributions made during the entire
development period.
Download the Skype 5.0 Gold for Mac and please share your feedback via
our forums, and if you experience some glitches, please report them to our
issue tracker.
With the release of Skype 5.0 for Mac, we have made following
improvements:
Resizing UI
Sidebar shrinks as the window gets smaller when the content area is at
its minimum size. It remembers the last position the user dragged it to and
will grow back to this position.
Sidebar collapses when the window is too small to show it and
un-collapses when it gets large enough again.
Full Screen video calling
Users can activate full screen video calls either on 1:1 or Group Video
calls.
Improved visibility in of 'Dial pad' and 'Add Contacts'
We have increased the visibility of 'Dial pad' by moving it to title bar,
and improved 'Add Contacts' functionality during calls and conversations.
