Skype 3.5.0.229 Released

On Wednesday the Skype development team released version 3.5.0.229 which is a small bugfix release.

I meant to post about this the other day but I’ve been debugging a new application with a programming friend, so I was a little distracted.

• bugfix: Skype crashed when ending a call and Do More menu is open at the same time
• bugfix: Send Money did not work
• bugfix: Skype crashed when call was finished during call transfer attempt
• bugfix: Skype crashes on Windows 98 when receiving video
• bugfix: Video call freeze with some rare webcam’s
• bugfix: Skype crashed sometimes when not supported video capture device was used
• change: Updated language files

Take note of the fix for Windows 98. People are still running that in a real world application setting? I’ve recently used it for a new MAME machine I’m working on but that’s about it.

Even though this is only a bugfix release and not a major security release, you should still upgrade.

It’s always better to be running the latest stable version of any application… with the exception of Internet Explorer 7… oh how I dislike Internet Exploder.

Now that you know “what’s new” with Skype, go grab the latest version for your Operating System of choice.

A little bit about Skype:

Skype is internet communications. Skype is software that lets you use your computer and internet connection to communicate with anyone, anywhere in the world.
