5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
A week later, on 23 May, it released version 2.6.0.140 with a list of bug fixes: an update for USB/Bluetooth audio, localsation fixes; changing the menu item 'Rename...' to 'Edit Contact...' for SkypeOut contacts; fixing deleting header files from Skype framework and fixing a bug which caused a crash after forced upgrade. Skype has given no indication of what bug fixes are incorporated in the latest version (2.6.0.148). However one commentator on the VersionTracker website, who appeared well-informed, wrote: "This version has updated audio engine and we are highly recommending for everyone to upgrade. Audio changes include: Skype's own audio codec Skype improved conference mixer, Skype Jitter Buffer and concealment, Skype audio preprocessing components. "Other changes in newly released version 2.6.0.148 are: localisations, all updated; bugfix, fixed application hangup on handling certain URL links in chat messages; bugfix, fixed exception (resulting in disappearance of message) on handling certain intentionally constructed 'bad' chat messages; bugfix, privacy policy fix, not accepting multichats from non-authorised users." With such significant improvements, one wonders why Skype itself is being so low-key about this latest release.{moscomment} |
