Bug 421115 – =net-im/skype-4.0.0.7: version bump

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2012-06-14 15:28:15 UTC]

Please bump:

You will find four major changes in this release:
We have a new Conversations View where users can easily track all of their chats in a unified window. Those users who prefer the old view can disable this in the Chat options;
We have a brand new Call View;
Call quality has never been better thanks to several investments we made in improving audio quality; and
We've worked on improving video call quality and have also extended support for more cameras.
Of course, we have loads of other small improvements and fixes. As you can imagine, the list is so long it would take too much time to write it all, but some are worthy of mention:
improved chat synchronization
new presence and emoticon icons
the ability to store and view phone numbers in a Skype contact's profile
much lower chance Skype for Linux will crash or freeze
chat history loading is now much faster
support for two new languages: Czech (flag:cz) and Norwegian (flag:no)

People, when you report bugs, don't do it for 0day packages and _search_ the bugzilla first ALSO for already closed bugs.
Let's see how many more duplicates this bug will gather :/

4.0.0.7-r1 in Portage. There was major problem with the upgrade path from 2.x series.
