As I was uploading new examples in the DevZone for the Mac developer, I thought you guys would like to be posted here too.

There have been a couple of important fixes lately in the Skype.framework made by our internal developers.

For example [SkypeAPI connect] and ConnectToSkype functions are much faster now. That was something API Mac developers reported in the past.

Support for multi-threaded API clients was improved and many new commands implemented. We highly recommend you to use the latest version of Skype.framework (2.6.0.142). You could read the Change Log history.

Skype Mac version 2.6 also features a window where it is possible to edit the permissions of Skype API clients.

We also want to remind you that since version 2.5 the method sendSkypeCommand returns info synchronously whenever possible, so the method is now:

+ (NSString*)sendSkypeCommand:(NSString*)aCommandString;

Previously sendSkypeCommand didn't return anything. All information from Skype was delivered by asynchronous callback skypeNotificationReceived and that was much slower and sometimes even caused Skype to freeze.

Once again, we would like to invite you upgrading and using the latest sample codes and API available for Mac OSX.

As you may understand Extras will be available at some point for the Mac client, we would like to see more application developed by Mac developer for Mac users.
