Skype 4.0 Gold for Windows

By My status Raul on February 2, 2009 in General, Skype for Windows.

Today is the day. Skype 4.0 for Windows becomes the production version of Skype.

Our engineers have been working long days and nights over the last two and a half years to make 4.0 a reality. Peter has written a bit about the early days of 4.0 and the beta period.

We recommend that everyone upgrades to Skype 4.0. Start downloading now.

I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with the 4.0 beta version over time. Every single one of you who has submitted forum posts and issue reports in Jira, which has helped us considerably to find out what you think about it and what needed improving. Then secondly I'd like to thank all our closed beta testers who have been using 4.0 since the early days and who have given us an enormous amount of feedback on the alpha versions, plus hundreds of bug reports.

Please continue letting us know what you think about Skype 4.0 for Windows or other products through forums, and continue to report issues in Jira.

Today's release resolves a long list of issues and brings lots of final polish. Unfortunately it has also few known issues, which may affect some users.

See the release notes on our Developer wiki or view our new release document (PDF).

Enjoy using Skype ;)
