Today we have released Skype 2.8 Gold for Mac.

This version brings to you two new features: Skype Access and screen sharing.

Start downloading it now.

We would like to thank everyone who has taken their time to report issues on our public issue tracker or on the forums during the beta phase, or just commented on the blog posts about it. Of course, feel free to continue posting there.

In addition to the public beta testers we would like to give a huge bow in front of our volunteer translators community who have localized Skype 2.8 for Mac to their own languages. Last but definitely not least, it's time to hand over the thank you awards to our closed beta testers who have done splendid work on helping us to iron out bugs from all internal builds between public releases.

Full release notes for the release build 2.8.0.659 are available in the Developer Zone.
