Open Beta update - 1.3.0.37

By My status Berkus on August 17, 2006 in New betas and releases.

Yesterday we’ve released a small update to the open beta of 1.3.

The most important features include:

* web presence privacy option - now you can make your web buttons work!
* minimum window size change - now you can make skype main window much more narrow, which is a Good Thing (tm)
* /alertson and /alertsoff commands are implemented - so no more DND because of that chit chat popping up all the time.
* skype-action-handler is included - it is a small helper program that will allow you to follow skype: links in your browser and magically have it end up in your skype! Try [this](skype:berkus?userinfo). You will need to do some manual setup before, the docs will be available shortly. I hope to automate setup for the next releases too (and if someone knows how to add custom uri handlers support to Opera - let me know :))
* the default sounds do not crack at the end.

Get the update [here](http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/13beta.html).

Skype crashes after using link starting with digit or plus without ?call at the end, for example skype:1234 or skype:+1234

skype:+1234?call works good

Nice release, seems to work better. Looking forward to a final 1.3 ;-)

Funny think, this web status. I have had an idea that it is stored on a central server ... meaning if I have turned it on using Windows client, it will work from then in any circumstances ... but it did not, so it must be stored only within client :-o

Would it be possible to release those betas via the package repository? Perhaps having an UNstable APT repository would be a good way to achieve this, without disrupting the packages in the stable repository.

I tried to run skype from my linux partition. Refused to run because I am missing libstdc++.so.5. I have the newer libraries, libstdc++.so.6 installed. Tried to make a symbolic link with no joy. Why do you not release source code so that we can compile it against the libraries we have? I definately do not want to downgrade my operating system to run skype :(.

Help!

skype for linux 1.5.3.053 works fine on a Thinkpad T60 /kubuntu 6.10 with default mic and speakers (and great with a headset) , but I'd very much appreciate the video feed that Mac and Windows have. Video, Video Video! Please!
