Skype 2.8 Beta 2 for Mac

This is probably one of the shortest posts on the Mac blog, but it has a very simple message – we’ve released a second beta of Skype 2.8 for Mac, and you should download it now 
In this beta, we’ve focused on fixing bugs to get 2.8 ready for its Gold release. We’ve paid particular attention to Skype Access, which lets you pay by the minute for WiFi using your Skype Credit – it’s possibly the coolest new feature in this release (sorry, screen sharing) so give it a try and let us know what you think.
We’ve also done a bit more sprucing up of the interface, and have added an account window (Account > View Account), much like you find in Skype for Windows, so that you can buy Skype Credit, edit your Skype To Go speed dial numbers, and so on – all from within Skype.
As always, we welcome your feedback – let us know what you think of Skype Access in particular. Your comments will help us make Skype for Mac even better.
Update: The more technically minded of you might be interested in the release notes document (PDF)
