Skype 3.8 for Windows rolling out

By My status Howard Wolinsky on April 29, 2008 in News, Events, Milestones.

The beta version of audio-enhanced Skype 3.8 for Windows has been available since April 2.

Now, 3.8 is rolling out in a public release. Go to the download page to get your copy.

3.8 offers reduced background noise, less delay, fewer call drops, and fewer cut-outs. And if you change your headset, headphones or microphone, you won't need to deal with reconfiguring sound settings. 3.8 does the work for you.

Th new version has a technologically minor but user-friendly change: By default, the user’s profile image is hidden in incoming authorization requests. Some people have offensive images, so Skype decided to conceal them behind a veil. You can still see the hidden avatar if you click on it.

The release also includes a number of video-related bug fixes, Skype’s own UPnP implementation and other tweaks.

Even if you’re happy with an older version of Skype, why not do some spring cleaning and upgrade to the latest.
