    Default Skype For Linux Loses Beta Tag, Hits 4.0

    After more than 3 years in development Skype for Linux has shaken off its beta tag and made a substantial new release.

    Bumping the app version from 2.2 all the way to 4.0, Skype have nicknamed the release ’Four Rooms for Improvement,’ because, they say, that this release ‘finally [fills] the gap with our other desktop clients and we are now making many of the latest Skype features, as well as a lot of UI improvements, available to our penguin lovers.

    This release marks only the second update to the Linux client in a year. The previous update, made last month, sought to resolve a minor bug issue in the static package.

    Rahtid a skype update... I thought skype forgot about us

    edit: so it seems that this upgrade only works for Ubuntu 10.04... I'm sure theres a way to make it work for 12.04 but I dunno how to do it. I've tried upgrading it, and ive completely removed and reinstalled skype and neither works.

    Instructions are on the site above for installing on 12.04. Let us know if it works.
    Knowing the solution doesn't mean knowing the method. Yet answering correctly and regurgitation are considered "learning" and "knowledge".

    still laggy and crappy on my end.. Microsoft is only pushing out a few silly bugfixes and updates, no serious work is ever going to be done on Skype..
