Skype 4.3
introduces a new look, improves chat features, makes
file transfers more reliable and adds
support for newer versions of PulseAudio, the sound server used by many Linux distributions, including Ubuntu.
Since its release back in June, the native desktop client
has been available to install using binary and Debian installers
from the software’s official website.
Now offered through the Canonical Partner Repository, used to distribute gratis, proprietary and closed-source software to desktop users, this manual step is no longer necessary.
The Most Important Upgrade Yet
News of this addition has a more pressing importance than simply
adding a few new features. As announced earlier this year, Microsoft plans to retire support for older versions across all desktop and mobile platforms, including Linux ‘in the near future’.
