Skype development team rolled out a new version of the product. It’s no major build, as the set of modifications available is quite small.

New in the current release is the confirmation message triggered by introducing a contact into a group conversation and a very much needed hotkey for taking snapshots during video calls.

Users also have the possibility to opt out of silent updates. This may seem odd, but it is incompatible with some client environments. In this case, the update notification is still present.

Improvements also include non-standard international phone number recognition for Australian users.

As for repairs, there are several of them, touching on screen sharing, profile (you can now change phone number country code), video and group conversations (full name is now shown). A full list is available here.
