As I’ve told you yesterday, Microsoft rolled out a new Skype version for Windows 8 users that comes with improved video messaging and other bug fixes.

The company has now provided more details on the release, explaining that this new video also comes with enhanced HD video support to improve the overall calling experience.

“We’ve added support for HD video in select scenarios. Depending on the sender’s camera, available network bandwidth and the receiver’s setup on x86 devices, callers may be able to send 720p video and receive 1080p video, thereby improving the overall quality and performance of the video call,” the Skype team explained.

In addition, the Softies have also repaired a number of bugs found in the previous versions and affecting file transfers and the notification system.
