[Steve Pattison]

Skype version 4.2.0.163 is now available and one place where you can
download it from is www.skype.com.  Here are the changes in this
version:

Audio

Deactivated the keyboard tapping removal feature during conference calls because
of complaints from blind people and gamers.

Calling

Improved call stability between two Skype 4.2 for Windows users.
Fixed issue causing consecutive call drops right after call start.

Call Quality Indicator

The preferred microphone settings were not saved when the device was set from the
Call Quality Indicator device selection list.

General

In some languages Skype showed an error message "unterminated tag" which prevented
users from logging into Skype.

IM

The IM notification icon was not correctly displayed during a full screen video call.

Screen sharing

Screen sharing from Skype 4.2 to Skype 4.0 or lower did not show video to the receiver
if their computer had Pentium 4 or Pentium 3 processor.

Video

The High Quality Video logo sometimes flashed during a video call.
Outgoing video froze when Skype raised the outgoing video quality.
When on a video call to an Asus Videophone users, the local video preview sometimes
froze and the other side saw a green still image after some time into call.

Voicemail

In rare cases it was not possible to listen to old Voicemails which were received
through Online Number.
