Skype on Mac: New beta 2.7

While trying to update my version of Skype today, I was surprised to see that I was about downloading more than expected... funny (see the screenshot below which says in french: Downloading 38.4Mb of 29.7. Remaining: ----).

Anyway, a new version of Skype 2.7 beta for Mac is available for download here.

Now you can organise your contacts into as many groups as you need. While there are some pre-defined groups (like Online, Recently Contacted, Address Book Contacts), you’re free to add new ones that suit your life. This is very useful to those who are very popular and have a contact list with hundreds of people. Explore this feature under the cogwheel icon on the main screen and selecting ‘Show Contact Groups’. See the user guide.

Here’s what else is new:

  • See your Apple Address Book contacts in Skype - easily call or SMS anyone who has a phone number in their address-book profile. When sending a SMS, just make sure the number you’re sending to can receive SMS.
  • Create and manage public chats by clicking on Chats in the menu bar and choosing Start Public Chat. A public-chat assistant will walk you through the necessary steps.
  • Auto Redial for busy or unconnected calls. When your call hits the busy signal, Skype will give you the option of automatic redial every two minutes until the call goes through. This setting can also be adjusted in Skype > Preferences > Calls.
  • Easy sound controls – when you need to tweak the sound level during a call, use a simple slider in the call window, or change your device by clicking on an new icon.
  • Overhauled file transfer – wearing a more fashionable jacket, file-transfer now looks elegant and acts even nicer, especially when receiving many files at once

Skype sur Mac: Nouvelle version beta 2.7

J'étais entrain de télécharger une mise à jour de skype aujourd'hui quand je fus surpris d'apprendre que je téléchargeais plus que ce qui était fourni... Amusant (voir la photo d'écran ci-dessous).

Quoi qu'il en soit, la nouvelle version beta de Skype 2.7 est disponible au téléchargement ici.

Maintenant on peut organiser ses contacts en autant de groupes que nécessaire. Bien que certains groupes sont prédéfinis (en ligne, récemment contactés, contacts du carnet d'adresses), on est libre de les choisir comme l'on veut. C'est très utile pour ceux qui possèdent des centaines de contacts.

Les autres nouveautés :

  • Les contacts du carnet d'adresses de votre Mac sont disponibles dans skype : on peut les appeler ou envoyer des SMSs très facilement.
  • On peut créer des chats publics et les gérer en cliquant sur Démarrer un Chat Public depuis la barre de menu. C'est un peu le pendant des canaux IRCs.
  • Renumérotation automatique lorsqu'une ligne est occupée ou que l'appel a échoué.
  • Contrôle du son rendu plus facile encore – on peu contrôler le niveau de son même pendant l'appel.
  • Transfert de fichier revisité : les transferts sont plus efficaces et plus simples surtout lorsque l'on échanges plusieurs fichiers à la fois.
