Skype for Mac 1.5 Beta released

July 25, 2006 06:53 AM

Topics: General Notices | Life | News | Products | Skype News | Skype杂志 | Video | ebay | skype | skypejournal | software | voip

See the Mac 1.5 Beta announcement. BETA release: 1.5.0.48. Also: Interface refresh, import contacts from Apple's Address book or Entourage, more languages (French, Spanish, German, traditional Chinese, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch), support for presence and SkypeMe buttons, and Mac starter packs. For OS X v10.3.9 Panther or newer. The last minor update was May 11, and the last major update (1.4) was in January 2006. Download the Mac 1.5 beta.

Correction: (Thanks, Ryan) Video calling is only in version 1.5.0.47. 47 is the same as 48, but it has the only-modestly-tested video component added. Read about the video preview or download the preview. Known video issues from the Change Log:

  • CPU load is very high when in a video call
  • Skype has to be restarted in order to detect a new camera
  • Problems when video preferences are opened during a video call
  • Delays when enabling video, and when video call is resumed
  • Pausing a call in full-screen mode closes the full-screen window
  • If video is stopped while in a call with a Windows user, the call has to be restarted for the video to work properly

Phil,
I just recently was introduced to Skype thanks to a class i am taking for my masters degree. During the class i was alos introduced to gizmo. The way that i found your page was by conducting research for a paper on PC calling. I find your site to be very informative and plan on celebrating onewebday. I recently just began my own blog and as recently as this past weekend wrote about Skype and Gizmo following an article in the local paper. I included my blog and any tips , advice, or comments would be greatly appreciated. Just remember it is a work in progress. thanks jonathan
