Updates
Long time no see folks. 1.4 is shaping up nicely and is usable for me and Andy locally. It is also almost usable for our betatester guys, tho they still prefer 1.3.0.57 
Some screenshots today.

You can do some chatting and calling around, noveau filetransfer design and events history are also coming soon.
The whole cycle took us a bit longer than previously planned, mostly due to learning new stuff in Qt4 and trying to avoid mistakes we made in 1.3.
I’m not going to write a lot about features here at this point, we have our plan and we try to stick to it, but not disclosing it to the public yet. Once we’re confident we can fullfill our promises, we will put up a list of features to be expected from this version.
Also never mind the version number – 1.4 just means “right after 1.3″ and is not tied to any particular Skype for Windows version or specific feature set.

Back to work now.
I miss the video in Linux. I feel also not taken serious as a Linux user.
Is not it possible to hack the sourcecode so we can create our own Skype under linux?
I don’t know if ever in my life i have been so frustrated about a piece of software. I keep hearing that there is a hard work . That is not so easy to develop this video support in such short term. I’m tired of it. Don’t complain about time because it’s been years since this is floating around here. So time is not an issue here. Guys. Just freaking remove this support for linux so i end coming on this forum and checking every 1 week if you did something to this application. This is not programming you are doing, this is just playing around for years with us. If you complain about time , just freaking open the source code and let the community take over. I can bet my money that in 1 or 2 months it’s there, maybe not in perfect quality but it would be there and people will build on it. But anyway. We all know that this is not possible since your company is so monopolistic (MS style). Whatever with it. i won’t stress myself anymore with you guys. Frankly i hope you will go down one day. Just the MS will.
Hi skype people,
are there any news?
Please give us a hint.
I would feel so much better…
Maybe there is a hope. Some small group from China’s company make reverse engineering of Skype code successfully (I read this in internet yesterday). This mean that we can expect working Skype software for linux (with video I hope) from other companies. Even this can be start for community to build-up own Skype client with Video support and other futures. I’m very sorry to say this – but only this threat for Skype development can motivate them to speedup and show more frequently new versions of Skype for Linux.
Support for skype cast please
Berkus,
You and your team are doing a great job. I know it is hard work and GOD knows that I have no code-writting bone in me. I have to ask you for a favour: Skype on Linux has a one small bug. While dialing into a Conference Bridge or a phone, which requires a pass-code followed by a “#” sign, it never works on Linux for me. I am on conferences a lot and while traveling, I do not have access to a Windows PC and makes it very hard and I have to use my Cell phone/land line. Thanks

Have you tried with 1.4 Alpha?

Will this version support sending SMS ?
I am getting frustrated…
After all I would send more messages and skype would make more money…. why not then ?
Just thought I’d add my voice to the Linux crowed, maby then the Skype people holding the rains on the development teams progress will start to give Linux dev some proper investment.
I’m using Ubuntu 64bit now and what with Dell announcing that they are now providing Ubuntu as an alternative to Windows on their units, Linux is looking to become allot more widely used. Both Linux and 64bit are coming into their time now and there are very good reasons for using them both emerging from the wood work.
Please provide better support for this.
Thanks.
any chance that the version will also become compiled for opensolaris?
thanks
@gh89316 i’m working on skype 2.1 for opensolaris presently.
