    A direct download worked here. Usually when I try to download a new release announced here, I simply get the last one, but this time it seems that all mirrors (or whatever was causing the problem before) are updated.

    In this version doesn’t work my microphone, exactly like in 3.8.0.96, but in 3.6 all works fine!

    Please, fix it!

    This is an awful release. Not only is this buggy, as stated above, the promised fix for Skype in Windows Server 2008 is not in this! It still crashes on start-up.

    It’s almost as if you have just ONE guy doing all the coding and testing. Pathetic.
